Videos surface of the Edmonton Oilers shortly after game 7 Stanley Cup final

Participating in an eighty-two-game schedule on top of a full slate of playoff games is nothing to sneeze at, but when you manage to make it to game seven of the Stanley Cup final just to fall short, it's gut-wrenching.

Now weeks after the final buzzer sounded on the 2023-2024 National Hockey League season, a video has been released of the moments shortly after inside the Edmonton Oilers locker room and it's heartbreaking to watch.

Although the silence was difficult to watch, unless you've experienced a difficult moment in your life, you have no idea how necessary it is. But then Zach Hyman breaks the silence and speaks from the heart.

There is absolutely no doubt that they will be back in the Stanley Cup final. The time will come when they are celebrating on the ice after winning the Stanley Cup and another team will be sitting in a locker room experiencing what the Oilers unfortunately felt this past spring.

Is it hockey season yet? Until then, we wait!
