Very very happy for the oilers, this should be a good Stanley finals! I'm afraid due my Canadian connection, I've gotta go with the Oilers!

I looked and looked and found a good outcome for the Oilers……..

2024 NHL Stanley Cup Final: B/R Staff Predictions for Panthers-Oilers

Edmonton Oilers. Florida Panthers. The 2024 Stanley Cup Final.

It might not have been the first choice at the start of the season for the last series in the NHL calendar, but it's hard to argue both teams' place in hockey's showpiece event.

Florida's physical and punishing style has beaten the best in the East, and the Oilers have played thrilling hockey while making their way through the West.

So, who's taking home the Cup? The B/R NHL staff were called together to provide their picks.

Sorry, Canada: Panthers Get the Job Done This Year - Panthers in 6

Panthers now 2 wins from the Stanley Cup, top Oilers 4-1 for 2-0 lead in title series

Evan Rodrigues had a pair of third-period goals, Niko Mikkola and Aaron Ekblad also scored and the Panthers used yet another airtight finishing kick to pull away and beat the Oilers 4-1 for a 2-0 lead in the Stanley Cup Final.

Score through two games: Florida 7, Edmonton 1.

Panthers hold off host Oilers, one win from 1st Stanley Cup

Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov returned to the ice after suffering an injury that kept him out of the end of Game 2, but he got his revenge in Game 3 and helped put his team one win away from lifting its first Stanley Cup.

The Florida captain scored the game-winning goal as the Panthers beat the Oilers 4-3 at Rogers Place in Edmonton on Thursday night. With the win, Florida took a 3-0 lead in the Stanley Cup Final. The Panthers can clinch the franchise’s first title on Saturday night in Edmonton.

“Obviously, it’s there for us,” Barkov said. “But you don’t think about it. You can’t think about it. All you have to do is take one moment at a time. Right now, we’re going to enjoy this win. We know we battled really hard today, and we had a good win. Just enjoy this. Tomorrow, we need to recover and get ready for the game. That’s it. We never think too much ahead.”

Some bad blood from the Barkov hit and injury may have lingered into Game 3, as the Oilers and Panthers did get into a skirmish late in the first period after Sergei Bobrovsky was knocked over.

I'm in S. Florida for most of the week and asked the girlfriend if she wanted to go see the game (nosebleed seats were going for 800.00 a ticket) and she said "No".

Anyway,..........what a mess

Oilers beat the Panthers 8-1 in Game 4 to avoid being swept in the Stanley Cup Final

“We did our job on the offensive side today, but it’s just one win for us,” star center Leon Draisaitl said. “We have to get better and keep putting it together.”

The Panthers’ party will have to wait after a complete meltdown from a team with many players who have never been this close to hoisting the Cup. Bobrovsky was part of that, getting pulled five minutes into the second period after allowing five goals on 16 shots — more than he gave up in the first three games of the series combined.

The odds remain long for the Oilers, given that the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs are the only team to erase a 3-0 deficit at this stage of the playoffs and only four teams total have ever done it.

Oilers did well away from home…..


Oilers fend off elimination again, top Panthers 5-3 in Game 5

Very surprised and it was down to a stupid penalties early on. Quite shocked really, might the Panthers had fucked this up out of wanting to finish it at home?
