3 Stanley Cup Final Series Predictions
A new series needs a new series of predictions. This might be the second year that these teams are facing each other, but this is not last year's Edmonton Oilers.
Here are my three major series predictions:
Oilers Won't Go Down 0-3
The Oilers have not lost more than two games in a row for this entire playoff run. Since losing their first two games against the Los Angeles Kings, they have only lost two total games.

They have demonstrated a calmness and maturity that they didn't have last year. Those attributes will serve them well in the Cup Final. And there is no way that Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl allow their team to be put in the same unfortunate situation.
Evander Kane Will Be Evander Kane
It's time for the Oilers to raise some Kane…that is, Evander Kane.
Last year, Kane was virtually invisible in the series against the Panthers. He only played two games (Games 1 & 2), recording two hits and one block in 25 total minutes of ice time.
That's not going to be good enough this year.
Kane seemingly took a backseat during the Dallas Stars series. I suspect he might have struggled to find a way to get physically engaged. There should be no struggles to get physically engaged with the likes of former Calgary Flames forwards Sam Bennett and Matthew Tkachuk.
Oilers Will Get The Last Laugh
My final prediction: the Oilers will win the Stanley Cup. There is enough different about this year's Oilers that they won't fail in the final twice. Oilers in five.

Miami Receives Disappointing News On Elite 4-Star In-State Target
Miami Receives Disappointing News On Elite 4-Star In-State Target originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Class of 2026 four-star wide receiver Brandon Bennett is down to three major schools after updating his list on Friday. Advertisement Bennett (6-foot, 170 pounds) plays for high school powerhouse American Heritage in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The talented playmaker hauled in 24 passes for 509 yards (21.2-yard average) with seven touchdowns and another score on a kickoff return in 2024. Bennett ranks as the No. 16 receiver, the No. 17 player in the state and the No. 107 recruit overall in his class (ESPN). Bennett is also a star sprinter with a personal best of 10.43 in the 100-meter dash. That speed is an extremely coveted attribute, which has, in part, drawn interest from some of the top college football programs in the country. American Heritage Patriots receiver Brandon Bennett (11)Jonah Hinebaugh/Naples Daily News/USA Today Network-Florida / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Miami and head coach Mario Cristobal have been involved in Bennett's recruitment for some time. The Hurricanes were one of the first programs to offer the in-state wideout in February 2023. Advertisement Bennett received a visit from Cristobal and staff members in January this year before taking an unofficial trip to Miami in February. However, the Hurricanes were left out of Bennett's final three schools in favor of in-state rivals Florida and Florida State, alongside Georgia. Bennett will officially visit Georgia over the weekend before taking official trips to Florida State (June 6) and Florida (June 13). Miami has yet to add a wide receiver to its 2026 class, which ranks No. 7 nationally and first in the ACC. An intriguing race to watch is the recruitment of LSU wide receiver commit Tristen Keys, who is slated to visit the Hurricanes on Friday after previously being on campus on April 12.
