Near the end of Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final, as the Oilers continued to stack up empty net objectives in their 5-1 triumph, the internal DJ at Rogers Place queued up Shania Twain’s “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” and 18,000 fans increased to their feet to sing along.
It was the 2nd time in as lotsof videogames in Edmonton that Twain’s voice assisted close out an emphatic triumph. Now, as the Oilers prepare for Game 7 versus a Florida Panthers group that enjoyed a 3-0 series lead combust, it’s tough to argue anybody hasactually been as essential to Edmonton’s return as the Canadian nation star.
If La Bamba is the Oilers’ success tune, then Shania’s 1997 smash hit is their caution siren and it all begun ahead of Game 4 at Rogers Place.
With Edmonton one loss away from seeing the Panthers lift the Cup on their home ice, Twain revealed up for a loaded pregame show that the NHL stated was the biggest it’s ever hosted. It sure appeared to be the ideal release for a fanbase that hadn’t breathedout in 2 months.
