The Edmonton Oilers are heading to Game seven against the Vancouver Canucks. Last night they forced their way with an incredible 5-1 victory over the visiting team. It was a great all around team effort - as they only allowed 15 shots against Stuart Skinner.
Even though he wasn't tested a lot - Skinner was up to the task. It was a big bounce back game for the young netminder.
The biggest star of last night's game was really the crowd at Rogers Place. This was particularly on display in the last few minutes of the game.
At 13:04 of the third period Evander Kane ripped home a clean shot straight off the faceoff. It was the 5-1 dagger - and also featured some fantastic karaoke from the crowd.

The crowd was singing "Livin' on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi as the puck was beind dropped - then they all screamed "yeah" as they realized that Kane had scored.
That wasn't the only time the crowd was rocking out acapella-style.
With 1:51 remaining in the third period, the crowd decided to belt out "Country Roads".
The hockey world waits to see if there will be another opportunity for the Rogers Place crowd to sing like this. It all comes down to how the Oilers perform tomorrow night - for Game 7.
