EDMONTON -- The Edmonton Oilers have entered bonus time.

Every game remaining in this series could be the Oilers last. Down 3-1 against the Florida Panthers is less than ideal. But they've gotten themselves out of worse predicaments before.
It would be a mistake on the Panthers' part to underestimate the desperation of the Oilers. At this stage of the Stanley Cup Final all of the pressure lies on the Panthers to close out the series. Can their killer instinct overpower the Oilers ability to fight and claw their way back?
Time will tell.
Game five will take place tomorrow night in Florida. If there is one thing that the Oilers have excelled at this year, it's closing out games when they get early goals in a game.
The Oilers are now 11-0-0 in every game this past year when they score three or more goals in the first period of play. That record includes both the regular season and the playoffs.
Every game is an elimination game. Every game they are entering the building with their backs against the wall. It's time for the "cup or bust" Oilers to show if they have the resilience to win the cup, or continue their self-sabotaging ways and bust.
