The Stanley Cup Final between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers is proving to be thrilling, with hints it could be the greatest in its history. Amidst fierce competition, Connor McDavid faces pressure as the Oilers struggle following a decisive Game 3 loss. The game devolved into chaos, highlighted by aggressive play and numerous penalties against the Oilers, suggesting desperation. While some fans may dismiss this rematch as lacking excitement, the series represents a contest between the best teams, underscoring the stakes involved in capturing the coveted Stanley Cup.
Evander Kane and Kasperi Kapanen were especially dirty Oilers... The third period turned dirty, with so many players sent off they were close to seeking volunteers from the crowd.
This Final could still go to Game 7, just as last year's Panthers-Oilers 1.0 did? No. But likewise nobody should doubt the Panthers have seized the upper hand in this series.
Hockey fans disinterested in this Final because it's a rematch series are... insane. You have the two best teams in the NHL... clearly.
Connor McDavid has to sense his latest shot at an elusive first Stanley Cup trophy may be slipping away from him. Again.
