The Oilers forced Game 7 in the Stanley Cup Final thanks to the undeniable energy of Shania Twain

Put Shania’s name on the Stanley Cup if Edmonton wins

Near the end of Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final, as the Oilers continued to pile up empty net goals in their 5-1 victory, the in-house DJ at Rogers Place queued up Shania Twain’s “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” and 18,000 fans rose to their feet to sing along.

It was the second time in as many games in Edmonton that Twain’s voice helped close out an emphatic victory. Now, as the Oilers prepare for Game 7 against a Florida Panthers team that watched a 3-0 series lead combust, it’s hard to argue anyone has been as important to Edmonton’s comeback as the Canadian country star.

If La Bamba is the Oilers’ victory song, then Shania’s 1997 smash hit is their warning siren and it all started ahead of Game 4 at Rogers Place.

With Edmonton one loss away from watching the Panthers lift the Cup on their home ice, Twain showed up for a packed pregame concert that the NHL said was the largest it’s ever hosted. It sure seemed to be the perfect release for a fanbase that hadn’t exhaled in two months.

The Oilers went on to throttle Florida in Game 4 and avoid an embarrassing sweep with an 8-1 victory. Rogers Place celebrated accordingly — with more Shania.

Twain even visited the locker room after Game 4 and celebrated with the team.

That sustained the Oilers on their trip back to South Beach, where they successfully dragged the Panthers back to Edmonton with a thrilling 5-3 victory in Game 5.

Which brings us back to Friday night at Rogers Place for Game 6.

Shania didn’t perform, but her presence was in the arena as the Oilers again played the start to “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” only for the crowd to finish off the chorus.

Her impact on the series at this point is undeniable.

Sure, the Oilers could say the reason they bounced back in the series is because Stuart Skinner turned into a brick wall while Connor McDavid went full McJesus in Games 4 and 5, but we all know the truth.

Shania saved the Oilers from a sweep. She just might be strong enough to finally bring the Cup back to Canada, too.

Shania Twain, Tua Tagovailoa share funny exchange on Twitter

Since the video was posted, Twain did just that. She responded. And then he responded again, and let’s just say this… it’s hilarious. 

Earlier this week, the Miami Dolphins’ twitter page posted a Q&A video that Roll Tide Wire shared earlier this week.

In the video, two of the many questions were these:

  1.  Favorite guilty pleasure singer?
  2. Who is your celebrity crush?

BOTH of which Tagovailoa responded with Shania Twain.

Tua even had this to say to Shania during the video: “Shania, if you watch this, from this moment on, please message me back.”

Well, since the video was posted, Twain did just that. She responded. And then he responded again, and let’s just say this… it’s hilarious.

But, it’s not over.

Tua cleverly responded back with the title of one of her songs:

In the end, I think Shania would actually admit Tua did actually impress her much. In fact, I think she might even say to him: “You Win My Love.”

Last season, Tagovailoa threw for 2,840 yards, 33 touchdowns and 3 interceptions.
