Intro

After going down three games to zero against the Florida Panthers in the Stanley Cup final, the Edmonton Oilers won the next three games in a row to tie the series.

It’s a feat that’s only been accomplished twice, and both times were in the 1940s.

Can the Oilers complete one of the greatest comebacks in pro sports in game seven tonight?

After a long cup drought for both Edmonton and Canada, what would the win mean for the city and the country?

And what would a ring for Connor McDavid’s status among the best players ever?

Daniel Nugent-Bowman is the Oilers reporter for the Athletic. Mark Connolly is the host of CBC’s Edmonton AM.
