GAME NIGHT: Panthers Are BETTER Than 2024 Cup Champs, BUT Oilers Have THIS Advantage In 2025 Final!

GAME NIGHT: Panthers Are BETTER Than 2024 Cup Champs, BUT Oilers Have THIS Advantage In 2025 Final!

The 2025 Stanley Cup Final is a highly anticipated rematch between the Florida Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers, and while it's expected to be a tight series, the Edmonton Oilers are generally considered to have a slight edge, though the margins are razor-thin.

Here's why:

  • Momentum and Revenge Factor: The Oilers are on a mission after last year's heartbreaking Game 7 loss to the Panthers, where they squandered a 3-0 series lead. They've played exceptionally well since early in the first round and are clearly motivated by the desire for redemption. This mental edge and collective drive can be a powerful force.
  • Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl: While the Panthers have elite defensive forwards to try and contain them, McDavid and Draisaitl are in peak form and are arguably the two best players in the world. Their ability to take over games offensively, especially on the power play, is unparalleled. This year, Draisaitl is also less injured than he was in the 2024 Final, allowing the Oilers to potentially deploy him on a separate line from McDavid, creating more offensive threats.
  • Improved Depth: The Oilers have made significant strides in their depth scoring this season, acquiring players like Adam Henrique and Corey Perry who have contributed timely goals. This lessens the burden on their top stars and makes them a more complete offensive team.
  • Stuart Skinner's Confidence: Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner has significantly elevated his play in the latter half of these playoffs. If he can maintain that high level of consistency, he gives the Oilers a strong backbone.
  • Home Ice Advantage: Unlike last year, the Oilers hold home-ice advantage in this series, which could be crucial in a tight, potentially seven-game affair. Their home record in the playoffs has been formidable.

However, the Florida Panthers are still a formidable opponent and many analysts are predicting a very close series. Their physical style, strong defensive structure, excellent goaltending from Sergei Bobrovsky, and balanced offensive attack make them incredibly tough to beat. Their experience as defending champions also gives them a mental edge, as they know what it takes to win it all.

Ultimately, it's a battle of inches, and special teams, goaltending, and depth contributions will likely decide which team lifts the Stanley Cup.

The New York Rangers settle the score on the ice with the Washington Capitals while their President and GM get fired off it.

We knew there would be retribution, but did we think there would be 100 penalty minutes in the first period alone between the Rangers and Capitals. New York took matters into their own hands as the teams threw down multiple times in the opening minutes of the game including right at the opening faceoff. Meanwhile, James Dolan made his next infamous move in his tenure as owner in firing the duo of John Davidson and Jeff Gorton leaving the hockey world bewildered.
