O Edmonton Oilers held off host Vancouver Canucks in a 3-2 victory in Game 7 on Monday night, and so the conference finals field is set. The NHL’s four finalists guarantee that this year’s champion will be a team that hasn’t lifted the trophy in a generation – or ever.
The Florida Panthers are seeking their first title since joining the league, but to do so they will need to eliminate the best team in the league this season, the New York Rangers, who coincidentally last won the Cup in 1994, the season in which the Panthers joined the league. The Eastern Conference Finals will begin on Wednesday at Madison Square Garden in New York.
The Western Conference final between the Dallas Stars and Oilers will begin on Thursday at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. Of the remaining four teams, Dallas has won the Cup most recently, skating with it in 1999. Historically, Edmonton is, of course, no stranger to Lord Stanley, having won five since 1984 but none since 1990, which technically means the Oilers ‘the drought is even longer than the Panthers’.
