The Stanley Cup Final is finally here after a long wait. The Edmonton Oilers traveled the farthest any team has ever gone for Game 1, as the toll of a long travel schedule could affect the teams if this series drags on. However, they will be refreshed for the series' first two games.
Both teams won their Conference Final series with Game 6 victories, and have been the most dominant teams in each conference for the second half of the season. It's fitting that these teams match up against each other, and it promises to be one of the most exciting finals in years.
