Stanley Cup Finals 2024 preview: Florida Panthers vs Edmonton Oilers
Whichever way this year's seven game series for the holy grail of hockey goes, it will feel like a seismic victory. For the Panthers – who came into the Finals as narrow favorites and have taken the opening two games – it would be the first championship win in the franchise's history and will douse the painful memories created by their loss to the Vegas Golden Knights last year.
While a win for the Edmonton side would crown the first Canadian NHL champions for 31 years. It's been a long, long time since the Oilers' 1980s heyday that saw them lift the cup five times in seven years and there have been some hard years this century. Could this be the genesis of another Hall of Fame-worthy dynasty?
Goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky was the hero of the Panthers' opening win at the Amerant Bank Arena, coming up with no fewer than 30 saves. You just don't do that to Connor McDavid... but somehow the Russian veteran did! Then it was over to the Cats' offence in game 2, with Evan Rodrigues netting twice in the final period to take the game away from the Canadians.
Only five times in Stanley Cup Finals history have a side come back to win from a 2-0 deficit, the last being over a decade ago when the Boston Bruins managed it in 2011. The Oil will need to make a fortress of Rogers Place in order to give themselves a chance of a comeback – starting this Thursday.
