The Panthers, leading the best-of-seven series 3-1, saw their dream of a historic first franchise championship slip away in a truly humbling fashion. Instead of wrapping it up with a broomstick, they got pummeled 8-1 in Edmonton last Saturday, admitting they were outpaced by the Oilers’ sheer desperation.

Sure, they got schooled, but hey, the Panthers can find comfort in knowing that despite the scoreboard massacre, it only counts as one win for Edmonton. They’ve got a clean slate to reclaim glory in front of their home crowd.

Florida’s not new to bouncing back from setbacks. They’ve shrugged off blowout losses twice already this playoff season, responding with big 6-1 victories right after. Putting this shellacking behind them? Easy-peasy hockey squeezy.

Meanwhile, the Oilers aren’t exactly shaking in their skates either. Remember how they rallied from behind against Vancouver? They’ve got comeback genes, and that’s a solid foundation for this make-or-break match-up.

But let’s face it, Edmonton knows the Panthers are going to come roaring back after one of the most lopsided losses of the playoffs. It’s like bracing for a tsunami of hockey fury.
