All the way from Canberra Australia... I remember going to games with my granddad during the mid eighties as a young kid from Northern Alberta. Grew up loving the Oilers and I still bleed Orange, Blue, and White. Just ask my Australian wife. BELIEVE boys... this is different to '06. Florida is absolutely rattled!

You know what makes this win so freaking special, we did it without any McMagic or and McDavid points, we didn't need the magic one to produce the team did. That's huge right now, really big.
I'm trying not to get to excitied, we were here in 06, fighting back and a big game 6 home win and we fluffed our lines in Carolina. Let's enjoy the win tonight, but this fight back is only 75% done, we've got another 25% to go...
Take me home, country road
to the place where I belong
to Alberta, to see the Oilers
take me home, country road

I am so, so excited to see that hit ONE again. It's been a long time coming.
Incredible comeback. Team should enjoy this briefly...and then we have a job to finish. It won't be easy - we finally have that same pressure that Florida's been dealing with - but I think we still have another gear yet, and Bob is broken. He's fragile now and if we can touch him again early, we might be able to score in bunches.

I’m almost 50 and last night I cried like a little kid and I’m so emotional right now.

IF. Big IF we win this, they’re gonna make a movie about this season. Less than a 1% chance to make the playoffs late November, down 3-2 to Vancouver, down 2-1 to Dallas, and down 3-0 against Florida?

Seriously, though, my heart can’t take this s$&$ anymore. I guess the coronary will be worth it if they can complete the comeback.

When is he NOT? If Holland wants to cite a great move he made as Oil GM, he just needs to point at #14.

Some Drai heroics tonight. McDavid trying to do a bit too much again.
Game 7, maybe we can have prime McDavid AND Prime Drai and just bury these guys.

Last win is the toughest.
Have nothing to lose and need to go balls to the wall every shift
So this is what hope feels like?

Forgot to mention. 5-0 in elimination games this Stanley Cup playoffs. Let’s make it 6-0 and Florida 0-1
So this is what hope feels like?

Maurice actually complaining about the offside challenge. Wow, he's looking rattled just as much as Bad Bobo.

Josh Dubow @JoshDubowAP
This is 1st time in Connor McDavid's career that the Oilers won a game he played in but didn't have a shot or a point. It had happened only 7 times before tonight (5 as a rookie in 2015-16, 3/31/18 vs Flames, 3/30/21 vs Canadiens)
I guess we lost all the 7 other times.
Saving himself for a huge game 7.

SiriusXM NHL folks think the travel is wearing down Florida mentally and physically.
Would love that to be true

I could not be happier!!! Unbelievable.
And they did it without McD getting a single point. They won by goaltending, defence and depth scoring!

Wonderful. Oilers probably working on a record for traveled miles in a playoff year.

Imagine thinking your about to hoist the big one and the other team tacks on 4,000km of travel… then 8,000km… then 12,000km… and three losses.

If they manage to win, Whyte Ave will be a complete zoo. The EPS will probably have to deploy most of their force to keep it from turning into a riot.
