Stanley Cup Final between the Edmonton Oilers and the Florida Panthers was a highly anticipated matchup that showcased the best of professional hockey. In a thrilling game, the Oilers emerged victorious with a 3-2 edge over the Panthers, solidifying their place as champions of the 2021 season.
Both teams displayed exceptional skill and determination throughout the game, with each goal scored adding to the intensity of the match. The players demonstrated remarkable teamwork and strategic plays, making it a close and competitive final showdown.
Edmonton's superstar captain sliced through Florida's defence later in the second period for another highlight-reel assist in what has become an astounding, career-defining spring.
McDavid is the overwhelming reason why.
The dazzlingly talented centre had two goals and two assists Tuesday as Edmonton held on for a 5-3 victory that cut Florida's lead in the Stanley Cup final to 3-2.
Oilers failed to clear the puck, Matthew Tkachuk picked the top corner to pull his team within two.
The Oilers' struggling man advantage had two minutes of fresh ice and a number of looks to start the second before finally breaking through at 5-on-4 when Bouchard's blast hit Hyman in front for his playoff-leading 15th at 1:58.
McDavid then snuck his seventh under Bobrovsky — suddenly human after stopping 82-of-86 shots through the first three games — from a sharp angle at the five-minute mark for a 3-1 lead.
Tkachuk got Florida on the board 1:53 later when he fired his sixth, and first since May 22, upstairs.
A group that rebounded after starting the season 2-9-1, came back from three deficits against the Vancouver Canucks in the second round of the playoffs, and fell behind the Dallas Stars 2-1 in the Western Conference final, the Oilers now sit just two wins from improbable glory. 
"It's been a fun ride," McDavid said. "It's going to go one more day … all we've earned here is another day. 
Overall, this Stanley Cup Final was a thrilling display of athleticism and sportsmanship that will be remembered for years to come. Both teams should be commended for their outstanding performances, but it was ultimately the Edmonton Oilers who emerged as champions in this exciting matchup.
