Snoop Dogg Guarantees Edmonton Oilers Win in Game 6: 'I Can See the Future'

L.A.-based rapper Snoop Dogg performed in Edmonton ahead of a pivotal Stanley Cup final game between the Oilers and Florida Panthers.

Michael Traikos and Jacob Stoller dicsuss whether Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid has done enough to win the Conn Smythe Trophy, even if his team loses the final.

The Edmonton Oilers received a bit of good news on Thursday, when Los Angeles-based rapper Snoop Dogg told a sold-out Rogers Place crowd that there will be a Game 7 in the Stanley Cup final.

“Tomorrow night the Oilers will win in this building," Snoop Dogg told concert-goers. "I can see the future.”

Snoop Dogg, who was rocking a Georges Laraque Oilers jersey, led the crowd into a "Let's go Oilers!" chant and said he felt the Stanley Cup was "coming home."

The 52-year-old has long been a fan of NHL hockey. He performed at the 2017 All-Star Game in Los Angeles and even lent his laid-back vocals as a play-by-play commentator for a game.

Most recently, he was part of the group trying to purchase the Ottawa Senators. But apparently, his allegiances have shifted.

The Oilers, who were down 0-3 to the Panthers in the best-of-seven series, could force a Game 7 with a win in Game 6 on Friday night. If so, maybe they need to change their post-game celebration song from 'La Bamba' to 'Gin and Juice.'
