"Calm down everyone': Florida Panthers country reacts to historic Stanley Cup Final collapse
Article content
Florida Panthers hockey country is disgusted and down, but not out. In fact, the more sober fans and commentators from Ratland are quietly confident their team can rebound — and with good reason. Florida has brought its best game more often than the Oilers in this Stanley Cup Final.
Still, there was plenty of outrage and upset in Florida as the Panthers fell apart, losing in historic Stanley Cup Final fashion. The Oilers were the first road team to cone back from a deficit of at least three goals and win since the Montreal Canadiens did it to the Seattle Metropolitans in overtime in 1919.

'Oh God, that hurt': Toronto Maple Leafs insider can't bring himself to celebrate Oilers OT win
Article content It's also part of the so-called 'Elbows Up' approach to Trump's USA, but with added impetus when it comes to hockey because a Canadian team hasn't won the Stanley Cup since Montreal did it in 1993. On Friday's Real Kyper and Bourne show, McKee told a heart-felt story of his own muddled half-hate, half-love response to Edmonton's historic 5-3 comeback win over Florida — the first time since 1919 that an NHL team has come back from three goals down to win a game in the Final. Edmonton's push for the Cup comes after Florida beat the Leafs in seven in Round 2, an embittering loss that now sees the Leafs franchise in disarray, with star forward Mitch Marner reported to be wanting out of Toronto now. 'What a hockey game,' McKee said of Edmonton's Game 4 win. 'I just, I can't… I'm having a hard time with this. Because I think a lot of Leaf fans listen to the show. And it is such an electric final. And these are two unbelievable teams. But there are like two, it's very like directly connected to Leaf fandom and like, just because I want to root for the Oilers, okay? I really do.'
