Dallas played one helluva game, just fell short. The Oil not so much, but they got just enough goals and goaltending to prevail. Have been pulling for the Oil in the West; I want to see the best player in the world play for the Cup. Moving to see McDavid celebrate.
Conversely, feel bad for Dallas, always so close. They have such a deep team, draft exceptionally well given that they draft later in the rounds.
Couldn't have gone wrong with either.

if you want to know something about Canada outside of Ontario there is lots of anti Ontario and anti Toronto sentiment in general not just hockey. In Ontario or toronto there’s no such thing. It’s sort of big brother little brother type stuff.
This transcends hockey but reflects in that too probably. Most Leaf fans generally will cheer for the remaining Canadian team after the leafs are eliminated. Not on hfboards though bc the fans here are more hard core. I’m a Leafs fan and cheering for the oilers even though they played the worst game ever to clinch the finals. Most fans ik in real life are either not watching or doing the same thing.

Welcome brother!This is my Donald trump inaguration meltdown moment. I’m just throwing up mentally rn. Our provincial rivals will have bragging rights for a decade to come, and I gotta watch former flame Matthew tkachuk (I can cheer for Bennett so that doesn’t upset me) who took his talents to Miami play in the SCF 2 yrs in a row.
Go Edmonton…
Canadians really love their hockey team. Hockey is everything to Canadians.

No kidding, I'd be just as stoked.
Good for Oiler fans that have been waiting for this team to finally breakthrough.
Times were dark in the first two months. I'm sure playoffs were a distant dream let alone a SCF team.

Elliote says 18 years isn’t that long between Cup finals.
I mean it is if you aren’t a Leaf fan. Which he is.

Hate the Oilers with all of my being but they’re getting it done. Have all of the pieces to win 2 or 3 cups in the course of this core’s shelf life. Don’t need an elite goalie to do it. If Skinner can keep being Corey Crawford for them, they’re going to win.

I read your post the other night about why you dislike Edmonton.
Oh and about "luck out" Edmonton didn't change the draft rules.
Maybe if the NHL hadn't have changed them, the Coyotes would still be in AZ.
Talking about getting lucky, damn, your team Vegas certainly had it tough, right?
and then going to Gary whining about how Ottawa should be penalized for the aborted trade (which initially the league said was closed) the Sens wouldn't have to lose a first round pick.

Stars pp impotent, their stars impotent. Oilers pp on fire, superstars firing on all cylinders. Hard to stop that.
Not even remotely comparable. It may have been an uneven trade but Florida still had to pay something for it. McDavid was fourth in a pillaging of four first overall picks in a half decade. They (and New Jersey) are the reason they changed the rules to prevent excessive repeat lottery winners.
In any case, I always root for teams that have never won unless I hate them (San Jose). If both teams have been winners, I typically root for the team that has waited longer for another cup. So even if I didn't have negative feelings towards the Oilers, I'd still be rooting for the Panthers.

He's a very good player!
Not a comparable to Makar, which is not me saying anything bad about him.
He's a 24 year old professional athlete, you have a minute left in an elimination game and you coast back? You're not seeing a Makar, Doughty, or a Fox play like that regardless of how much they played.

Dont overreact to 1 game. Oilers were outshooting their opponents in the majority of their games. This just was 1 off game even though its the most recent one. Its not like this has been their pattern.
