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

[SeanAveryTheGreatOne]

There is nothing I love more than how short-sighted the HFboards userbase is. When Florida was up 3-0, everyone was talking like the series was certainly over for Florida. When they lost game 4 8-1, everyone was talking like the series was certainly over for Edmonton (and doubled down with each victory).

I look forward to everyone talking like the outcome was never in any doubt in Florida's favor for the rest of this board's history. Amen.

Did Keith just cheer with a pint of gravy?

such a great series, congrats cats fans! thanks for the PFP by the way

McDavid no shows!

Face of the league

 

[GQS]

I wish players would skate around the whole rink together as a team with the cup and pass it around like they use to when they won.

 

[Nemesis Prime]

McDavid no points in the biggest game of them all. Bob was great in the most important game.

Not winning a Conn Smythe when you get torched for 18 goals in 4 games of the finals.

Death, taxes, and the hfboards’ server crashing…

Congrats to Florida. Edmonton shouldn’t hang their head. They resiliently fought back but losing the first 3 games was just too much to overcome as it almost always is

 

[terranraida]

Should have played mcdavid more.

it seemed he played all 3rd period, they probably should have played ol boy a little less!

I know some people are going to have an issue with McDavid's Conn Smythe win. But honestly, who else really deserves it? He basically doubled all the top Panthers in points. I know some people are saying Bob should have got it, but a .903 save percentage isn't really worthy of the trophy either.

Grats panthers

Congrats Cats!

Congracats? Concatulations?

Somebody has.to take it to the other end of the ice

Edmonton

Really happy for Paul Maurice. Dude has had a long journey that seemed like it was over after Winnipeg.

 

[BB79]

McDavid no shows!

I don't blame him, what are you going to do come out and get booed? They were booing and he wasn't even out. You play to win the cup, not personal trophies.

 

[ff8]

JS Giguere came out for his and quickly skated back for cover.

at least he deserved it

 

[Lshap]

Tkachuk gives a good interview. Well-spoken and thoughtful.

 

[Telos]

Awesome for the Cats. They deserved it. McDavid will win one when he gets out of Edmonton. LOL @ Corey Perry.

 

[Schennanigans]

Could’ve been a historical comeback. So close oil.

 

[DearDiary]

Nick Cousins got handed the cup way too early

 

[Muffin]

Does the Conn Smythe winner usually come out if they're on the losing team? Legit asking, because its so rare to happen

This was the last time it happened, I can't remember the times before that

 

[Tofveve]

Congrats Cats!

Congracats? Concatulations?

Conpantherations!

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

So now the Oilers/Panthers have all of what? A f***ing week to prepare for the start of the new season year.

What a stupid schedule especially for the Oilers who just lost. No reason hockey should be going on this kate.

Either way congrats Panthers. Canadians can't buy a cup.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Am I the only one who sorta thought maybe Brady would be shirtless, beer in hand while hanging out of a luxury box?

Can’t remember if Giguerre came out. Sort of fitting for this Panthers team to not have a Smythe winner. Maurice always stresses team over individual goals.

Barkov should have it.
