4 months later: hindsight is 20-20 on this moment. While it sucks to have lost the Stanley Cup by 1 goal in Game 7, clinching the conference finals at home in front of that crowd and after so long of rebuilding, being doubted, written off, etc... it means more than anyone could ever put into words. With the changes this off-season and salary cap crunch in the coming years, I don't know that the Oilers will make it back to the finals again soon. But as a fan since 2009, I will always cherish the summer of 2024 and appreciate it for what it is/was and this moment captures that perfectly.
I wish we would’ve kept on to some of our depth, McLeod, Broberg, Holloway, Ceci etc. Rough start to the season per usual but who knows, maybe we find our footing and start playing like contenders again. You can only hope
This is well said. Going that far after the start they had that year...that crazy winning streak...the cup almost seemed like just an extra after that year. I had so much fun watching them that year and I will never forget it. We even got to eliminate Vancouver which is just always a pleasure. The cup would have just been a cap on what was already a full bottle anyway...unbelievable year!
Me too. Couldn’t sit for the last 5 mins., I was too nervous of them tying the game. I almost cried when it was over. I had the stranger beside me hugging me. Didn’t even care, haha. Waiting for game 3 and 4. Let’s Go Oilers!
@@janreldelacruz1674it’s not for us Edmontonians..it’s a legacy! There is a saying if you can’t say something nice then don’t say anything at all! LFGO🧡💙
As a life long Oilers fan born in the early 80s, this is so special to see... We obviously haven't been this excited since 2006... Ugh it feels so good! Lol
I’m from Boston , but I’m glad Edmonton and mcdavid r in the cup final , hope they win , I always make time for Edmonton games to see the best player I’ve seen since Mario .
My first time ever going to a post-season game and it was one that I will remember for the rest of my life what made it better is it was a finals clenching game.
watching this now brings me to tears as a life long die hard oilers fan this team is everything to me and being so happy then when they made it to cup was everything to me, to hear how loud the fans were is insane really makes u tearful LFG OILERS
Been a fan since they defeated my Wings and sent Yzerman into retirement in 2006. Crazy to think it was 16 years since their last cup then, and almost as long since their last finals appearance. Time is a funny thing. PLAY LA BAMBA, BABY!!
I´m from Germany and here for the Leon Draisaitl experience, mostly. But this atmosphere is absolutly cracy. It reminds me of some of the cracy VfB Stuttgart moments in soccer, with a few championships, or just avoiding relegation in the extra time. I´m pumped for the finals and I want Leon, as the best german hockey player ever, to win his cup! And everybody talks about how good Florida is, and I can somehow undestand that they are slightly favoured, but I hope and believe the oilers can do it once again. Remember: Oilers were the underdog against Dallas, too. I, as someone who likes to watch hockey, but isn´t an expert on tactics and analytics and all this shit, believe that the oilers can adept to almost every style of play and the panthers will find that out the hard way!
I watched this match at the Cabin on Jasper Avenue, I don't remember how or when I got home. The last two minutes were like half of my life. Everyone was screaming, jumping, hugging and kissing, even bartenders and security took part in this chaos. This season is historic: failure at the beginning (they had to manage to screw up 12 games out of 14), 16 historic victories in a row, then Victory in the conference and .... the Stanley Cup! I am sure about that.
Say what you want about Oilers fans, but they always seem to show up for their team, and they know their hockey. Watched this on TV and it was hard not to get wrapped up in their excitement. Loudest I’ve ever heard a barn.
I petition the NHL changes the language from “Stanley Cup Finals…to going to the Stanley Cup” In NFL, they say “Going to the Super Bowl” it’s an awareness in choice of words that defines you have achieved greatness and will play for the ultimate trophy in that sport. Saying that something is “Stanley Cup Finals” does not give or convey the significance of making it to play for the Stanley Cup, the greatest trophy in that sport.
It is telling how professionals are either far better at masking their emotions after a loss than junior players, or they simply aren't as invested. These Stars players losing in the Stanley Cup semis appear either more stoic or more disinterested than the young men being eliminated in the Mem Cup.

@@aspect9424 same here, wishful thinking but they did it once. Allot of pieces have to fall into place..
@@aspect9424 looks like we didn't need that depth after all
@@oshxdxw Even though Holloway Broberg and McLeod are dawgs, I ain’t mad with this new team we got

@Swttng-lw5dz were you sitting front row or section 112. It might have been me haha
@@janreldelacruz1674you obviously have zero clue what this means to our city. Oilers have been or thing for 40 years now.
I'm surprised I'm still alive.
I couldn't breathe during those final 2 minutes!!

I aged three decades in those two minutes IRL
So true I was at the game and I’m deaf still 5 days later
This video lives in my head rent free
game 7 lives in my head rent frree
Having seen all the Oilers Stanley Cup Finals this one is definitely a long time coming. Go Oilers !!!
I’m from Boston , but I’m glad Edmonton and mcdavid r in the cup final , hope they win , I always make time for Edmonton games to see the best player I’ve seen since Mario .
👍
Have you ever heard a crowd cheer louder for a simple clear out of the zone? Unreal
Im an Oilers fan based in Chicago so also a Bulls, White Sox & Bears fan. I watch this like once a week.
I do too most electric games I have ever watched
Goosebumps

Even if Florida win it, they'll be a 'one Cup franchise' just like The Dallas Stars & North Carolina Hurricanes.
We're now 1 win away from the Cup! I hope Leon and our Oilers win the Cup!!!
Man, Benn must hate playing elimination games in Edmonton 🤣
The fact that they managed to win with only 10 shots on Dallas and held the stars back in an absolute siege in the end, is insane
Dallas had some decent chances! I’m gonna say 90% skill,10% luck

It almost felt like that the oilers was simply going to test their defensive structure during the third period
McDavid is Superman..he stick handled through Dallas,while in his phone booth..lol😅😅

Dallas 6 on 5 and the Oilers only allowed one shot in the final 2 minutes.
BEHIND EVERY GREAT VICTORY IS A HARD FOUGHT BATTLE
What makes me so sad is that this is the score in game seven but reversed
so happy to see sam gagner in in there wish they played him more but awesome series best in years way to go boys AWESOME
i cried
I peed a little.

So much criticism for Skinner this season when I noticed a 35 to 10 shot difference and Skinner saved 34 of them.
Who is this announcer, this was my favourite call ever omg
history will be made
You didn’t say when tho
@@Shawzyboy Exactly, gotta be safe out there with inflation
@@yclmto7196 gas prices🤓
10 Shots and win ... Respekt
If I could turn back the time I will still spend it with them! My $890 seat was so worth it!!
1:32 that look on Heiskanen’s face… he knew what’s gonna happen
That play from Connor Brown ❤

Yo r u a sens fan (capcitypuck)
Ekholm will be the player that decides the Finals
Let’s hear it for Stuuuuuuuuu fucking us once again.

Canucks Go

Oilers will be back in 2025
I just hope Calgary can support Canada's TEAM
Dallas lose America Wins

Imagine loosing game 7 cup final because you stopped trying
Better than having a sweep
