Duncan Keith just saved the Edmonton Oilers' season vs Panthers

They declawed the cats, and put their offensive firepower on display as they defeated the Panthers, 8-1.

This was after Duncan Keith, who is a consultant for the Edmonton Oilers in player development, gave a rousing speech to the team. Discussion the time, the Blackhawks rallied to force a game 7 against the Vancouver Canucks, after being down 3 games in the series.

It looks like Keith found a way to tap into their motivation, as 14 of 18 Oilers on roster registered a point against the Panthers last night.

The Blackhawks of the 2010's dynasty remain relevant, as the story of the Wester Conference Final against the Canucks, helped to push the Oilers into the Win column, finally.

Unlike the Blackhawks in 2011, the Oilers still have a shot at the Stanley Cup, whereas Alex Burrows ended the Hawks fate in Game 7.

Keith's stories have changed the way the Oilers have viewed the Stanley Cup Finals and will for sure have continued life in the series, thanks to the former Blackhawk.
