The Official 2026 Stanley Cup Finals Discussion Thread

[Doom]

Love them or hate them, Congratulations to the Florida Panthers for finally winning their first championship!

I was surprised that I watched it in its entirety though I had to get some rest for work in the morning. It's been fun watching it with y'all. Thank you.

Also, while I am not an oilers fan and was excited for the cup back in canada - nothing to be ashamed of and now they know they have what it takes to get to the dance. McDavid will have a cup one day I have no doubt

Also to anyone who wanted to see Florida win to "Stick it to Leafs fans" for no fucking reason. Ya'll are stupid... Like yeah, it'd have been nice to see a Canadian team (and McDavid) win, but most don't care! It isn't our fucking team! And there are former Leafs in both organizations we'd love to see win, or people due for a cup! I get it, we're the Dallas Cowboys of hockey. Large passionate fan base who borders on the annoying and insufferable at best, and they get a crap ton of exposure! But the obsession with "We want to see these guys SUFFER" in every minor scenario even when we're not involved is fucking stupid. We don't need to rent your head for free.

I was rooting for Panthers for a few reasons:
1. Luongo and Paul Maurice, I'm so happy both got their cups also Okposo tbh
2. There's a lot of Oilers fans in BC and I work with a lot of annoying ones and us Canucks fans would never hear the end of it
3. My sister and her family are Oilers fans and I hate them all

Oilers played great and McDavid absolutely deserved to win the Conn Smythe unanimously, fuck Ryan Clark.

Fuck Luongo....his shit contract kept the Canucks stuck in salary cap purgatory even after he retired.

The SO-Cal teams with new looks. BOTH are big Dubbs.

LA's is perfect. Anaheim only thing I'd change is making the pants black and then the home hemlet also black to add some colour balance. Otherwise, great

Big time Mighty Ducks fan as some people know so I'm happy they went back to a Classic logo with their Colors of today. Still the only Hockey Jersey I would wear outside of the Flyers because of how much I love the Mighty Ducks growing up.

Yeah. I also can understand why people would have wanted the old colours, but I get going with Orange for Orange County and sort of celebrating both eras of the team and picking the bold eye catching look. I rate it an 8.5/10
