Florida Panthers GM, Bill Zito, threw a water bottle at the wall out of frustration after Connor McDavid scored to secure the win for the Oilers.
Here's a fun tidbit: Bill Zito was once in the running to be the Oilers' GM until their search process was scrapped, and they hired Ken Holland instead. Now talk about a little payback. Yes the Panthers lead the series 3-2, but now have dropped two straight. All the momentum is with Edmonton who've outscored the Panthers 15-4 in the last seven periods of hockey.
