The Edmonton Oilers are halfway to the impossible.
In a Stanley Cup Final that looked like it had already crashed on the rocks, the Oilers have assumed control, turning a 3-0 series deficit into a tidal wave of energy and momentum.
Proving that their 8-1 win in Game 4 was no fluke, the Oilers rolled into Florida’s rink and walked right through what was supposed to be the Panthers’ best and most desperate game.
This time it was 5-3 as The Team That Wouldn’t Die rolled out to a 3-0 lead and calmly closed the deal, dragging the Panthers and their families back to Alberta for a Game 6 that none of them ever wanted to see.
