The Edmonton Oilers made history over the weekend being the first team to push the Stanley Cup Finals to game seven after starting out the series with 3 consecutive losses against the Florida Panthers.

They head to Florida where one of the teams will come out with the cup tonight. If the Oilers win it will not only be the first time a comeback like that has ever been done in the NHL, but also the first time a Canadian team has won the cup since the Montreal Canadiens in 1993.
