The bad news for the Oilers is they are down 2-0 in their Stanley Cup Final against Florida. The good news is they finally get to play in Edmonton and 11 of the past 14 Stanley Cup finalists who trailed 2-0 in a series won Game 3.

The Oilers have played better than the final scores in the first two games indicate.

Sergei Bobrovsky has been a difference-maker in goal for the Panthers. He can't play better, only worse and now he's on the road.

Edmonton is 0-for-7 in power play opportunities in the series. I don't see that continuing. I regard the Oilers' power play as the most deadly in hockey.

The situational factor is more than just Edmonton getting to play at home. The Oilers have been in Edmonton for the past two days while the Panthers' flight was delayed three hours by storms. They didn't arrive in Edmonton until this morning. That's not ideal traveling.
