Stanley Cup Final 101: All you need to know (and some you should have known)
Pssst … the Edmonton Oilers are playing in the Stanley Cup Final. Article content Article content No, no. It's cool, it's cool. They haven't started yet, so there's still time to figure out exactly what that means so you won't be completely broadsided when people start talking to you about it over the next couple weeks. Article content I mean, the last thing we want is for them to find out you don't have a clue about hockey, other than you have a niece or nephew who plays on some sort of team. Somewhere. At least, you think so anyway. Article content Article content Check that. The last thing you want is for people to find out you don't really care, or understand what all the fuss is about. Then, all of a sudden you're the only one at work not getting invited out to the watch party. Your co-workers are avoiding eye contact with you, and everyone clams up around the water cooler in order to avoid the awkward silence the last time they were all talking about a big game and you asked who's playing. Article content So, you don't dare ask questions anymore. Not without sitting down and streaming all 82 games of the regular season, plus the previous three rounds of playoffs to get up to speed. Article content But have no fear. We've got you covered. Here is an easy-to-digest refresher on all you need to know to help you fit into the conversation. Because, hey, it is supposed to be our national winter sport after all. Article content So, go grab a snack and let's sit down for a quick Hockey 101 on what's going on with the Oilers right now: Article content What you absolutely need to know is the Edmonton Oilers aren't just playing for the Stanley Cup. They are back in the final for the second year in a row. Not only that, they're playing against the same Florida Panthers who beat them in last year's championship. Article content First off, the Stanley Cup Final (yes, they capitalize it) is a best-of-7 series between the last two teams standing in the NHL playoffs. The Oilers represent the Western Conference, and the Panthers the Eastern Conference in the competition over what might as well be hockey's Holy Grail, which you also might hear called Lord Stanley (after the 16th Earl of Derby who commissioned the original trophy in 1892). While we don't need to go delving into the history of the whole thing, it's worth looking at some more recent past. Article content
