The Edmonton Oilers have a chance to make history tonight with a miracle comeback in the Cup Final, and now the history-maker himself Wayne Gretzky has made his prediction on Game 7.
Before the start of the series, Gretzky tried his best to remain impartial of cheering for a winner. Now though, he's saying his heart has always been with Edmonton, and he's picking them to complete the comeback.
Edmonton, I picked them at the beginning, and then we were down 3-0, and I got nervous. But Florida's good. They're both good. Edmonton, I think, is just a little faster. And Florida, they're grinders and they play hard and scrappy. You know, they're just well-coached. I'm just going with my heart.

Being close friends with the Panthers owner and on a national broadcast, Gretzky has to remain a bit impartial, but is clearly alluding to supporting the Edmonton Oilers. Before the Cup Final began, Gretzky interviewed McDavid on TNT and wished him luck in the final games.
I just wanted to say congratulations. I know how tough it is and how much you've gone through, so I'm wishing all the best of luck in the Stanley Cup Final.
