Edmonton Oilers fans hopeful ahead of decisive Stanley Cup final game against Florida Panthers

A historic Stanley Cup final Game 7 is Monday evening. The Edmonton Oilers are one win away from an incredible comeback and ending Canada's Cup drought, while the Florida Panthers are hoping to lift the trophy for the first time. In 2017, an Archbishop Jordan High School student in Sherwood Park, Alta., just east of Edmonton, placed a seemingly bold prediction in the school yearbook.

An Oilers win would complete the ultimate comeback. The Florida Panthers pounced early, winning the final's first three games, but the Oilers stormed back, stringing several strong performances together to knot the best-of-seven series 3-3.The Panthers, appearing in the final for the third time, are hunting for the franchise's first Stanley Cup — and redemption after finishing as the NHL runners-up last year.

"This is probably the biggest game in the NHL in however many years, so our fans will be jacked up for it and we can't wait." Edmonton could win its first Cup since 1990 and become the first Canadian NHL team to hoist the trophy since 1993. Edmonton Oilers' Leon Draisaitl says the team is focused on winning the game ahead of them, regardless of its significance.

"I don't think our mindset changes. It can't, because we've done some good things — but we haven't done anything great yet."
