Connor McDavid admired and looked up to Sidney Crosby as the kind of player he wanted to become one day.

The thrill of victory and agony of defeat at stake in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final are next-level. The routes both the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers have taken to reach the winner-take-all clash will take that emotion
It’s very simple for the Florida Panthers now: Win on Monday, and you’re Stanley Cup champions. Lose on Monday, and you’re the first team since World War II that blew a 3-0 lead in hockey’s title series.
It’s the greatest offer a team could get at the start of every season: Reach Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, and as an added bonus, play host to it in your rink.
The good news for the Florida Panthers is this: There’s a Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final on Monday night, and it’s on their home ice.

The Edmonton Oilers have taken the Stanley Cup Final to a deciding Game 7 thanks to a 5-1 home victory over the Florida Panthers on Friday. Warren Foegele collected one goal and one assist, while Adam Henrique, Zach Hyman, Ryan
Leon Draisaitl made his first major impact in the Stanley Cup Final, and the series is heading back to South Florida.
Draisaitl set up Warren Foegele’s early goal, Adam Henrique and Zach Hyman scored in the second period and the Edmonton Oilers forced a Game 7 by beating the Florida Panthers 5-1 in Game 6 on Friday night.
