Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final rematch is in the books.
Leon Draisaitl fired home the overtime winner as the Edmonton Oilers took Game 1 against the Florida Panthers in a back-and-forth affair.
With the win, Edmonton became the first Canadian team to win Game 1 of the SCF since the Vancouver Canucks in 2011 and it’s the first time the Oilers have led the series in the Cup Final since 1990 — the last time they hoisted Lord Stanley.
After being down 3-1 and completing the comeback, social media was left in awe over the intensity of the series-opening battle. Here’s a look at some of the sports world’s best reactions to the Oilers’ win.
