This is game 6 of a 7 game series between the 1st seeded Panthers from the Atlantic Division in the Eastern Conference and the 2nd seeded Oilers from the Pacific Division in the Western Conference for the Stanley Cup Final of the NHL playoffs. The Panthers have a 3-2 series lead after the Oilers won game 5 of this series on the road. The Oilers have now won 2 games in a row to make this a series and they have all of the momentum on their side going back to Edmonton. They have finally figured out Bobrovsky and their offense has started flowing with goals now. The Panthers have been on the verge of winning the Stanley Cup for 2 games now, but they have to be reeling now with the Oilers having a chance to tie this series back at home. It took a few games for the Oilers to adjust to the style of play that Florida has, but now they have them figured out and there is just too much speed on this Oilers team for the Panthers to deal with. The Oilers already have the momentum with them coming into this one and they are going to have the crowd on their side in a very rowdy building, they will get the job done here to force a game 7 in Florida. The best way to place a bet here is on the Oilers to win this game.

They're not feeling deflated. Little grumpy.” - Paul Maurice after his team’s loss against the Oilers in game 5 of this series on Tuesday.
