The Florida Panthers are feeling positive despite their narrowing lead in the Stanley Cup Final as the series moves back to Edmonton. Head coach Paul Maurice and his team were initially up 3-0 in the series, but the Oilers have fought back with two consecutive wins, bringing the series to 3-2.
Maurice remains confident in his team’s abilities, emphasizing that the series is not over yet. He pointed out that the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs were able to overcome a 3-0 deficit to win the Stanley Cup, showing that anything is possible in hockey.
The Oilers, on the other hand, are focused on taking each game as it comes and continuing to push forward. Goaltender Stuart Skinner highlighted the team’s resilience and determination to climb their way out of the current situation.
With no Canadian team having won the Cup since 1993, both the Panthers and the Oilers are hungry for victory. Florida, in particular, is eager to secure the championship after coming so close to winning the previous year.
Despite the pressure of closing out the series in Alberta, Maurice remains calm and collected, dismissing any notions that his team is under significant pressure. He believes that the Panthers are capable of rising to the occasion and finishing strong.
Looking ahead, Game 7 is scheduled for June 24 in Sunrise, Florida, giving both teams a clear deadline to either secure the Cup or continue fighting for victory. The stage is set for an exciting conclusion to what has been a thrilling series so far.
