The Edmonton Oilers made it to the Stanley Cup Final on Friday evening by forcing Game 7 of the game, which likewise did Disney a favor on the advertising revenue before. Edmonton appeared poised for a demoralizing blow after falling into a 3-to-0 needle against the Florida Panthers, a move that spanned three right Connor McDavid scores without. The Oilers threatened to turn the script on the Panthers in an incredibly unlikely way once McDavid’s stick came to life ( in Games 4 and 5 the center provided a combined three goals and five assists ). A slumping Leon Draisaitl suddenly made his appearance known in Game 6 by giving Warren Foegele a gorgeous support despite McDavid being held blank in Edmonton’s 5-game house win. Draisaitl did his little to help set the first-time light on the final 2, 568-mile trip to South Florida by assisting in the first interval.
If the Panthers after seemed poised to extend Canada’s 31- year Cup drought, the Oilers ‘ three- game rally put them in a position to achieve something that’s happened exactly after earlier. The only other time a team has hung Lord Stanley’s beer stein following a set lead by a team of zero to three won on home ice in 1942. Toronto’s keeper was a sly gentleman by the name of Turk Broda, who was once spotted sitting cross-legged on the snow with a plate of cakes in his chest. The Leafs ‘ general manager had instructed Broda to shed 10 lbs or walk the wood the day before the scene was staged. While Broda’s control was usually a little shaky—he used to walk a fumes or two between periods—Toronto’s doubtful come- from- behind effort in 1942 was only the first of his five Cup triumphs. But things shake out on Monday night, Edmonton’s endurance has made ABC’s advertising revenue execs swallow a lot easier. The NBA and NHL championships sounded like they would end in sweeps, a twin misfortune that had n’t happened since 1995, to the entire world just ten days prior. The Boston Celtics beat the Dallas Mavericks five-to-five, thereby defrauding ABC of more than$ 45 million in potential sales income, in Disney’s least bloody financial quarter. According to media quotes, ABC may have made about$ 12 million more with the three extra games than it would have if the line had been decided in straight sets. And because make- goods do n’t appear to be a factor—ratings are up 36 % versus last year’s five- game Final on TNT Sports—Disney will pocket some$ 24.1 million in ad sales revenue. We wo n’t know which team the Hockey Gods will favor until the final horn sounds, but however things shake out, Edmonton’s heroics have been a game- changer for the NHL’s primary TV partner.
