The Edmonton Oilers' two first-period goals was enough to get past the Dallas Stars and win the Western Conference on Sunday. They will play the Florida Panthers for the Stanley Cup.
The last time the Edmonton Oilers won the Stanley Cup, Glenn Anderson and Mark Messier were scoring goals and Connor McDavid was not even a glimmer in his parents’ eyes. Twenty-four years later, the Oilers are the champions of the Western Conference once again and will vie to bring the Stanley Cup back home to Edmonton and back to Canada in general.
The Oilers finished off the Dallas Stars on Sunday night with a 2-1 victory in Game 6. It will be the team’s first final appearance since 2006. 'When the horn went off, that's the loudest I ever heard it,' McDavid told Sportsnet after the game. 'Special place to play, honestly. So much history. And these fans, it was great to hear their support.' McDavid had a goal and an assist, and Zach Hyman added a score of his own. Both goals came in the first period.
Dallas tried to get back into the game with a third-period goal from Mason Marchment, but none of the team’s other shots found the back of the net. The Stars pulled goaltender Jake Oettinger with 2:20 left in the game, but Dallas only had two shots the rest of the way. 'Proud of our group, proud of our fight, proud of our battle,' Stars coach Peter DeBoer said. You’re just gutted. They did leave everything out there. We should be going to play a Game 7, we’re not.
