When You Refuse to Lose in the Stanley Cup Final



Down 3–0 after the first, the Oilers made history, becoming the first team to erase that deficit in a Stanley Cup Final. Calvin Pickard stepped up in relief, and Draisaitl sealed it in OT. It was gritty, chaotic, and unforgettable, a season-saving win that tied the series and completely shifted the momentum heading into Game 5.

  1. You know, it sounds like a cool story, alas Florida wins, becomes the new cup legacy team, and all 30 fans will be elated. Meanwhile, it would be like you said, Draisaitil will have a monument raised, a road named after him and Edmonton will be hung over for about a week. nope, not gonna happen florida wins and there is a small viewing of the cup for friends and family.

  2. Stu was actually good in p1. They shoulda been down by even more honestly, so he definitely gave them a chance to win. I think Picard earned a start next game tho

  3. January 16th 2025 vs Colorado Avalanche. Down 3-0 in the first at 9 minutes left to go. Reminded me a lot of the same kind of game as last night's game. Resilient, incredibly disciplined and players who want to be champions

  4. 3-0 was not Skinner’s fault. At one point in the first period Florida was out-shooting the Oilers, 20-4…

    Lots of talent on both teams; slight adv to Edmonton. But, Florida has great chemistry, I predict a 7 game series.

    I’m cheering for Edmonton. Besides the obvious super stars, watch out for Waldman, Perry and Jeff Skinner. These three have really upped their game.

    Kane needs to stay out of the penalty box.

  5. Interesting. So the play made along the boards by Verhaeghe to force that turnover was a cross check to the back of Stecher’s head. No call and resulted in a goal.

  6. And the New York Rangers hierarchy didn't think Knoblauch was ready for prime time. Hey Dolan and Drury, how did that work out with Laviolette, Gallant and their long-ago Stanley Cups?

  7. Pickard needs to finish the playoff season for the oilers mentality! they need that confidence and reassurance the puck won't go in if they mess up in the enemy zone.

  8. As a leafs fan. Please win the cup bc we been losing to them in the playoffs for 4 years straight lol. GO OILERS

  9. Skinner has played well in all 4 games. G3 penalty trouble and you can never blame your goalie for letting something in on a PK. Are there goals Skinner wants back? Yes, he has to bail out a couple. But this is why it is a goaltender tandem. Stu has a higher ceiling and Picks brings a calm level of consistency. The league hates on Skinner for no reason tbh. Sure, hes not Grant Fuhr. But when he is on, oh boy, is he ever. If not for Skinner this game would have been 6-0 in the first period alone. Rough outting for Skinner but the Oilers would not be in the SCF without him and I wish my fellow Oilers fans recognized that. Him and his family have been getting death threats and if you're one of them reading this get a life BUM.

  10. this series is over oilers in 6 the panthers suck ass bob is a trash goalie and how the fuck is barkov seen as "the best 2 way forward" dude is a KHLer fuck that team

  11. Give them credit they never gave up but the TSN turning point was the refs finally taking their boot of the throat of the Oilers after gift wrapping the game for Florida.

  12. Unglaublich spannend dieses Finale ! Es entscheiden Kleinigkeiten und es kann jeder gewinnen ! Eine absolute Werbung für den Eishockeysport 😂😂

  13. For the first time in years there’s a bigger pylon than Bouchard in the series, I’ve never seen someone fall like ekblad while defending 😭

  14. While watching the game, i first thought that Nurse goal was a lucky deflection off a Panther stick. Watching the replay i was like, wait… WHAT????

  15. they SHOULD Have THIS GAME ON fox ITS A SHAME ITS ONLY ON YOUTUBE AND TNT I Have TO KEEP GOING TO THE SPORTS Bar TO WATCH AND ITS NOT THE SAME

  16. Just AWFUL voice!!!
    Stopped video after about 10 seconds!

    NOT everyone is gonna be a Youtube star!
    QUIT NOW!

  17. …and some how it finds the way in. …………interesting to describe Leon ´s Goal to 5:4. But …as an active ice hockey player I would like to suggest. The Great goals are given by heart , my dears. Oilers ´s large heart gave it in. ❤❤❤🏒🥅🏒🥅🏅

  18. Oilers were the first to to come back from a 3-0, which also means, your "reigning champs" were the first team to lose it. Let that marinate.

  19. Your almost there Oilers. I'm a Canadiens fan, but during the Playoffs, I always root for the Canadian teams…and you guys are just so close. Your just two wins away from bringing the Stanley Cup back home to Canada…Good Luck Edmonton Oilers.

  20. Nothing against Skinner as those goals were excellent shots. The problem was that Edmonton needed something to jolt them and changing the goalie is one way to accomplish that. I don’t fault Skinner on either goal, but a coach has to do something when all else fails.

  21. I’m hoping for Edmonton Oilers to win this game, Go Oilers Go! Boys could do it Oilers! From Dalhousie NB Canada 🇨🇦, be watching it ! 👏👏👏👏👏💙🧡💙🧡🏒🏒🏒🏒🏒🧡💙🧡💙👍👍👍
