Oilers Avoid Sweep, Crush Panthers 8-1 in Game 4
McLeod's Rocket Energizes Oilers
Dominant Oilers Force Game 5
WEB EDMONTON Two days after Edmonton Oilers star Connor McDavid channeled his inner Yogi Berra by asking fans to stick with the team, the Oilers rewarded their faithful with an 8-1 victory over the Florida Panthers in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final.
With the Oilers facing elimination, they were dominant in every facet of the game. McLeod's rocket of a shot gave Edmonton an early lead, and they never looked back.
The Panthers, who had won the first three games of the series, were visibly frustrated by the Oilers' relentless attack. They took several penalties, which the Oilers capitalized on.
The victory sets up a Game 5 in Edmonton on Monday. The Panthers will need to win to keep their championship hopes alive. But the Oilers have shown that they are not going to go down without a fight.
