The Stanley Cup final is now set. The Edmonton Oilers will look to end a lengthy drought for Canadian teams winning the championship when they take on the Florida Panthers. Game 1 starts on Saturday night in what should be an epic series.
The Oilers faced a tough road to get to this point. Edmonton beat the Los Angeles Knights, Vancouver Canucks and Dallas Stars to win the Western Conference behind the incredible offensive attack of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. Now, the Oilers look to capture their first Cup since 1990 while also ending the Canadian drought, which dates back to 1993.
That last Canadian Cup came one year before the Panthers played their first season. Florida is back in the final after coming up short a season ago against the Vegas Golden Knights. The Panthers ran the gauntlet in the Eastern Conference, beating the Tampa Bay Lightning, Boston Bruins and Presidents Trophy winners New York Rangers. Led by Matthew Tkachuk and goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, the Panthers look to claim their first title in franchise history. Panthers coach Paul Maurice currently ranks fourth all-time in wins, but he has yet to hoist the Cup in his career. It's something that continues to be on his mind behind the bench.
"Everybody's different, every coach is different, and it seems to me, as you age, you get a different perspective on life and what's important and valuable. I need to win one," Maurice said at media day this week. "It's not going to change the section of my life that's not related to hockey at all. That's the truth. That's how I feel. I'm 30 years into this thing. I wouldn't mind winning one."
