They did however, lost all 3 of their most recent Game 7s (2011, 2020 and 2024).
      Here is what I find interesting. They have never won a Game 7 outside of the first round. They are 0-3 in Game 7s in the second round (2003, 2020 and 2024), 0-2 in Game 7s in the Finals (1994 and 2011), but they are 6-2 in first round Game 7s (both losses to Calgary: 1989 & 2004).
      They have never lost a Conference Finals. Every time they made it past the 2nd round, they get to the Finals. In their 3 Conferene Finals, they have never played a Game 7. In fact, all 3 Conference Finals, they beat their opponent relatively quickly in 5 games.

    Leafs fan from Toronto, favorite game 7, was Pittsburgh over Detroit, recalling Detroit fans singing livin' on a prayer at end of game two being "half way there" and Pittsburgh then winning 4 out of next five was absolutely thrilling. This year's final, feels like Florida's mistake was thinking the series was over and in the bag after game 3, mgmt. Discussing on secretly flying family into Edmonton for game 4. Just felt like they had assumed their fate as winners before winning anything. Now doubt along with fearing of losing in epic fashion is plaguing the team

    I remember the 1987 finals and it's one of the biggest heartbreaks of my sports fandom. The Oilers up 3-1, going back to Edmonton for game 5 the newspapers published parade routes for the next day and for a while it looked like the series was over as the Oilers had a 2-0 then 3-1 lead but the Flyers battled back to win 4-3. Game 6 back at the Spectrum is probably the greatest hockey game I ever saw. The Oilers up 2-1 with about 7 minutes left when Brian Propp tied it up then a minute and a half later, a shot on Fuhr deflected all the way back to the blue line when JJ Daigneault hit a slap shot past Fuhr for a 3-2 lead. I swear I heard the pop from my house in South Jersey when that goal went in. Then game 7 which was a day before my 22 birthday I thought it was destiny(the Sixers on their last title on this exact same date in 1983). Flyers take a 1-0 lead but Messier tied it. Then the Oilers score in the 2nd and with both teams battling, Glen Anderson slid one under Hextall and the look of dejection on him broke my heart. We've been back to the finals twice since then but both were anti climactic by comparison(4-0 loss to the Redwings and 4-2 loss to Chicago). My heart still aches over this series.

    Roy vs Brodeur was epic. I remember it fondly, as I quit watching hockey when the Nords were moved, if anyone knows how the Habs vs Nords fans rivalry was, it was to the point where it could start fights between uncles at christmas parties after having too much to drink, I never saw the Toronto/Ottawa Ontario rivalry as intense, only maybe Alberta has something still as similar as that. So my team was the Avs but there was no way for me to watch the games other than what TNS/RDS would decide to showcase when the Habs were eliminated, I didn't watch the Habs, ever, plus, soon after the Nords left, the Habs probably had their worst/darkest era, the late 90's, they were still okay for a while after losing Roy to 2 players I liked very much when they were Nords, but the Avs in their first year were aggressive in their trading, having lost Steve Duchesne, they needed an offensive D, and what a player they got in exchange of Nolan just 9-10 games in the 95-96 season, then they sent Kovalenko, Rucinsky and Thibault for Roy and oh boy, there were already rumors Roy wanted to be with the Nordiques since he's from Quebec City, but the humiliation only happened in the 95-96 season in that ridiculous game against Detroit where Roy demanded a trade live.
    Roy retired soon after that 2001 cup, kind of early, but he sure taught the next great goalie, the guy who would go on to break a lot of Roy's records in fact, it helps he played until 42 or so, but, credit where credit is due, it was an amazingly TIGHT stanley cup final, a lot like we're seeing now, and Roy, a bit like Skinner, was known to give the out of nowhere bad goal too, despite being amazing otherwise, he's no Patrick Roy but when he's in his zone, he's as good as Bobrovsky, who also was known to give weak goals out of nowhere when younger, especially with Philly. I'm biting my nails to the bone for the Oilers to do the unthinkable, even my dad will stop by our house and watch it, he wasn't even alive the only time it happened so he wants to see this with the whole family.

      I don't disagree, Edmonton is in as stable of a financial position as it ever has been, but it's been tough for the Edmonton faithful at times.
      The Oilers had so much success so quickly in the 80's that many fans under 30 (like me) have just the 06' heartbreak to hang on to and some not even that at this point. Not many fans around have actually seen them win it all these days.

    I think what’s happened in the past really means nothing from other series .. what I will certainly admit to is I was amazed how Shannon was thinking maybe Edmonton can make a comeback when all I was seeing was Florida doing a continuation of the Ranger series .. Shutting down the shots and the goalie edge of Bobrovsky a clear edge for Florida .. wow how things can change .. The question is how teams do under pressure especially the goalies and Edmonton has faced elimination, Florida has not until now and not since Vegas but before that they did have a 3-1 comeback against Boston , but I guess who HASNT come back against Boston? It seems Edmonton has the edge but i wouldn’t be surprised if Florida found a way

    As an Avs fan, it's a given that 2001 was a favorite season for me, especially seeing Bourque raise the cup.
    But also 2019, O'Reilly was such a staple for the Avs during the team's rough years that I was THRILLED to see him win, even moreso the Conn Smythe.
    Rooting for Edmonton for the epic comeback. It's time for Canada to raise the cup again.

    2004 was definitely the oddest for me. I had a pre-season bet on Tampa to win the cup. The only time I've ever bet on hockey. I was talked into putting up a couple of hundred dollars in partnership with a non-hockey fan friend who liked to bet on sports and was trusting my judgement. What made it odd is that I'm a Flames fan and never dreamed they were the ones who'd end up playing the Lightnings for the cup. So I had to decide, do I root for Tampa and the money, or do I root for my favorite team and the glory of winning. Sorry team loyalty, I ended up rooting for Tampa and the money and when the Lightnings won I ended up with about $2000.

    Blues were desperate for their first cup and also blew a 3-2 lead. They lost 5-1 in game 6. They were the more desperate team and won 4-1 game 7. I feel like panthers will be just as much if not even more desperate and throw everything at them. I think panthers could win, but especially the first team to score.

    • @woodsie22
      @woodsie22 3 месяца назад

      The real difference maker in that game, though, was Binnington, particularly in the 1st. And a poorly timed line change at the end of the first for Marchand. The team who wins this game 7 is going to be the one with the better goaltender and who capitalizes on the other team’s mistakes.
      Both the goaltenders in this series are either world beaters or can’t stop a beach ball. And Bob has a long history of that

    Going to be interesting. My two cents is I can see McDavid winning the Smythe regardless of who wins, and if I had a vote I would vote for him regardless. Barkov and Bob had a case but McDavid having 8 points in the first two games of Edmonton's winning streak and smashing Gretzky's assist record seals it for me IMO.

    OT would be unbearable for fans of the two teams but lots of fun for everyone else and kind of appropriate given what has happened so far. My dream scenario is that Stuart Skinner scores an empty net goal with a minute left, which holds up as the game winner after the Panthers pull one back in the dying seconds. Just so that he can prove the "you can't win a cup with Skinner" brigade wrong in the most literal manner possible.
