Florida Panthers defeat the Edmonton Oilers 4-3, and are your 2024 Stanley Cup Champions!

[Superlative Soup]

Thank you Florida!

The rest of Canada can sleep like this tonight

 

[PajamaBoy]

End of the day best team won

 

[innitfam]

Why? He has shown time and time again the personal accolades don’t matter to him. He wants to win.

Tradition? Respect for the game?

 

[Kimota]

Pretty sure it's voted on in the second intermission so you couldn't really give it to anyone on Florida unless they were blowing them out. Edmonton had a chance to win still.

The PBP guy was like "don't forget to vote!". I was like WTF, it's a fan voting now?

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Kyle Okposo just made $500,000, btw.

 

[22Brad Park]

Congrats to Panthers fans.

 

[HockeyWooot]

Congrats Florida Panthers and fans! Heckuva way to win it. Hopefully will continue to grow the game.

Kudos to Maurice and his coaching team, Bill Zito and the management group. It’s pretty amazing what they’ve been able to do to this franchise that was struggling for many years and made them a championship group.

Hats off to the Edmonton Oilers and Connor McDavids Conn Smythe performance, absolutely gusty battling back from 3-0 down.

This team ain’t going anywhere so we better get used to them on deep playoff runs for the next few years.

 

[RunItBackAgain]

100% deserved Smythe by McDavid, get over it lmao

Take it, it’s as close as you’ll all get. 0 cups is 0 cups no matter how close you get.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Draisaitl one of the biggest choke jobs in NHL history?

Pretty clearly playing through an injury

 

[stephenball]

I honestly think the Panthers could be back in this spot next year.

 

[Tofveve]

Rodriguez was great

 

[PromisedLand]

Congratulations Panthers and their fans.

I wish I had played lotto I got both predictions right....

Smythe Winner: McDavid

Cup Winner: Panthers

 

[vcanuck]

oil thought game 6 was game 7.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

I even saw Patric Hornqvist out there...

He's still got a senior position with the team. He was a big part of this team getting it turned around under Zito. He definitely deserves to hoist that sucker.

 

[5 Minute Major]

OK, off-season has started. Trades are being made. Celebrations should be over.

We’re all 0-0 again.

 

[647Hockey]

Pretty cool. They just showed the cup getting hoisted by (I think) young Florida crew staff wearing grey sweatshirts. They loved it.

 

[Firsov99]

Absolutely adore Bob’s interviews. Such a mature person. Happy for him.

 

[PaulD]

Awful final minute for Edmonton. This game will haunt McDavid for the rest of his life

Oilers gonna be one of the many teams to lose one, before winning one.
Its happened to better teams than theirs.
But they'll get their cup.

 

[Waterbuf]

Pretty great game 7 ...couldn't ask for a much better ride than that.
When you feast on the PP like Edmonton it hurts you in these Game 7s where the refs put away the whistles.

 

[Hank Plank]

Is is odd that I am most happy for Maurice?

 

[Mogo]

Corey Perry curse

 

[EpochLink]

@snipes let’s get ready for the NFL season.

*handshake

 

[Space umpire]

The cup stays in a warm weather US city where it rightfully belongs.

 

[pockets321]

No, why? He carried the Oilers to the Conference Finals against Vancouver, it would have been over for them already back then if not for him. He was the front runner for the Smythe before getting injured, lol.

Lol the classic injury excuse, I guess nobody else other than Draisaitl was injured. I barely noticed him in the finals unless he was giving cheap shots.

 

[swiftwin]

Pretty clearly playing through an injury

Who isn't?
