Stanley Cup Final: Game SEVEN! – Lineups, Broadcast Info, Game Thread

The Stanley Cup will be in the build for a fourth straight game. This time, we know for sure that Gary Bettman will hand it to someone at the end of the game. We’ve got a Game 7, folks! The unbelievable comeback for the Edmonton Oilers isn’t complete, but the Florida Panthers need to find the game that led them to a 3-0 lead in the series somehow. This has become an all-time great Stanley Cup Final, and it ends tonight!

What to Watch For

  • McDavid isn’t human and everyone on the eyes of everyone on the continent will be on him every single shift. Do the Panthers have an answer? They did for three games and then 97 flipped into god-mode.
  • Can Bobrovsky bounce back to being the best goaltender in the postseason? He’s been very average for two games after being dominant for three games. He’s a huge key for Florida.
  • Who plays the hero? Is it chalk — McDavid, Draisaitl, Tkachuk, Bob, Barkov — or does someone else (Mr. Short-Handed, Connor Brown?) who steps up and has his historic moment?
  • Get Caught Up
