The Oil have nothing to lose at this point. Down 3-0 (soon to be 3-1), while the Panthers are heavy favorites given the first 3 games. Suddenly the Oilers blow them out, and the heir-apparent Conn Smythe winner is pulled.
This is the the worst case scenario for the Panthers holding a 3-0 (again, soon to be 3-1) series lead. The pressure definitely switches after tonight.
Florida has to reset and affirm that they go about business as usual. Win, hoist, and celebrate at home.
