Oilers forced to practice at secondary location before Game 6

One day before the Edmonton Oilers play the biggest game of the Connor McDavid era, they had to practice at their backup rink because Rogers Place was already booked.
Tonight in Edmonton, Snoop Dawg is playing Rogers Place, and the entire media and practice facilities were relocated to prepare for the concert.
The team set up shop today at the Downtown Community Arena in Edmonton, which is still practically attached to Rogers Place. It still was a surely different sight at practice, but the players didn't let any change in routine affect them. The Oilers are fully locked in on defending their home ice tomorrow night, with McDavid even insinuating they're more ready than the Florida Panthers for this moment.
There's an incredible amount of belief that you can feel coming from this Oilers team, who already dragged themselves out of the basement of the standings this year - now they fully believe they can make a historic comeback in the Cup Final. With the support of their fans on home ice, if the Oilers can pull off one more win tomorrow, all pressure shifts on the Florida Panthers - if it's not in them already.
