Last year, the Florida Panthers needed the full seven games to win the final series in the NHL against the Edmonton Oilers. This time it was less enough. The clear 5: 1 (2: 0, 1: 0, 2: 1) In the night of Wednesday was the fourth victory of the Panthers, who won the best-of-Seven series around the Stanley Cup 4-2.
The Oilers around Leon Draisaitl could only win the first and fourth game. Some of the other games went well to Florida. So also the sixth, which Sam Reinhart in particular put on his stamp with four goals. Matthew Tkakchuk also met for Florida.
Overall, the Panthers were also the much better team. The master put the Oilers under constant pressure and hardly ever allowed a dangerous offensive action. In the end, the Canadians only managed the honor goal to 1: 5 by Vasili Podkolzin four minutes before the end.
Canada and waiting for a long time
Kanada has been waiting since 1993 that once again a team with the maple leaf wins the Stanley Cup. 32 years ago, these were the Montreal Canadiens.
