00:00The Florida Panthers were on the verge of sweeping the Stanley Cup up 3-0 and the Oilers
00:09came storming back to force a game 7, 70 years this has not happened.
00:15So we thought on this special day and evening and for those of you here at SportsGrid I
00:18know that you'll be watching tonight all of our shows, all of the different bets that
00:22you can make.
00:23FanDuel and DraftKings by the way have more options on this game I think than they've
00:26ever had in the history of one game and it's probably going to be the highest rated game
00:30in NHL history as well.
00:31So that's why we're bringing in Joe Maddon and Cam Stewart to break this game down in
00:37this little round table discussion that we're going to have on the eve of the finals.
00:41Ladies, gentlemen, thank you for joining me here on Newswire.
00:44How are you guys?
00:46Pretty good, Craig.
00:47I know Joe and me, she won't admit it more because Joe's lovely and I'm more of a big
00:51mouth but we both have the Panthers in this game and I got to tell you, Craig, when they
00:56were up 3-0, I was just counting my tickets, I'm like, oh, you know, maybe Edmonton, they
00:59lose in 5 at the worst 6 and you're thinking there's no way.
01:03The last time this happened, Craig, ironically, Joe knows, 1942, the Toronto Maple Leafs wasn't
01:10born in 33 years so literally, this is nuts what we're seeing right now.
01:14The last time a Canadian team has won the Stanley Cup, the 1993 Montreal Canadiens.
01:19So the whole country is basically, all the people that hate Edmonton, like Joe from Calgary,
01:24it's basically like, Craig, an American equivalent, New York versus Boston.
01:28Edmonton hates Calgary, Calgary hates Edmonton, everybody hates Toronto and that's basically
01:32the way Canada is but now, everyone's galvanized for this game tonight.
01:36Would you not say, Joe?
01:37I think all these people are just saying now, historically, they want Edmonton to win and
01:41shake this curse from 93.
01:43Yeah, absolutely.
01:44After being at game 6, I tell you, that environment up there in Edmonton and how great their fans
01:50were, it's kind of going to be a heartbreaker either way to see one of these teams lose.
01:56You look here, this is our 18th game 7 in Stanley Cup Finals history and we've seen
02:02the Edmonton Oilers be in two of these situations before.
02:06They lost in 87 to the Flyers, or sorry, they beat the Flyers in 87 and lost to the Carolina
02:12Hurricanes in 2006 in that game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
02:17You look at this team, this team is ready but the storyline tonight, I think this is
02:21one of the biggest games in NHL history.
02:25Will it be the storyline of the biggest collapse in NHL history, the Florida Panthers, or the
02:30best comeback in NHL history, the Edmonton Oilers?
02:33It's going to be really interesting to see what happens in this game tonight.
