Sometimes, the best teams don’t always win a series. Sometimes, the best teams don’t go the distance. The Stanley Cup playoffs can be cruel in that way — skill and will aren’t always enough.
It’s a treat in the parity era to see the true best of the East and West meet in the Final. It feels like we got that this year with a matchup between Florida and Edmonton — one that is literally too close to call.
There’s not much separating the Panthers and Oilers, and that should make this Stanley Cup Final an all-time classic.

- When: 8 p.m. ET Saturday
