It all comes down to a showdown on Monday in Florida. Here are the top takeaways from Game 6, along with lingering questions for the final contest.
'You don't touch the Stanley Cup until you've earned it': How the Keeper of the Cup helped shape hockey lore. In the process, they became just the third team in NHL history to come back from down 0-3 in the Stanley Cup Final to tie it 3-3. The 1945We break it down.
These have all been flashpoints that added to the belief that the Oilers might be the most complete team in the NHL. Later, there was the successful coach's challenge of Barkov's goal that was a major momentum swing. And as it's been stated several times during the playoffs, they won games without needing goals from Draisaitl or McDavid. For years, the concern surrounding the Oilers was whether or not they had enough options beyond those two. But as they showed in Game 6, they had several options that proved to be too much for the Panthers.
Why? Because to this point in elimination games, Florida simply has not produced a dominant skater capable of taking over and single-handedly securing a victory. The only player the Panthers can rely on to do that -- in a crunch-time situation -- is Bobrovsky. He's been their most consistent performer in the postseason, and the Panthers have been right to invest as much faith as they have in him being a difference maker. That will never be more pronounced or critical than in Game 7.
