The GIST: Following two intense Conference Final matchups, the stage is set for the Stanley Cup Final, featuring a team from Canada for the first time since 2021 and Florida’s top four players just four wins away from redemption. Ice, ice, baby.
After a six-game series, the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Dallas Stars in the Western Conference Final. Connor McDavid’s performance in Game 6, where he scored the opening goal, sealed the deal for Edmonton, securing their spot in the Stanley Cup Final.
The Oilers last vied for the Cup in 2006, when McDavid was only nine years old and The Devil Wears Prada was dominating the box office. It may have taken some time, but the Oilers have finally made their way back to contention.
The Florida Panthers have also booked their ticket to the Stanley Cup Final for the second consecutive year. The reigning Eastern Conference champions took down the NY Rangers in Game 6, proving they are serious contenders for the championship. Will they be able to complete their revenge tour when the final kicks off later this week?
