In the 2005-06 season, the Edmonton Oilers embarked on a remarkable playoff journey that defied expectations. Despite being seeded 8th in the Western Conference, they surged all the way to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, with defenseman Chris Pronger playing a pivotal role. One standout moment occurred during Game 3 of the Western Conference Final against Anaheim when Pronger helped secure a commanding 3-0 series lead. With a two-man advantage in the third period, Pronger unleashed a powerful blast that beat the goaltender, extending the Oilers' lead to four goals. Throughout the 2006 playoffs, Pronger led all defensemen in scoring, amassing 21 points in 24 games.
