The top 4 picks from the 2014 NHL draft are all playing in this series. Three for florida. 1. Sam Bennett 2. Aaron Ekblad 3. Sam Reinhart 4. Leon Draisaitl
The city was going craaazy last night! This still feels so surreal, most of us didn’t get to truly enjoy the 2006 run because we were too young but now I just can’t believe it.
@chrisemerson9748 yeah, I don't want to jinx anything but it seems like a much safer bet than 31-1. Honestly, only 50 50, if you consider the idea that the league is laser-focused on mickyD win or lose.
Flame fan here. i might have the petty rivalry with that city, but i know that Canada needs this more than my petty squabble. Plus, I am trying to get all Canadian team jerseys anyway, last ones to get are Vancouver and obviously Edmonton, might be time to add one of those to my collection

Love people complaining about a summer finals: "We want hockey to be good hockey, they need to be giving it their all" "The players need to play back to back to back and not rest so I can watch my hockey faster"
i haven't been this excited for a cup final in so long. the ex-flames on the cats that will make it somewhat of a pseudo-BoA (or as close to a BoA final as we could get), the starpower that mcdavid, draisaitl, tkachuk, barkov, and more bring to the table (and the fact that oilers/panthers players make up the first 5 slots of most points overall in the past two post-seasons), and the fact that it's a canadian team in the final against a southern U.S. team all combine to create such an awesome narrative already. cannot wait to see how this turns out.
Since I refer to Foegle as Foeglethorpe, maybe he can take on the role of Oglethorpe and go after Tkachuk. If not, its up to Kane, if his injury isn't bad. People always say Perry but he won't have as many minutes.
Living in northern Canada, I like the playoffs this late in spring. Person can sit outside with the TV and and a fire and watch the game. It’s pretty awesome.
He could have signed an extension like McDavid and Draisaitl did...instead he DEMANDED a trade at the age of 24...I don't understand your loyalty to him.....considering he had none for Calgary.
I’d root for the Oilers wholeheartedly, they’re my favorite team from Canada. But I’m a die hard Panthers fan born and raised in South Florida. Bring Lord Stanley home and I’ll die happy. Vamos Gatos!
Here is a factor maybe in favor for the Oilers. The Oilers are used to looooooong travel road trips, their closet NHL teams are about 300km and 1100km. The Panthers are surrounded by teams much closer. I wonder if the massive distance between Miami and Edmonton will be a factor and be exhausting for the Panthers?
Interesting question. Here's some context. During the season, there was a stretch where the Oilers went 24-5. An incredible run. Looking into those 5 losses, 2 of them were their games vs Florida. They lost to the Panthers in Florida on Nov 20. They followed that with a road loss to Carolina. They then went on an 8 game win streak, avenging their Carolina loss during that before losing to the Lightning badly at home and even worse to the Cats. A road loss to the Isles followed, and then 16 straight wins. So the point is, this was peak Oilers hockey and they got whooped two times by Florida, including while hot at home. While the Panthers didn't exactly dominate on that road trip, they still beat a hot Edmonton team. Edmonton meanwhile lost both games to the Florida teams down here in the Sunshine state. I take the Cats in 5. They'll win both at home before Edmonton, boosted by the crowd and being home takes game 3. Florida edges them in game 4, then dominates in game 5, bringing the cup back to the state of Florida and into Panthers' possession for the first time.
@@erics2779 personally thinking you will see the best of the best from the Oilers. Even if they loose game 1 they will come back unstoppable. Remember the Oilers had TWO of the longest winning streaks last year. So they know how to bounce back. And beside being a fan on the Oilers I am a fan of the NHL and imagine the history the 31st team in November winning the the Cup would make? Never ever seen such a thing.
@@erics2779The oilers are the only team that I hate, the only thing that you didn’t mention was that Stuart skinner didn’t start in either game against Florida in the regular season
this has been my first season ive pid attention to since like 2016 if ill be honest and im so excited for this final. im a flyers fan but Edmonton has always been my second team and was super excited to see them get mcdavid and its finally starting to get somewhere. go oilers
Panthers fan...just hope the Panthers don't have a slow start like try did with Boston. Stay grounded. Don't take this Oilers team lightly. They made it this far for a reason.
I'm a Canucks fan, am I sad Canucks didn't make it? Sure ... But the Canucks were never expected to produce the way they did.... Edmonton has been a projected contender even when they went like 0/11 to start the season Let's go Oilers!!! Rooting for McDavid to finally get his cup!
@@OWlsfordshireyou mean the Panthers that is filled with Canadian players? That team? Any players born in Florida playing for the Panthers? Thought so. We all know you don’t even know how to lace a pair of skates.
I also hated the commercial and thought it was tone deaf, clueless and unrealistic....Vut then my Oilers made the finals!!!...So come all together, lets join hands...go Oilers Go!!!....you know you really want to....hahaha.
As a Flames fan, yeah, I'm torn on which team to root for heh. McDrai is so fun to watch... but Edmonton. And Florida is great, but Tkachuk should be winning it for Calgary... Calgary could have been so good if they hadn't imploded.
@@richardkean1559hey, how about let people have free will and not be a douche about it. Oh right, I’m sorry, you’re Canadian where you people want to control other people. I’m sorry, please continue
its wild because either way its going to be heartbreak. if the panthers lose twice in the finals, its going to stain their legacy. but if mcdavid and draistaitl dont win this year, it will also stain their legacy as greats. but both of these things wont happen. someone will win. going to be wild to see who comes out ontop. if youre a hockey fan in general, i dont know how you couldnt like this final.

With 24 Canadian players on the active Oilers roster (plus an American, a German robot, and 2 Swedes) the Cup will basically be touring Canada all summer long if the Oilers win. Despite that, I understand if fans of other Canadian teams don't cheer for the Oilers. But there are going to be a lot of friends and family of these players across the nation that would love for the Cup to visit their hometown. Calgary, Vancouver, Edmonton, Montreal, Toronto, and Ottawa would all see the Cup visit their city (sorry Winnipeg). For Leafs fans it's a win-win because if the Oilers lose, their biggest rival loses. But if the Oilers win, McD delivers a Cup to Edmonton and is more open to sign with the Leafs after to deliver them a Cup.
Panthers in 5, maybe 6 if they start slow from the long break. Deep bench, no weaknesses, and the complete ability to shut down high talent offenses. They are also the hardest working team in the NHL.
Ever since the season was over for the Avs I thought to myself the 2 players still remaining in these playoffs who I want to see winning the Cup are Barkov and McDavid. I guess one of them is going to do it now. On one hand it would be cool for a Canadian team to win for the first time in 3 decades but then again it would be cool for the Florida franchise to win for the first time ever. I'm really not sure who I want to see winning this more
It’s crazy how much I look forward to this. It’s going to be history. LFG Oilers but Florida is my second favorite team. I would be devastated to see the Oilers lose, but the Panthers are great. They equally deserve it, but hope it goes to Canada (From Sweden)
As a Panthers fan since the beginning of the franchise, it’s been a long 30 years, some with amazing talent and promising teams to ones that were just downright awful to watch. I’ve had the pleasure to be at both Stanley Cup Finals in 1996 and 2023 and I can’t wait for this series. With that said, Florida is gonna take it all the way this year. This is our time, let’s go Cats!!!
I live in Calgary but I’m not from here. I’m from Regina. Been here for 20 years and I hope oilers win the cup. Any Canadian team wining is a good thing
Yeah but will see I have not watched the Panthers in 8 years but this is probably the best team I’ve seen in a long time because back then they were so terrible and not there good I should’ve never miss watching Hockey but here I am now 8 years later. But I think Florida has a good team like the Oilers and good luck Oilers I think this series could go probably either 6 or 7.
Did you not see what they just did to the Stars they only had like 2 pp that whole series that they scored on. Edmonton won that series with there PK and 5 on 5 play.
havent been this excited either ~ especially the almost week off to get more stoked ~ best teams best of the best ~ this is what makes this so exciting & entertaining ~ like colorado v tampa bay in 2022 ~ im a habs fan but im more of a hockey fan ~ the montreal run to the final 2021 was kind of a fluke with t pandemic & montreal won the clarence campbell bowl so thats how flukey it was ~ still fun hockey tho ~
Canucks fan here - totally rooting for Edmonton. Took me about a week to forgive them for beating us in game 7 but now I'm totally on their side. Go Oilers Go!!!
I like the late Stanley Cup finals as a student because I can watch the games without worrying about finals this year and as a rangers fan if they made it I would definitely pay to watch a game
I was saying in your last vid that I want the Oliers to win and here we are. This is gonna be a Hockey Cinema Showdown we're gonna be at the edge of our seats! That's what I want! I really feel bad that the Oilers haven't won a Stanly in a long time, but come on the Panthers don't even have one. So with that being said I want the Panthers to win! This is my first Stanley Cup as a fan as I think I casually watched it last year which was my step into the hockey world, but I'm so ready! Also what is the 'rat' thing you kept bringing up mean?
Years ago a FLA player killed a rat in the locker room area, then they went on to win......thus, the rat thing was born. BTW Detroit has the octopus, and Nashville the catfish. Hope I got my info right, but that's your quick answer.
@@pmczapczara5332 Gotcha thank you so much for the information! And Detroit has an octopus and Nashville has a catfish, is it because of a similar event?
@@mckennalynn1916 the Detroit tradition apparently goes back over 70 years when it took 8 wins to win the Stanley Cup. The Nashville catfish is much more recent, 25 years or so. Although I knew of these teams and these traditions, I wasn't absolutely certain of the details. If you Google Detroit Red wings octopus, or Nashville predators catfish, there's a Wikipedia link to a trove of information. Enjoy the finals, it should be a good series of games.
@@mckennalynn1916 I have been a fan of the game for many decades and used to play some late night rink pick up league. I have sometimes wondered how new fans pick up on the nuances of the game. From what the lines and markings on the rink mean, to what makes the sport so unique (enclosed play area with fans RIGHT there, changing of players without any stoppage of play, just to name 2) What do you like the best about the sport and is there anything that doesn't make sense to you?
This Final will be a big test of NHL's popularity in the US. Many reasons to watch the series but neither team has a particularly large following in the states.
Grew up a Flames fan so cheering for the Oilers is difficult, but I really don’t mind these days. It’d be great for a Canadian team to win it, even if it’s the Oilers (it’s not like Calgary is anywhere close these days..). That being said, I’m still a fan of Matthew Tkachuk and Bennett has been killing it. As a team, I like Florida more so I’m a bit torn. But this is probably the most win-win these finals could have been for me. Would take both these teams over the Stars or Rangers.
I'm rooting for the oilers cause Ik winning a cup would be massive for them esp Mcdavid and Leon but also I wouldn't wanna watch Florida lose back to back finals cause thats gotta be so heart breaking for a team like that but at the end of the day I'll be happy seeing either team win cause they both deserve that shot at it
Do you not live in Calgary? Everyone has been cheering for the oilers since they beat the canucks bars are fun right now and only getting better. Sidestreet and everything on 17th filled every day. Cowboys Casino had a lineup to get in just to sit down and watch the game and were playing the game in the club.

I live in Calgary but I’m not from here. I’m from Regina. Been here for 20 years and I hope oilers win the cup. Any Canadian team wining is a good thing
The greatness of McDavid will be to much. Oilers in 7.
Gretzky's first trip to finals Oilers lost 4-0
@@rt-rd5of will see. But no one thought they’d run through the stars like they did.
Edmonton only wins if they get gifted and enough power plays because there is no way that they're outscoring Florida otherwise.
They said that about the Stars too
Yeah but will see I have not watched the Panthers in 8 years but this is probably the best team I’ve seen in a long time because back then they were so terrible and not there good I should’ve never miss watching Hockey but here I am now 8 years later. But I think Florida has a good team like the Oilers and good luck Oilers I think this series could go probably either 6 or 7.
Did you not see what they just did to the Stars they only had like 2 pp that whole series that they scored on. Edmonton won that series with there PK and 5 on 5 play.
While simulateously stopping everyone of Fla. Yawn
The only thing Edmonton can do is score goals. This is going to be a high scoring series and it could possibly go 6 games.
A video about the memorial cup?
havent been this excited either ~ especially the almost week off to get more stoked ~ best teams best of the best ~ this is what makes this so exciting & entertaining ~ like colorado v tampa bay in 2022 ~ im a habs fan but im more of a hockey fan ~ the montreal run to the final 2021 was kind of a fluke with t pandemic & montreal won the clarence campbell bowl so thats how flukey it was ~ still fun hockey tho ~
Canucks fan here - totally rooting for Edmonton. Took me about a week to forgive them for beating us in game 7 but now I'm totally on their side. Go Oilers Go!!!
I like the late Stanley Cup finals as a student because I can watch the games without worrying about finals this year and as a rangers fan if they made it I would definitely pay to watch a game
I just want the cup to be in Canada
Florida is just too good right now. Panthers in 4.
This is gonna probably be a total war on the ice.
I was saying in your last vid that I want the Oliers to win and here we are. This is gonna be a Hockey Cinema Showdown we're gonna be at the edge of our seats! That's what I want! I really feel bad that the Oilers haven't won a Stanly in a long time, but come on the Panthers don't even have one. So with that being said I want the Panthers to win! This is my first Stanley Cup as a fan as I think I casually watched it last year which was my step into the hockey world, but I'm so ready! Also what is the 'rat' thing you kept bringing up mean?
Years ago a FLA player killed a rat in the locker room area, then they went on to win......thus, the rat thing was born.
BTW Detroit has the octopus, and Nashville the catfish.
Hope I got my info right, but that's your quick answer.
@@pmczapczara5332 Gotcha thank you so much for the information! And Detroit has an octopus and Nashville has a catfish, is it because of a similar event?
@@mckennalynn1916 the Detroit tradition apparently goes back over 70 years when it took 8 wins to win the Stanley Cup. The Nashville catfish is much more recent, 25 years or so.
Although I knew of these teams and these traditions, I wasn't absolutely certain of the details.
If you Google Detroit Red wings octopus, or Nashville predators catfish, there's a Wikipedia link to a trove of information.
Enjoy the finals, it should be a good series of games.
@@pmczapczara5332 Pretty cool information thank you so much! And yes this is gonna be hockey cinema we're gonna be on the edge of our seats!
@@mckennalynn1916 I have been a fan of the game for many decades and used to play some late night rink pick up league.
I have sometimes wondered how new fans pick up on the nuances of the game.
From what the lines and markings on the rink mean, to what makes the sport so unique (enclosed play area with fans RIGHT there, changing of players without any stoppage of play, just to name 2)
What do you like the best about the sport and is there anything that doesn't make sense to you?
i’m a flames fan but i’m hopeful oilers will win to bring it back to canada, it’s not that deep. lets just get it back
Turtlechuk will never get old 😂
Man, I HATE that stupid Boston Pizza commercial...
Is Boston Pizza overrated?
@@jonsvehla8085 is Boston Pizza even good? 🤪
I have it mesmerized😭
@@Mad11114 paaaaain 🤪
Funny how Calgary's incompetence created this
WE PLACED A CURSE ON OTTENGER
Its not a rat overload unless you have the rat overlord, Marchand.
What about the Stars loss and team breakdown like the Rangers video? You could talk about the old guard and new guard and so much more.
I’m predicting a bloody war
This Final will be a big test of NHL's popularity in the US. Many reasons to watch the series but neither team has a particularly large following in the states.
Grew up a Flames fan so cheering for the Oilers is difficult, but I really don’t mind these days. It’d be great for a Canadian team to win it, even if it’s the Oilers (it’s not like Calgary is anywhere close these days..).
That being said, I’m still a fan of Matthew Tkachuk and Bennett has been killing it. As a team, I like Florida more so I’m a bit torn. But this is probably the most win-win these finals could have been for me. Would take both these teams over the Stars or Rangers.
I'm rooting for the oilers cause Ik winning a cup would be massive for them esp Mcdavid and Leon but also I wouldn't wanna watch Florida lose back to back finals cause thats gotta be so heart breaking for a team like that but at the end of the day I'll be happy seeing either team win cause they both deserve that shot at it
Do you not live in Calgary? Everyone has been cheering for the oilers since they beat the canucks bars are fun right now and only getting better. Sidestreet and everything on 17th filled every day. Cowboys Casino had a lineup to get in just to sit down and watch the game and were playing the game in the club.
the cats in 5. cheers to mcjesus tho.
Probably the same person that said stars in five.
@@CheesiemccatbuttFlorida a different beast than the Stars. Stars offense tanked they scored 3 goals only in the last 3 games. Idk I don’t see Florida having the same troubles scoring goals
I say cats in 6. As a leafs fan I would love to see oilers win. But cats have better defense, depth and goaltending. And are more physical
@@WalkableBulb905 at the same time,it would be good for Canada & hockey if the men of the oil did win.
I’m a big Tarasenko fan, so we will see.
As nba fans say this is real hoops absolutely fire Stanley cup
You forgot to mention how Lou works for us. Vancouver knows that.
Hockey Fu**in RULES!!!!!
