The Edmonton Oilers have a chance to make history breaking their 34 year Stanley Cup drought To do so, they'll need to defeat the Florida Panthers in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final on the road.

But even far from home, Edmonton is making its presence felt in Florida. Explore Edmonton, the city's tourism department, bought billboards near Amerant Bank Arena with a playful message aimed at Panthers fans.

Hey Panthers, enjoying the view? We brought a taste of the Great White North to the Sunshine State with our digital billboards. 🏒

We've heard about your tradition of tossing rats on the ice (interesting choice), but Edmonton is rat-free & we'd love to keep it that way! 🚫🐀

One billboard proudly proclaims: «The home of 5 cups and 0 rats.» This cheeky nod to the Oilers' past glories also takes a light-hearted jab at the Florida Panthers no cups.

NEW: Canadian airline WestJet has two chartered planes heading to S. Florida from Edmonton for Stanley Cup Final Game 7.

Both nonstop flights will arrive on Sunday evening.

Edmonton's fans are ready to party, even if it means doing it South of the Boarder.

I'm not even sure it's gonna feel like home ice for the Panthers tomorrow.

Oil Country travels well. Wouldn't shock me to see atleast 40 percent of that building full of Oilers fans.

Hockey fans everywhere are eager to see if the Oilers can make history and become the first team since the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs to rally from 0-3 down in the Stanley Cup Final. Meanwhile, the Panthers seek their first Cup in franchise history. Monday night's game in Florida will go down in NHL history one way or another.

The vibes out of Edmonton are immaculate
