🏆 It all comes down to this

The NHL couldn't script a more epic season finale than tonight's Game 7 in South Florida, where an incredible amount of history and consequence is on the line.

The stakes: The Oilers have a chance to complete a miraculous comeback from 3-0 down and end Canada's 31-year Stanley Cup drought, while the Panthers will either win their first championship — or put the finishing touches on the worst collapse in NHL history.

How we got here:

Game 1: Panthers 3, Oilers 0

Game 2: Panthers 4, Oilers 1

Game 3: Panthers 4, Oilers 3

Game 4: Oilers 8, Panthers 1

Game 5: Oilers 5, Panthers 3

Game 6: Oilers 5, Panthers 1

The comeback kids: The Oilers are the first team in 79 years to erase a 3-0 deficit and force a Game 7 in the Stanley Cup Final, and a victory tonight would see them join the 1942 Maple Leafs as the only teams to hoist the Cup after dropping the first three games.

The Canada curse: It's been 31 years since a team from Canada won the Stanley Cup (1993 Canadiens), which is by far the longest drought in the country's history. But don't make the mistake of assuming that all of Canada is rooting for the Oilers.

From The Athletic's Ian Mendes ($):

To our American friends who think we're obsessed with getting our trophy back, please know that we haven't put the country on pause waiting to see if the Oilers bring home the title. Not everybody on this side of the border is on pins and needles. We're not like England waiting for a FIFA World Cup.

An Oilers championship — while erasing a 31-year drought — does nothing for any other fan base in this country. Cities like Ottawa, Vancouver and Winnipeg, who have never hoisted a Stanley Cup, don't receive partial credit. And if anything, an Edmonton championship will only further enrage Toronto fans, who are closing in on six decades without a title.

Can Florida bounce back? The Oilers may have the momentum, but the Panthers have home ice, where they're 8-4 this postseason (and 2-1 this series). It would surprise absolutely no one if they dominate tonight and cruise to their first-ever championship.

"This is probably the biggest NHL game in however many years, and so our fans are jacked up for it. We can't wait." — Matthew Tkachuk, Panthers forward

The wrong kind of history: The Panthers hope to avoid becoming the sixth team in NHL/NBA/MLB history to lose a best-of-seven series after winning the first three games. NHL teams are 206-4 all-time after taking a 3-0 lead, NBA teams are 157-0 and MLB teams are 39-1.

⛳️ Scheffler wins again

Scottie Scheffler won't stop winning. His latest victory came Sunday at the Travelers Championship, where he outlasted protesters and Tom Kim for his sixth title of the season.

Rarefied air: Scheffler is the first player with six PGA Tour wins before July since Arnold Palmer did so in 1962. He's also one of just four players in the last 40 years to win six or more times in the same season, joining Tiger Woods (six times), Vijay Singh (2004) and Nick Price (1994).

Scottie's last 10 starts:

Arnold Palmer Invitational: Won

The Players: Won

Houston Open: T2

Masters: Won

RBC Heritage: Won

PGA Championship: Jail (T8)

Charles Schwab Challenge: T2

The Memorial: Won

U.S. Open: T41

Travelers: Won

A very rich man: Scheffler has already earned $27.7 million in prize money in 2024 and could realistically get to $60 million by season's end. And that doesn't even include his lucrative off-course endorsement deals with Nike, TaylorMade and others.

ICYMI… Cameron Young shot a 59 on Saturday, which marked the 13th sub-60 round in PGA Tour history. He recorded seven birdies, two eagles and no bogeys to finish 11-under.

📆 June 24, 2010: 11 hours of tennis
