Oilers have players' loved ones send in messages before Game 1
The Edmonton Oilers have garnered plenty of tears from fans ahead of Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final.
Following their Western Conference win against the Dallas Stars, the Oilers are preparing to take on the Florida Panthers tonight. This afternoon, the Oilers released an awesome video on X, which featured messages from parents and significant others of players throughout the roster.

One of the messages came from Connor McDavid’s mom, Kelly, who congratulated her son on all he has accomplished so far this season.
“Hi, Connor,” she said. “Just wanted to send you a big congratulations for all you’ve accomplished this year.”
This was a gesture from the Oilers that many hadn’t ever seen or heard of before, and the fans are absolutely loving it.
Who’s cutting the onions here? 🥺😢

Family angle got me. Amt of time these plyers spend away frm their family to play this gm, the sacrifice that family makes. The love & understand & pride really showed through. #Oilers could have made a hype vid w/ pump-up music & quick cuts, but made one w/ 💙🧡#LetsGoOilers!
