Sam Gagner’s journey with the Oilers has certainly been one of perseverance. Hopefully, this playoff run brings him the success he’s been working hard for.
It’s always tough to see talented players on the sidelines, especially when they’ve put in the effort and have a storied history with the team. Let’s hope circumstances align for Gagner to make his mark in the finals if given the opportunity.
It sounds like there’s a slim chance for Gagner’s name to be added to the Cup, but stranger things have happened in the world of sports.
If the opportunity arises, it would indeed be a meaningful gesture from McDavid and Knoblauch to advocate for him.
It’s tough for Gagner and his fans to see him waiting on the sidelines, especially during such an exciting playoff run. Hopefully, he can stay ready and make an impact if called upon.
