First time in their 30-year history. They were up 3 games to none. The Oilers made it 3-3.
Game 7 in Sunrise, Florida, went the Panthers’ way, 2-1.

… And the Volunteers are NCAA College World Series Champions!
I was rooting for A&M
Over 30 years since a Canadian team has won the Stanley Cup. Congrats to the Panthers.
I went to a fight the other night and an WNBA game broke out. lol
I’m glad an American team won. Hell with those Canucks!
There were 5 Americans on the entire Panthers roster. Only 1 more than the Oilers.
lol
BFH, I know, I’m splitting hairs here. For personal reasons I’m pissed off at Canucks right now. I’m still glad Americanski won!
As The Who said, The Kids Are All White…
We were rooting for the Oilers.
It’d be nice if Connor McDavid won a Stanley Cup during his career.
None of “my” teams got very far in the playoffs.
Ah well, next year?!? 🥶
And the Seattle Kraken aren’t my team. Too woke. The tickets are too expensive. Too many soccer fans in the arena. The downtown is nasty.
Ya want to go see your favorite team play?
Go see them play against the Las Vegas Golden Knights and make a weekend of it. 👍
@Illustrator
I consider both the Seattle and Las Vegas team names are atrocious. I guess Kraken is a type of monster. I thought something like Seattle SeaWolves or SeaDogs would be good, to sort of coincide with the Seahawks. As for LV, the Las Vegas Knights would have been better, and they could have kept their logo design.
Saying Vegas Golden Knights is like saying York Yankees or Angeles Dodgers.
The Seattle Supersonics was a great team name, but they abandoned it all for the Oklahoma Whatchamacallits. Dumb.
@TimBuktu
I actually like the Kraken name. Think back to that old movie, “Clash of the Titans” with Harry Hamlin. “ Release the Kraken!!!”
Had they gone with something like the Seattle Sockeye or any other fish or tree name…ugh. No.
The Seattle Flannel was my pick. 😉
The NHL door swung open a few decades ago and now there are lots of Russians, Czechs, Finns, and Swedes and other Uros in the game, as well as lots of US born players.
There is a funny story about one of the first Russians to come over to play in the NHL, for the Vancouver team. He was a star in Russia but when he arrived in the Vancouver training camp he was way overweight and out of shape. His first name was Vlad so the fans started calling him “Vlad The Inhaler”. I don’t think he lasted very long.
What if there was future player from New Guinea? They’d have to draft a bunch of new penalties like: 5 minutes for Biting an opponent and for headhunting, a game misconduct.
@Illustrator
How about Seattle Smelt or Seattle Fightin’ Shrimp.
It could be worse the Seattle team could be called the Seattle Grunge.
Why does this remind me of the Britney story?
Oh, that’s right … both stories are a waste of time.
Boo
great hockey all the way through the post season. Congratulations to Florida and thanks to Edmonton for making a series of it. Maybe I’ll watch Slapshot tonight
Why isn’t there a Women’s Hockey League?
Probably because nobody would give a shit…?
Jamacain Hockey iz where itz at!
After all, lookit their Bobsled team… smokin!
@Irate – The PWHL is a professional womens hockey league.
The MN team is by far the best team on that league. Unfortunately the Wild suck, as MN is supposedly “The State of Hockey”…
@Irate Nate. it’s because to play hockey the women would have to wear the same pads for three ‘periods’ … I don’t think anybody could stand the smell 😉. ok, sorry, that was gross 🤢
Back in the 1970’s Nat’l Lampoon did a funny about black guys playing in the NHL. They were shown wearing ghetto hats, beads around the neck, big afros, and dressed in basketball uniforms.
They called it “Honkey”.
I think I seriously watched hockey for one game fifty years ago when Boston was playing for the Stanley Cup. Boston wins the whole thing for the first time in a dog’s age when Bobby Orr scores an OT goal and then he raises his arms and hockey stick in exultation as he is flying parallel to the ice. And I thought, “What a great moment that was”
Forty years later, I’m sightseeing Boston Gardens and there’s a statue of that very moment
@Marooned
What would be good for you is a video of Britney getting her gear on for an ice hockey game.
Can I wear roller skates? I may slip on ice skates.
A jock strap? OK, I guess I need one.
I don’t want to wear a helmet – it’ll mess up my hairdo.
Can I re-apply make-up between periods?
I don’t like this face-off deal – I don’t wanna lose my face.
If I put that black round thingy in the other team’s basket, I have to go sit in the penalty box, right?
If the other girls wear helmets, how do I grab and pull their hair if I get into a fight?
Hey, I’m going to see if I can spot Jack Nicholson in the stands.
Why is the black round thingy so small…I’ll have to wear my reading glasses to see it.
Jim Murray (dec.) was an LA Times sportswriter. Like most other Socal sportswriters he did not take kindly to hockey invading an area dominated by baseball, football, and basketball. It was not part of their upbringing.
He always complained he could never see the puck go in the net. Of course not, he was about as blind as a cave fish.
