Tin foil hat on for this one probably just still upset. But something just doesn’t sit right with me about how this all played out. In 2006 the team made a Cinderella run getting all the way to game 7. Game 7 it was like everyone just stopped playing. I chalk it up to having nothing left in the tank. Fast forward to 2024 team makes it game 7 and almost the identical scenario plays out minus the empty net goal. Now I’m not saying that sports are 100 percent scripted but at this point you have to wonder. How do two teams 18 years apart have almost exactly the same thing happen in game 7 for some of them being their last chance at a cup? Does anyone else here start to wonder if it’s all smoke and mirrors and the players follow a script?

Imagine, another 18 years wait to get to the final again, if ever, Oilers fans, I'm just glad that I will not be around to witness that again.
