A lot of people expected Oilers star Connor McDavid to finally win the Stanley Cup, especially since both Wayne Gretzky and Sidney Crosby lost their first Final but came back to win it the very next year.

McDavid felt the Oilers were going nowhere doing the same thing over and over again throughout the six-game Stanley Cup Final defeat. "I mean obviously their forecheck was great," McDavid said after the game.

The Florida Panthers are back-to-back Stanley Cup champions after a six-game victory against the Edmonton Oilers in a Stanley Cup Final considered an all-time classic. It harbored memories of a unique seven-game Final between the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs 80 years ago.
