Sometimes, when witnessing a series as intense as the Stanley Cup Final, it`s worth stepping back to gain perspective. The 2025 Final between the Edmonton Oilers and the Florida Panthers has certainly been a rollercoaster, reaching a peak of drama on Thursday night.
The Oilers have now clawed their way back to tie the series at 2-2, thanks to a remarkable comeback in Game 4. This game, ultimately decided by a Leon Draisaitl goal in overtime, was a testament to their resilience.
“It`s the craziest hockey I`ve ever played in,” remarked Oilers defenseman Jake Walman, capturing the feeling surrounding the hard-fought contest. He added, “And I feel like, in front of our fans, it would even ramp up a little bit more. I`m so excited to get back home.”
Facing a critical juncture on Thursday in Sunrise, Florida, the Oilers were on the precipice of going down significantly in the series. Their ability to fight back and secure the overtime win not only tied the series but also injected immense momentum, setting the stage for an electrifying return to Edmonton.
