Last night Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers punched their ticket back to Florida for a Game 7 on the road and now Panthers fans are panicking and selling their tickets.

The Edmonton Oilers have mounted an insane comeback. After being down 3-0 in the Stanley Cup Finals they have now evened the series thanks to all-world performances by Connor McDavid and company.
For the first time in nearly 80 years, a team has forced a #Game7 after facing a 3-0 series deficit in the #StanleyCup Final.

Will Connor McDavid and the @EdmontonOilers complete the comeback? Only one team has.

Despite this series being such a historic event there are plenty of tickets to be had on the secondary market for the game at Amerant Bank Arena. At first glance, this seems impossible however the circumstances of the series paint a clear picture of why tickets are being sold.

Panthers fans not willing to risk heartbreak live in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals

With a Stanley Cup victory nearly guaranteed after Game 3 the Florida Panthers have endured a massive collapse. Things have gotten to the point where it seems Panthers fans have lost faith in their team and are unwilling to watch the collapse live. They now are looking to cash in on their team's potential misfortune and risk having to celebrate from their couch.
The number of fans selling their Game 7 tickets is insane to me. I understand a lot of Cats fans feel the inevitable that is coming - but what if the Cats win? You surely will regret this decision. Will our arena be packed with Oilers fans? #TimeToHunt #LetsGoOilers

However, not all fans are abandoning their team going into Game 7. Some fans understand that regardless history will take place and a story will be able to be told for generations.
At the end of the day I am a hockey fan. A game 7 Stanley Cup final is a once in a lifetime experience. If the Oilers win and McDavid hoists the cup - it would be similar to being there when Gretzky raised the cup for the first time in 1984. It's historic - and yes I would be upset, but at the end of the day the better team will hoist the cup - I want to be there to see which team that is. If it's my team - great I will ecstatic. If it's not - I'll be more upset than I have ever been, but will appreciate being there in person to see a game that will be remembered and spoken about for decades to come.

Once the doors open for Game 7 it will be electric to see what kind of atmosphere is inside that arena. Will there be a lot of Oilers fans? Will the Panthers fans show up for their team? Only time will be able to tell.
