All hockey fans in Canada are behind the Oilers tonight as they have the chance to end the 34-year drought and bring the Stanley Cup back to Canada.
Of course, the vast majority of NHL players are Canadian, but no Canadian team has won the coveted trophy since the Canadiens in 1993.
A big surprise for Connor McDavid's Oilers
The 7th and final game of the NHL season will be played in Florida, but fan support might be less than expected.
Many Panthers fans have sold their tickets at ridiculous prices. Some seats sold for thousands of dollars, and Oilers fans bought them all.
A chartered flight full of fans made its way to Fort Lauderdale so fans could potentially watch their team win the Cup.
A very clear message to Gary Bettman
Once again, Canadian fans are showing Bettman and the NHL how passionate they are.
Panthers fans, who might just be ticket holders, sold their property to Panthers fans, who not only paid astronomical sums for entry rights but also for flights, hotels, and all expenses.
Such dedication is quite powerful and shows the commissioner that fans in Canada are willing to go much further to support their team than other places in the United States.
At the Panthers' home tonight, it will be very noisy, but not necessarily for the local team.
