The Florida Panthers hold a 2-0 lead in the Stanley Cup Finals, two wins away from the franchises first Stanley Cup after losing last year to the Vegas Golden Knights and in 1996 to the Colorado Avalanche.
The Edmonton Oilers are looking for their first cup since 1990, and are in their first Finals since 2006. Coming home Edmonton should be feeling better; they know the rink, they have their own beds, the arena will be jammed full of Oilers fans, but I want them to know, with all of my heart, I hope for them to fail.
Send Stanley to the south where he belongs!

The Trois-Rivieres Lions will be hosting a mystery press conference tomorrow.
Si j’avais à parier, et ce n’est pas basé sur une information, mais avec Jean-François Houle qui sera sur place, j’ai l’impression que ça concerne l’affiliation. Le propriétaire Jeff Dickerson sera également présent, peut-on lire dans la convocation. https://t.co/8gS5IfTVH5

Reporter Matthew Vachon has thoughts this could be about affiliation next season. Maybe the Leafs are sharing with the Canadiens?
Bruce Boudreau and Gino Reda discussed how the Oilers could make a comeback. Hopefully they're wrong.
It's day two of a two day break in the Finals schedule so we're running light on things.
One last note though, the PWHL Awards were handed out and Toronto's injured Natalie Spooner was named league MVP.
It's well deserved and her impact was very clear in the playoffs, especially when she was missing.
Spooner was also named to the first all-start team and won forward of the year. Kristen Campbell was named best goaltender, and Troy Ryan won the coach award. Spooner was also recognized for the points and goals lead.
Enjoy your day everyone!
