While the Panthers celebrated their first-ever championship with their own fans, the Oilers slipped into a painful summer break after missing a chapter in hockey history, according to derstandard columnists. With a fourth victory, the Oilers would have made sports history and become the second team in NHL history to win a series after three losses at the start of the Stanley Cup Finals.

Thanks to the victory of the Florida Panthers, the Montreal Canadiens remain the last club from Canada to become the champion of the North American professional league. It happened in 1993, and after that, the Stanley Cup has always been awarded to a hockey club from the United States. It should be noted that hockey is the most popular sport in Canada with a long tradition.
