OILERS ADVANCE TO GAME 6 OF STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS WITH A 5-3 VICTORY OVER THE FLORIDA PANTHERS - GO OILERS GO!

Last night I watched not only the game but I also watched the commentary after the game. There's no doubt that it was a team win but there's also no doubt that it was led by Connor McDavid. Connor McDavid's game has risen to another level and it is a privilege to watch him and his contagion on the team play out. The Oilers are one game away from evening up the series and playing game seven for the Stanley Cup.GO OILERS GO!

We don't have to wait long because Game 6 is guaranteed to be a barn burner with fans rockin the joint and the two best hockey teams in the world taking it to each other on the ice Friday. And don't forget the thousands who will gather at Ice District Plaza and those who gather around the country for watch parties to cheer on the Oilers. GO OILERS GO!

The Oilers are the talk of the town and a sense of tentative optimism is building around the city. There are Oilers colors everywhere and you can feel the excitement growing. It will all peak at puck drop Friday with a loud & long GO OILERS GO! Hopefully we'll go through it all for the biggest excitement of all, game seven of the Stanley Cup on Monday. GO OILERS GO!
