3 MINS AGO: Connor McDavid Just LOCKED IN the Richest Deal in NHL History! https://www.rawchili.com/4438205/ #ConnorMcDavid #ConnorMcDavidNewContract #EdmontonOilers #EdmontonOilers #HighestPaidNHLPlayer #hockey #HockeyNews #LeonDraisaitl #NHL #NhlContracts #NHLFreeAgency #NHLNews #NHLRecordContract #NhlRumors #NhlSalaryCap #OilersNews #StanBowman #StanleyCupFinals

Corey Perry is one loss away from being on the losing side in five of the last six #StanleyCupFinals

I know a lot of people will enjoy that stat, but to me, I'm legit kinda bummed for him.

It takes *a lot* to still be productive and needed at his ripe old age.

Oil in seven?

#HNOM #Hockey #NHL @hockey

Teeny glow in the dark McDavid charged and ready to go.
Let's go Oilers! 🧡💙 🏒

:Sitara: Sitara: Hey Skye! Check out this elite move! I can knock the cup down AND stand it upright again! Bet you can’t do this…!!! 😌

BunMum: Are you ready to take on the Florida Panthers, Skye? They’re a pretty tough team..

Skye :skyeface3: : Yarrrrrrr…! *SkyeSlams Stanley Cup fiercely* *SkyeSlams Hockey Stick fiercely*

3/6 #EdmontonOilers #StanleyCupPlayoffs #StanleyCupFinals I’m ready too, Skye! Hey you’re left-pawed..! I use a right handed stick 🥰. -Sitara 🏒:Sitara:

2/6 #EdmontonOilers #StanleyCupPlayoffs #StanleyCupFinals This is more like it! Woo hoo, let’s go Oilers! :Oilers: My home town 🥰💙🧡💙! -Skye 🏒:Skye:

1/6 :Oilers: #EdmontonOilers #StanleyCupPlayoffs #StanleyCupFinals BunMum, I’m ready for the Oilers game but the stick you’ve given me is an old stick from the Wayne Gretzky era, has some weird Tikkanen name on it instead of mine and felt pen scribbles, and it’s just a wee bit too big for me. -Skye 🏒:skyeface3:

Wow, this game is Edmonton's to lose. #Hockey #HockeyDon #HNOM #NHLBruins #USSsport @hnom #stanleycupfinals

If the entire series is like Game 1, I think we're in for a helluva #StanleyCupFinals

#hnom #oilers #panthers #nhl #hockey

Congrats to the Oilers and the City of Edmonton, back to back runs all the way to the #StanleyCupFinals and a chance for revenge against the evil Florida Panthers! Both teams just easily won their series, so this might be epic — time for the #StanleyCup to come back to Canada! #TeamCanada #ElbowsUp

Congratulations to the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Edmonton Oilers for winning their Round 1 match-ups and advancing in the #StanleyCupFinals. This year even more than ever, a Canadian team needs to win the Cup. Get it done in your series too, Winnipeg. #GoJetsGo #TeamCanada #ElbowsUp

WTF Canada, you haven't won a cup in like 30 years and the state of Florida has like 4 in that time.

#stanleycupfinals #nhl

Florida is a demon-haunted land of utter darkness…. 🏒 🥅 #StanleyCupFinals #NHL

*taps mic*

You shouldn't be allowed to win the Stanley Cup if your region never sees ice form naturally outdoors.

(Congratulations anyway, Panthers.)

#NHL #StanleyCupFinals

Kappas, Florida Panthers sitten kuitenki voitti Stanley Cupin.

And on the seventh day, McJesus and the Edmonton Oilers did not rise as predicted, and yet again the Canadian fans wept. That's the season, folks.

#nhl #StanleyCupFinals #EdmontonOilers #FloridaPanthers

Come on Oilers! 🛢️🏒 #NHL #StanleyCupFinals #EdmontonOilers #GameSeven

Game 7 of the #StanleyCupFinals is the first #NHL game I have tuned into this year I think. I watched a little at the beginning of the season but it was just too difficult to get the streaming working every time. I've made it work this time though.

As a big fan of travelling to Florida, all I have to say is "...You guys have enough. You have theme parks and cruises and no snow. Let us have our damn cup back.”
