The Edmonton Oilers have been the comeback kids of the Stanley Cup playoffs. They need their biggest comeback yet.

The Florida Panthers are one win away from claiming the Stanley Cup for the second consecutive year. They deserve to be in that position. The Panthers showed exactly why during a masterclass performance in Saturday’s 5-2 road victory over the Edmonton Oilers. Florida can close out the series Tuesday at home when the puck drops for Game 6 — which means the opportunity to hoist the Cup on home ice again — having shown they know exactly who they are and what it takes to be a champion.

The Edmonton Oilers boast an 18-2 record in Games 4 through 7 over the past two playoff runs. That’s at least something the Oilers can hang their hats on after a dismal, unravelled performance in Monday’s 6-1 loss to the Florida Panthers in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final. Thanks to that shellacking, the Panthers — the defending Cup champions — hold a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series heading into the next clash Thursday in the Sunshine State.

Other than the fact both conference finals were one-sided, five-game series, this has been an amazing Stanley Cup playoffs.
Isn't this surprising? You'd think in all of the history, a team would have scored to tie in the final 5 seconds of regulation. Certainly in the final 30 seconds.
Corey Perry has scored the latest tying goal in the Stanley Cup Final history (19:42 of P3). 👀 The previous record was by Tod Sloan in Game 5 of the 1951 Final (19:28 of P3). #StanleyCup 🇺🇸: @NHL_On_TNT & @SportsonMax ➡️ https://t.co/4TuyIATi3T 🇨🇦: @Sportsnet or stream on https://t.co/31SFPU7TO5
