@@mikepurdue7472the refs called every game in the finals in favor of Edmonton, what exactly is Bettman preventing? The league was shilling out for a Canadian team the entire western conference finals, the reason Canadian teams suck is because they’re ass destinations. FAs don’t want to go there, or they want out. Look at what happened to Calgary. Same thing happens with Buffalo, Columbus, Islanders, etc. Modern players care more about where they live than players did in the 80s

I am so glad that Paul Maurice won a Cup finally. He deserves it. I’m glad that Barkov, Tkachuck, Bobrovsky and anyone else I missed won a Cup finally. They all were deserving of it.
Any team would have been the better team, last night. How do you dominate 3 games in a row and then revert to that pathetic game 1 thru 3 mode, in the biggest game you ever played?! Pathetic
@@pats5375think it was a mentality thing. Florida had the luxury to second guess themselves and make mistakes until game 7 they had to completely lock in, in a winner-takes-all game (which this team is traditionally good at doing). The oilers, however, were now the more pressured team, no longer the underdog, won 3 straight and most expected them to win again. It’s hard to get over that final mental hurdle to win the 4th game, and the 4th game is always the hardest, which is why reverse sweeps are so rare across all sports.
@@lizlum8850what happened to McDavid, zero points in last 2 games. Why? Draisiatl, where was he in this round? Why? Last night someone branded a horseshoe up every rats asss. A gift.
Bobrovsky had another brilliant game. Barky said he was the best player over the years and deserved to get handed the Cup second. So glad Bob got his Cup.
Definitely the greatest Stanley Cup series since 2011. Panthers and the fans deserved it and what a great game 7. Panthers have been arguably the best team the past 3 years if you taken into their achievements. I do feel bad for McDavid and Leon but they will get theirs soon enough.
As a knights fan I tip my cap to the panthers. I wish we had a rematch but atleast you guys took care of business after what happened last year. Good redemption arc.
It’s funny now cause as a cats fan the resentment towards the knights feels totally gone now because you guys were just necessary character development for us
As a sabres fan, I was never a big fan of the panthers, but after realizing so many former players from the sabres are on the panthers, I had to root for them. Reinhart and Okposo especially were some of my favorite players from the sabres, and it feels so good to see them win a cup.
Thank you for this season! Love watching your updates. Set the alarm at 2 am to watch the game in Sweden. So happy for Forsling, Ekman-Larsson and Stenlund! And of course for our neighbour, Barkov, as well as the rest of the team. So many colorful players in the Panthers. After the Rangers (especially Mika), the Panthers is my favourite team. I hope you´ll have a great summer!
Thanks so much for one last one! You did yourself proud with that Maurice Moment and those Highlights to include the kid behind the bench. As a Calgary Fan I have to give Chucky Props for thinking of us! Enjoy your summer, less than 3 months till we begin again!
I feel the same way your other viewers do about Paul Maurice. But I wanted to say thank you to you for the interesting hockey commentary you've given us all season. But I also want to say that I love hockey fans. It's one of the reasons I watch the sites I do. The comments after this final have been classier than in any other sport. A respect for both teams and a love for the game. I really love the funny comments too. I already can't wait for October. Have a great summer everybody.
I needed to go radiosilence with the best UA-cam NHL creators like you for the finals. Just too stressful. Im so glad that Panthers won it that I shed some tears when I heard the news. After last years run it felt like "if they make it, its gonna be awesome" and it was. Kudos to Edmonton for bringing the fight and dodging the swept with very dramatic results. To you personally Next Man Up: you made NHL one bit more interesting and has been very enjoyable to watch your videos during the season. All the best to you and I hope you have a great summer.
I'm more fuckin' happy for Maurice than anybody else tbh - Dude was always taking shit for being a subpar coach, or washed up, or just never had the right stuff. Well, clearly that shit doesn't matter anymore, he got to hoist the damn cup.
He almost fucked it up though by playing safe and not having his team ready for games 4-5! Playing safe is death, I have a feeling Zito took POMO to the wood shed before game 6 or 7…. Said Panthers fan
We’re so blessed to have not only a coach, but a man of class that has led our team to victory. Maurice going down in history as a Florida and NHL legend. LETS GO PANTHERS!!!

I was 7 years old when I went to my first Panthers game, in 1993. Loved the Panthers every since, went to many a game as a kid until we moved to Pennsylvania. 30 damn years and we are finally Stanley Cup Champions. Man it feels so good and I don't think there is another group of guys that deserve it more. Officer Bob should have been awarded the Conn Smythe though, sensational season for him. Let's Go Panthers!!
As an oilers fan, this game was brutal, but as annoying as it is, the panthers were such a good team and played so well. So good job to them, they deserved it even if it pains me to say it.
As a huge Anaheim Ducks fan, watching the Panthers play how they did this season and during the Stanley Cup Playoffs was nothing short of amazing. When Conner won the Conn Smyth Trophy, it reminded me of JS Gigiuere in 2003. Seeing teams outside the normal NHL market winning the cup is always a great thing for the sport. Congrats to all Panthers and Oilers fans for an amazing Playoff run!

@Ape-shapedCarbon easy for you to say especially since you have no idea what emotions & other factors he is dealing with 24/7 & 365 days a year for the last 9 years. Walk a mile in his shoes bud before you pass judgement. It's obvious that you & I weren't willing to put in the time & effort and other sacrifices he made to get into that position.

*As a VGK, if VGK was out, I wanted the Panthers to win. I wouldn't mind seeing the Rangers win, only because I'd love to see Quick get another SC by being traded again but, I am so happy the Panthers were able to pull it off. The last 3 minutes were nuts.*
Great final, gotta hand it to Edmonton they damn near pulled off a miracle and Micdavid nearly did it himself. One of the best SCF finals I've seen in years.
Only thing that sucked for me as a hockey fan last night was how ABC kept panning away from the handshake line to other people or families in the crowd. Did a terrible job showing the whole thing. In years past handshake line was on screen longer.
Yep that's Disney for ya it's always been ALL about the hoo ray is US 🇺🇸 rah rah self promotion nationalistic pride that they live & breathe & have been born into & brainwashed with since childhood. It seems like for SOME of them that Sportsmanship isn't high on of their list of priorities never has been and winning is everything & hey look at us ain't we great. Ok they are yet they lose allies & friends in the process. Being #1 in Alienating friends & allies is nothing to proud of imo & it might come back to haunt them some day. For example Saudi Arabia pulling support for their propped up petrol dollar.😢
The UFC calls their fight recaps "The Thrill and the Agony." As great as the UFC is, I don't think that phrase fits any sport more perfectly than hockey and the quest for the cup. A grueling, multi-month, potentially 20+ game crucible where every single night will grind all but the strongest into the dust, only to culminate in the height of joy and, for the loser, the bitterest defeat. I can't imagine the feeling of knowing that you've given every single ounce of will you had and it wasn't enough, and that it's quite possible that you will never, ever be in the position to redeem that failure. Hockey is a beautiful sport, and we should all be grateful that we have the privilege of witnessing series like the ones this last post-season gave us.
3 years in a row losing the cup champions. I guess it's progress for the Oilers, but it stinks being a fan. Paul Maurice is a great coach Glad to see him win, despite at the expense of the Oilers.
@@TheMagn1ficoapparently, McDavid had some sort of abdominal injury that will require surgery, and Draisaitl was playing through a broken rib and finger.
Possible & I'll bet Florida will have a player or 2 having surgery or rehab this summer as well, they did last summer. It's the price these athletes have to pay to play at this level & at this time in the season.
32 Excuses . . . 1. Jennifer didn't text me good luck before the game. 2. Draisatl had an ouchie. 3. Fuhr wasn't available. 4. There were no empty nets to shoot at. 5. Marek and Friedman raved so much about me, they made me nervous. 6. My personality transplant surgery was delayed, created extreme emotional stress. 7. I was in front of the net for the final 10 seconds, but the puck was in the corner. 8. Ekblad and Forsling refused to cooperate. 9. The refs called the game by the rulebook, expected more help. 10. Janmark didn't carry me, scored only one goal. 11. Was told Knight would be in goal, wasn't prepared for Bob. 12. Jennifer didn't text me good luck after the first period. 13. Tkachuk looked mean at me, hurt my feelings 14. McLeod let me down. 15 Ryan left me down. 16. Foegele really let me down. 17. Kulak really, really let me down. 18. Spent way too much time at The Cleveland the night before . . . 19. Then the ghost of the Great One haunted me when I got back to the hotel, couldn't sleep. 20. Hey, I knew Bettman would gift me the Conn Smythe no matter what, so I didn't need another dumb trophy. 21. Forgot to take my daily testosterone pills. 22. Physical contact was allowed in Game 7. Who knew? 23. Where the hell was Hyman, anyway? 24. Coach Knoblauch didn't kiss my ass enough. 25. Didn't know where I was -- too many Oilers fans in the building. 26. Nurse skated in mush, contract too heavy. 27. Some people are scared of the dark. I'm afraid of big moments. 28. Perry didn't do something incredibly stupid, shocked the heck out of me. 29. Maurice wouldn't put out his fourth line against mine. 30. Kane wasn't physically able. 31. Jennifer didn't text me good luck after the second period. 32. Is it possible that I'm not as good as most fans and media think I am?

По сути кубок прежде всего заслуга Морриса, у него в команде только 1 суперталант и это его кипер а все остальные крепкие выше среднего игроки и сколотил такую крепкую команду, финал был с Рейнжерами и тут они спокойно могли в 4-0 обыграт команду МакДэвида, просто дана команда нетрогать его и он потпщил свою команду вперед, ну а в 7 матче ребята включилис и нет его на площадке, по сути они сорвали проект супер великого хоккеиста, царь то оказался липовый, а Пантеры настоящая сплоченная команда, а Макбургеру второго финала не видат до заката карьеры, подыщите другого кто бы мог затмит Овечкина, Мэтьюс нет непотянет, Бедард да он цыпленок который настоящего мужского хоккея даже не нюхал.
No-one watches NHL! World hockey championships drew 478 million tv watchers in whole world in 2024(without Russia!) Finland 2,4 million tv watchers in 2019 2022 world finals and Juniors under 20 years old world championships final Finland vs Russia drew 2,4 million tv in 2016!
Sweden had 2,3 million tv watchers in 2018 world championships final in 2018! CzechRepulic had 4,3 million in 2024 world final! Russia had 50 million tv watchers in 2012 2014 worlds finals! The Hard truth is that world championship hockey is 10-15 times bigger tv ratings than NHL play-offs!!
After we took a 3-0 lead, all I could think was “don’t fuck this up”. My gut told me this group wouldn’t, this group was different, but it’s human nature. Even as we dropped 4, 5, 6. And I was prepared to face the worst moment of my life so far. My gut still told me we wouldn’t lose 4 in a row. And I still can’t believe we did it. I’ve been grinning ear to all day today.
Oilers fans should be livid, how could you have the reincarnation of gretzky, and this was his only time competing for a cup and they all failed hard? He should be leading another oiler dynasty but the oilers never do anything. 😂😂
Disagree with the Maurice interview, and being happy for him. I don't care if he was joking or not, dropping your own name is equivalent to speaking of yourself in the third-person. Besides this, his lunatic ranting and temper-tantrum-throwing is a disorder that should be addressed by therapy. Long, long years of therapy. Al Arbour and Tom Landry roll in their graves every time infants like Maurice show their asses. And to do it in public is even more disgraceful. And no, this behavior is not justified as a means of player motivation. People with obscenely bloated multimillion-dollar contracts already have all the motivation they need. If not, then kick them TF out of the sport.
The NHL script was written for the Panthers to win the Cup, McDavid gets the ConnSmythe as a Connselation prize. It wasn’t that long ago hockey in south Florida was dead af. Attendance was about 4000 per game, wow what a remarkable turnaround (lol). The general public will consume whatever is placed before them without a second thought .
Thank you all for all the support all season, it has been a blast. Enjoy the summer and see you next season!!

It seems like for SOME of them that Sportsmanship isn't high on of their list of priorities never has been and winning is everything & hey look at us ain't we great. Ok they are yet they lose allies & friends in the process. Being #1 in Alienating friends & allies is nothing to proud of imo & it might come back to haunt them some day. For example Saudi Arabia pulling support for their propped up petrol dollar.😢
as an oilers fan, im still depressed
Now I have to wait a whole 4 months before the season starts and we get get NMU vids
PoMo deserved that Cup. Great coach. If only the Jets had played as hard as the Cats did.
Just one more first over all and Edmontons in, baby!
GO CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATSSSS ! Greatings from Sunrise !!!!!!!
The UFC calls their fight recaps "The Thrill and the Agony." As great as the UFC is, I don't think that phrase fits any sport more perfectly than hockey and the quest for the cup. A grueling, multi-month, potentially 20+ game crucible where every single night will grind all but the strongest into the dust, only to culminate in the height of joy and, for the loser, the bitterest defeat. I can't imagine the feeling of knowing that you've given every single ounce of will you had and it wasn't enough, and that it's quite possible that you will never, ever be in the position to redeem that failure.
Hockey is a beautiful sport, and we should all be grateful that we have the privilege of witnessing series like the ones this last post-season gave us.
we were right there 🥲🥲
Greatest finals since the Mets winning the 1986 World Series. The lil bro always gets a chance.
Go, Cats!!!
Bummed about the Fanatics deal, at least they kept the same factory 🥴
3 years in a row losing the cup champions. I guess it's progress for the Oilers, but it stinks being a fan. Paul Maurice is a great coach
Glad to see him win, despite at the expense of the Oilers.
For sure!
As an Oilers fan, all I feel is pain
Fla went up 3-0 and needed all 7 games twice during this run. Just incredible
Just found out what dri and mcdavid were playing through. If you think about it, its crazy
What is it? Could not find it myself
@@TheMagn1ficoapparently, McDavid had some sort of abdominal injury that will require surgery, and Draisaitl was playing through a broken rib and finger.
@@dylanhope3252thanks!
That's indeed tough
Possible & I'll bet Florida will have a player or 2 having surgery or rehab this summer as well, they did last summer. It's the price these athletes have to pay to play at this level & at this time in the season.
summer started like two days ago?
Johnny hockey
fun fact, summer started last week.
Bobrovsky
great series by both.
Somebody own the Chiefs! We go to Florida. And I get the money!
The Stanley Cup has gone to many teams. Montreal,Toronto,Detroit,and Washington. Now Florida. LETS GO CATS😼😼😼😼😼😼
What aboiut 2009 finals pens vs detroit
Was so cool seeing Mcdavid choke in the biggest game of his career
dream come true🐀
Actually like seriously why do every nhl videos have a comment section with essays

32. Is it possible that I'm not as good as most fans and media think I am?
you spent too much time on this man... holy shit.
@@fishininjun Dude, this took me 20 minutes. And I had a lot more. McDavid never runs out of excuses.
So let's see your either a unemployed or bored individual with too much time on your hands who is a fan of Elliot Friedman's 32 thoughts broadcast/podcast who decided to write your own version after a few hits on the bong or multiple shots or you're a recent escapee from the pysche ward 😂
@@jonbenjisnomore7935 Just a truth-teller who says what a lot of people think but don't have the balls to say.
@@RayManzarekRocks so you're a open Door & Trump wannabe. Ok. Got it. Opinionated is another term people might use. Hey all kidding aside being a straight shooter who calls it the way they see it isn't always right you know? You can be wrong. Remember Don Cherry was he always right? Is Trump? People are going to have different viewpoints and perspectives. Only true TRUTH teller who was perfect they/we crucified. Sounds like you either thought about & made up or spit up your big balls aka spit balled some of your 32 opinions. Ok. I can either look & listen or leave it. Please don't call it truth or facts though they're your thoughts aka opinions. Btw you're judging a guy who didn't make any excuses. You're a bs fantasy spinner.
Hi there
👍👍👍
I wish Edmonton won
It will happen one day.
Wishes don’t win you championships
@@thesweatydad1smart ass non funny comments like yours don’t either.
По сути кубок прежде всего заслуга Морриса, у него в команде только 1 суперталант и это его кипер а все остальные крепкие выше среднего игроки и сколотил такую крепкую команду, финал был с Рейнжерами и тут они спокойно могли в 4-0 обыграт команду МакДэвида, просто дана команда нетрогать его и он потпщил свою команду вперед, ну а в 7 матче ребята включилис и нет его на площадке, по сути они сорвали проект супер великого хоккеиста, царь то оказался липовый, а Пантеры настоящая сплоченная команда, а Макбургеру второго финала не видат до заката карьеры, подыщите другого кто бы мог затмит Овечкина, Мэтьюс нет непотянет, Бедард да он цыпленок который настоящего мужского хоккея даже не нюхал.
Hated how Paul dissed the Oilers not a mention. Winnipeg,,, really?
Watch more hockey.
No-one watches NHL! World hockey championships drew 478 million tv watchers in whole world in 2024(without Russia!) Finland 2,4 million tv watchers in 2019 2022 world finals and Juniors under 20 years old world championships final Finland vs Russia drew 2,4 million tv in 2016!
Sweden had 2,3 million tv watchers in 2018 world championships final in 2018! CzechRepulic had 4,3 million in 2024 world final! Russia had 50 million tv watchers in 2012 2014 worlds finals! The Hard truth is that world championship hockey is 10-15 times bigger tv ratings than NHL play-offs!!
After we took a 3-0 lead, all I could think was “don’t fuck this up”. My gut told me this group wouldn’t, this group was different, but it’s human nature. Even as we dropped 4, 5, 6. And I was prepared to face the worst moment of my life so far. My gut still told me we wouldn’t lose 4 in a row. And I still can’t believe we did it. I’ve been grinning ear to all day today.
Rip oilers
Hahahaha
Corey Perry is cursed.
I know the kid
Not really I've seen better cup finals heck 2022 was better then this one.
Oilers fans should be livid, how could you have the reincarnation of gretzky, and this was his only time competing for a cup and they all failed hard? He should be leading another oiler dynasty but the oilers never do anything. 😂😂
I mean come on man ... losing in a game 7 by one goal isn't "failing hard"
@borrow4654 did you miss the part about it being his only time and how they should be a dynasty and not a one hit wonder?
Disagree with the Maurice interview, and being happy for him. I don't care if he was joking or not, dropping your own name is equivalent to speaking of yourself in the third-person. Besides this, his lunatic ranting and temper-tantrum-throwing is a disorder that should be addressed by therapy. Long, long years of therapy. Al Arbour and Tom Landry roll in their graves every time infants like Maurice show their asses. And to do it in public is even more disgraceful. And no, this behavior is not justified as a means of player motivation. People with obscenely bloated multimillion-dollar contracts already have all the motivation they need. If not, then kick them TF out of the sport.
Florida Panthers Stanley Cup Champions! 🖕🏼Boston 🖕🏼NY
WRONG!!! It would have been the greatest Stanley cup finals had Edmonton won but lame game 7 deflated any chance of that.
Oilers should have won
The NHL script was written for the Panthers to win the Cup, McDavid gets the ConnSmythe as a Connselation prize. It wasn’t that long ago hockey in south Florida was dead af. Attendance was about 4000 per game, wow what a remarkable turnaround (lol). The general public will consume whatever is placed before them without a second thought .
Irrelevant
