Heading into Florida for Game 5, the Oilers had full belief that they could force the series back to Alberta, and it showed in their mic'd up clips on the bench during the win.
Connor McDavid came off the ice after his final shift and loudly screamed, 'Let's go back to f*****g Alberta!' The rest of the team joined in, with
Zach Hyman being especially vocal too.
Darnell Nurse was also hyped up with the win, repeatedly shouting 'Gas the bird up!' along with other teammates like
Brett Kulak and
Mattias Ekholm getting pumped up on the bench. The defence core seemed to have their own brotherhood on their side of the bench.
The next best mic'd up clip from Game 5 was Zach Hyman and the Oilers' bench reaction to
Connor Brown's opening shorthanded goal. Hyman was standing and cheering as Brown started the breakaway, the whole bench went nuts.
Come on, Brown! Yeah! Brownie! Holy F**k! This guy's a player!
Watching their play on the ice and seeing their attitude in these clips, the Oilers look like they're playing freely and with all the confidence in the world. When they were down 0-3 and the odds were stacked against them, McDavid and the Oilers kept on stressing their belief that this series wasn't over.
Now if the Oilers can defend home ice tonight, all the pressure will shift to the Florida Panthers to not fall victim to the greatest comeback in NHL history. The season is on the line again tonight, and all eyes are on the Oilers to do the impossible.
