There are a couple questions making the rounds as the Edmonton Oilers prepare to play another elimination game on Tuesday night in the Stanley Cup final. Are the Florida Panthers, who were blown out 8-1 in Saturday's Game 4 in Edmonton and gave netminder Sergei Bobrovsky the hook in the second period, showing signs of fatigue or cracking? Or, did the Panthers who entered Game 4 in the best-of-seven series with a 3-0 lead, simply have a bad night in an otherwise brilliant post-season run? Edmonton will try to become the first team in Stanley Cup final history to win Game 5 on the road after falling behind 3-0 in the series. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 18, 2024.
