Canada's dream of ending the Stanley Cup drought may be hanging by a thread as the Oilers went down 2-0 in their Stanley Cup series with the Florida Panthers. The Panthers tight checking style, aggressive forechecking, opportunist offensive strategy and all world goaltending have the Oilers producing nothing in the win column so far.

As the series shifts from Florida to Edmonton, the Oilers need the goals to start flowing on home ice because if oil country proves to be barren this series and Canada's Stanley Cup dreams will be over in four games.

Sats for all, GR
