…three games later and the Oilers have flipped this shit on its head.The city of Edmonton has put the entire nation of Canada on its back and have the Oil about to do something we haven't seen in 80 damn years.


Truly moving: O Canada G6, The entire city of Edmonton singing Livin’ on a Prayer

I mean what do you even do or say on that flight back to Florida if you're the Panthers last night? The fact that you had to gas up the bird and head to Edmonton for a game 6 was already brutal enough. But now you're flying back home and you still don't have the Cup on the plane with you? Those assholes have to be puckered up so tight right now.

And sure, it's easy enough to say you're just going to treat it like any other game. That all you have to do is win this one final game and the last 3 don't matter. But..I mean…come on. You know they'll be thinking about how bad this collapse is going to be the entire game on Monday night. It would be impossible not to. This team's psyche has to be shattered.

Monday is going to be insane. We either see the biggest collapse in the past 80 years of sports go down, or we see the hopes and dreams of an entire nation come crashing down with Florida putting an end to this comeback. Either result ends in one of the most traumatizing losses imaginable.
