Game 7: Two perspectives

 Sooo, alrighty, then.

Game 7. Stanley Cup Final. It's happenin', folks.

It's happenin' because, for heaven's sake, the Edmonton Oilers won again last night, tying the series at 3-3 and extending the frustration of the Florida Panthers and their fans, who've been waiting patiently to hoist Stanley except DAMMIT WHY DON'T THOSE ANNOYING LITTLE S**** DIE?? 

"'Cause we didn't feel like it," said the annoying little s****, who won 5-1 last night in front of a howling mob in Edmonton. That makes them the first team since the 1945 Detroit Red Wings to force a Game 7 after going down 3-0 in the Stanley Cup Final. 

Only the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs have ever won the Cup after trailing 3-0 in the Final. The Oilers will get their crack at doing that Monday night in south Florida. 

Where they will likely be playing in front of a crowd that's in a far different mood than the crowd last night. Because it's all about perspective at this point.

See, in Alberta last night, everyone's reaction was likely this: "Woo-hoo! We've got a Game 7!"

In south Florida, meanwhile, it was likely this: "Omigod! We've got a Game 7!"

Spoken in the same tone of voice in which they might have said, "Omigod! It's Godzilla!"

At any rate, yes, we've got a Game 7. What fun.

Well. For some people, anyway.
