THIRD PERIOD
0.0: OIL COUNTRY!!! I HOPE YOU’RE NOT DONE BELIEVING!!! With a thrilling 5-1 victory at Rogers Place, the Oilers have EVENED the Stanley Cup Final (that is not a mistake) at three games apiece, setting us up a Game 7 on Monday in Sunrise to decide the Stanley Cup champions. Wow. This is not a dream. Foegele records a goal and assist as the First Star, but this team deserves all its plaudits together as the team that’s come from 3-0 down to leave themselves one win away from the reverse sweep of the Panthers.
We will see you Monday, where the Blue & Orange look to make history and win their sixth Stanley Cup. As Stuart Skinner said: “You can never count the Oil out.”
