We’re just a few short days away from the beginning of the 2026 Stanley Cup Final.
This year’s championship matchup features the Florida Panthers going to battle with the Edmonton Oilers.
It’s a rare rematch of last summer’s Final, and if this year’s series is anything like last year’s, hockey fans will be quite pleased when the Cup is eventually awarded.
The seven-game extravaganza saw the Panthers take a 3-0 series lead, in convincing fashion, only to get punched in the mouth by Edmonton three straight games to force the winner-take-all matchup in Sunrise.
Game 7 turned out to be an all-timer, and the fact that Florida was able to clinch their first ever Stanley Cup on home ice was something special.
Over the next few weeks, we’ll find out if this year’s series comes anywhere close to being as fun, entertaining and drama filled as the ’24 Final.
As we continue counting down to Game 1, which is set for Wednesday night at 8 p.m. from Edmonton, let’s take a trip down memory lane.
When you can spare a few minutes, check out the Stanley Cup Final mini movie below. You won’t regret it.
