Edmonton is absolutely buzzing as the Oilers get ready to host the Florida Panthers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final. It’s the rematch fans have been waiting for since last year’s heartbreak, and this time, the Oilers have home ice to kick things off. You can feel the energy in the city—it’s loud, it’s hopeful, and it’s long overdue.
The Panthers are back with a shot at going back-to-back, but the Oilers aren’t the same team they were in 2024. This squad is deeper, hungrier, and battle-tested. Leon Draisaitl says it best: “It’s all about finishing it.” After knocking out top contenders in each round, Edmonton is dialed in and ready to flip the script.
With Canada riding the Oilers’ playoff wave and the Ice District packed with fans hours before puck drop, this isn’t just a hockey game—it’s a moment. Tonight, the chase for the Cup starts fresh, and Edmonton’s got its eyes locked on redemption.
