00:00The Panthers jumped out to a 3-0 lead after that opening period,

00:04only for Edmonton to even things up with three goals of its own in period number two.

00:10The Oilers took an early lead in the third period.

00:14Sam Reinhart delivers for Florida.

00:16Scoring went 19 and a half seconds left in regulation to tie the game at four.

00:21All, setting us to overtime.

00:23And in OT, Leon Dreisaitl delivers once again for the Oilers.

00:28As Edmonton comes all the way back to even this series at two games apiece

00:33with a 5-4 OT win in game number four.

00:37It's not supposed to happen.

00:38It's just not.

00:393-0 at the end of the first period.

00:40That's Edmonton licking their wounds.

00:41Okay, we're down 3-1.

00:42Let's rally for game number five, force a game number six,

00:45see if we can win that and win game number seven.

00:47Like, that's what's going through my mind if I'm an Edmonton player.

00:49Not, oh, yeah, we're down 3-0.

00:51Let's even this bad boy up here at the end of the second period.

00:54And then almost having that heartbreak where you saw the late goal here

00:57the second time in the Stanley Cup final, under a minute to play,

01:00a goal scored to send it into overtime,

01:03and they rebound to get that overtime winner.

01:05Because there's something about, you know what?

01:07We're down big.

01:08We used all our energy to come back.

01:09I can't believe we blew that game for the fact that the Edmonton Oilers

01:12were able to do an overtime was equally impressive.

01:14But again, just the fact that, like, game number three,

01:17you got crushed in that game.

01:18Game number four, you're getting absolutely crushed again.

01:20You're probably looking at 6-0, 6-1.

01:23Your goalie's getting pulled right now.

01:24It's just havoc all over the place where the morale had to be at an extreme low,

01:28and yet you still won that game and heading back to Edmonton.

01:31What a fantastic NHL final so far.

01:34Three out of the four games in overtime.

01:37Late goals scored.

01:38Big-time comebacks here.

01:39These are two teams just putting on an absolute clinic

01:42of why we love the game of hockey, man.
