Way to get it done Cats! Just smothered the Oilers when it mattered most. Nicely done.

Congratulations from a decades-long Lightning fan. It couldn’t have happened to a better team, except for Tampa Bay of course 😉

Stanley likes the state of Florida.

Edmonton what would have been its first Cup since 2006

Terrible job by the CBS AI sports beat reporter. Edmonton LOST the Stanley Cup final in 2006. The last Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup was the Montreal Canadiens in 1993!

“Florida team with Man wins Stanley Cup.”

Awesome comeback by the Oil falls short. Congrats to the Panthers. 🏒

Let no one forget that the National Hockey League knelt in solidarity with Communist organizations such as Black Lives Matter^TM. Good riddance. May they disappear into the dustbin of history.

Also congrats to the Tennessee Volunteers for winning the College World Series.

[BEJ]

And then you have the Toronto Maple Leafs that last won it in 1967. A little under a 60-year wait.

[Texas resident]

If you look at the box score that game couldn’t have been closer.
Tenn: 6-13-1
A&M: 5-13-1

Hell of a series and I am an A&M fan.

Congrats to the real UT.

Strange series. Bobrovsky became ordinary for the 3 games Edmonton won, though that was partly on his teammates for hanging him out to dry. Then he was suddenly elite again. Meanwhile McDavid played like the greatest player in the world for a couple of games, then was a non-factor in the last two.

Just a heads up-

so has 90% of industry/institution yet only us sport’s fans are the ones reminded.

Plenty of us are sport’s fans.

Congratulations, Florida panthers 🐆.

How do these people get jobs reporting anything? They always get something wrong.

The last time the Oilers won the Cup was in 1990 (with Messier and others following the 1988 Gretzky trade).

[OttawaFreeper]

The longest droughts in the NHL are:
1967-Toronto Maple Leafs (last Cup before modern expansion)
1970-Buffalo Sabres (finals series appearances in 1975 & 1999)
1970-Vancouver Canucks (finals series appearances in 1982,
1994, and 2011).
1975-Philadelphia Flyers (also appeared in 1976, 1980, 1985,
1987, 1997, & 2010 finals).
1979-Winnipeg Jets/Phoenix Coyotes/Utah Hockey Club (has not appeared beyond 2nd round of NHL playoffs).

NBA—1951-Rochester/Cincinnati Royals/Kansas City/Sacramento Kings
1958-St. Louis/Atlanta Hawks
1968-Phoenix Suns (has never won a championship)
1970-Buffalo Braves/San Diego/Los Angeles Clippers (has never won a championship)_

So true. I watched games 4 and 5 and I could not believe that Panther's D was nowhere to be found. I'm glad they let Bobo stay in net for game 7, and he proved himself.

Us Floridians like having the Cup, between the Lightning and Panthers, we're good!

[Hot Tabasco]

There’s something wrong about a city that never has winters winning the Stanley Cup.....

[Daveinyork]

A Florida team wins a championship played on ice. Now they can hold a dog sled race in Miami.
