Oilers Stun Panthers in Nail-Biting 4-3 Finish – What Sparked the Late Surge?
There’s something electric about the Stanley Cup’s arrival on the ice — that shiny trophy isn’t just hardware; it’s a reminder of dreams, heartbreaks, and redemption. This time in Edmonton felt charged differently. Goalie Stuart Skinner, who’s been through the wringer, put it best: last year was wide-eyed wonder; this year? Pure, steely focus. The Oilers, nursing memories of a painful 3-0 hole last finals, flipped the script with a gutsy comeback — clawing their way back from behind to stun the defending champs, Florida Panthers, 4-3 in overtime. Leon Draisaitl, with icy nerves, netted the winner, tying playoff records and reminding everyone why he’s the Oilers’ indispensable ace. It’s more than a game; it’s a statement. The series is wide open, and the pachyderms of pressure are on their heels. You can feel it — something’s stirring in Edmonton, and it’s raw, relentless determination.
