Two words: GAME 7! Tonight, the Edmonton Oilers will try and bring the Stanley Cup home to Canada for the first time since 1993.
31 years ago, Patrick Roy and the Montreal Canadiens beat Wayne Gretsky and the LOs Angeles Kings to bring the Holy Grail north of the border.
The last team to come back from being down three and win four straight in the Stanley cup Final was the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs, that’s 82 years ago.

The last three Game 7 finals have seen the road team win, so the odds are stacked in the Oilers favour.
The Florida Panthers have never won the Stanley Cup, Edmonton last won it on May 27th, 1990, the day Brett Kissel was born!
The Oiler superfan has made his prediction with the Spittin’ Chicklets guys.
Have a listen below:
Some other fun facts: whenever the Oilers have lost 3 in a row, they’ve always come back winning 5 in a row or more!
