2024 Stanley Cup Finals EDMONTON OILERS FORCE GAME 7! Do It For ADAM HENRIQUE!

[@runninwiththedevils]

My Official Prediction for Game 7 is 3-1 OILERS. (goals by McDavid, Bouchard and Kane) I will send a prize to whoever gets the winner and score correct! Reply with YOUR predictions (and goal scorers, which will be the tiebreaker in the event of a tie) HERE :

As an Oilers fan, thank you so much Devil's for Rico! What an addition to our squad. He has taken our 3rd line and turned them into straight killers, you love to see it! Enjoy Markstrom, and maybe we see the Oil and the Devils in the cup final in 2 or 3 years!

Lets be honest here...Florida is in total panic mode and that includes bob. Now, that is not to say Florida cant pull this one out, but Edmonton has SO much momentum right now and I fully expect McDavid to be in beast mode on Monday.

[@runninwiththedevils]

@Oiler-ni7rq I agree. Anything can happen in one game. But it just seems like the Oilers' DIVINE DESTINY to pull this off now. I am expecting an absolute freakish display of other-worldly talent from McDavid. This is the most pumped I have been for a Non Devils hockey game since the 2010 Olympic Gold Medal game which featured Team USA getting their hearts broken by Sidney Crosby and Team Canada. LET'S GO OILERS!!!

[@alisasandul190]

I think i was more nervous and anxious for tonight's game than Game 7. I want my boys on top more than anything, but the Panthers are a dangerous team.. they won't roll over and die. And honestly, I'm terrified that, instead of being demoralized, being underestimated actually helps them somehow.. The Oilers can win, but they have to play the perfect game against a team like this. Cause honestly the Panthers make me hella nervous even now! Tho this might just be my emotional trauma from the last time our boys made it to the finals...

[@Skibumbeer]

No disrespect to Henrique but players like Nuge and Hyman deserve to lift the cup more. Nuge has been loyal, diligent, changed his game, a catalyst. Him especially

[@runninwiththedevils]

@Surl9596 I can't disagree. Nuge came into the league the same year as Henrique and has been in Edmonton his entire career. There is no debate there. However, I am a Devils fan and do not personally care about any of the other players on the Oilers in the same way. (I am a huge McDavid fan though) Hope that makes sense...

What a game! I see the Oilers winning...this season has been a season full of choking. We choked massively in big games, and missed the playoffs...and we were supposed to be cup contenders. The Flyers were kicking ass halfway through the season, and choked, missing the playoffs.

This series has been unbelievable... the hockey being played is fucking incredible... like this comeback... how is that even real?!

[@FailedBard]

Carrick has been okay when rotated in for a 4th liner. Perry has scored a couple big goals but hasn't impressed me overall. Henrique though, he's looked good no matter where they've slotted him in, and centering that third line with Brown and Janmark on his wings he's been fantastic. All three on that line have been so good these playoffs they've likely priced themselves out of Edmonton. I'd expect they'll all get $2 million plus and they've earned it, win or lose game 7.

[@runninwiththedevils]

@FailedBard Henrique has been an underrated player in the league for awhile IMO. I hope he wants to return to NJ. I can see him wanting to stick in Edmonton as well. Free Agency is going to be very interesting this summer.

[@FailedBard]

​@@runninwiththedevils If Henrique goes hopefully he can make it work with the Devils next year. I do like to see older players, like Gagner for the Oilers, have a chance to finish up where they started off, even if it's in a reduced role.

@TravelinDevil76 I can't believe we are on the verge of this actually happening! I hope we can get Rico back to NJ. It would be one of my favorite "reunions" of All Time. Some notable ones that stick out immediately are Lemieux coming back in 2000 (another Cup with the Devils), Arnott in 2010, and Sykora in 2011. The last 2 were more sentimental than productive moves, as they did not do a ton in their second stints as Devils. But to have both of the departed A-LINE members back years later?!? Gotta love it. I couldn't fathom that 2012 G7 vs. Florida being someone's first hockey game! What a complete spoil! That is an amazing moment for you two. Florida may be the "cheapest" market for a Stanley Cup Finals Game 7! I think even in NJ it would be more like $1,600-$1,800. If it were in a "real" hockey market like Edmonton, Montreal, Toronto, Minnesota, etc it would likely be $2,600+ in today's Monopoly money. Then major cities like NY and LA would probably come in at a similar figure.
