The Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers will begin their Stanley Cup Final rematch with Game 1 on Wednesday night. The Panthers are eyeing a repeat performance while the Oilers will try to lift the Cup for the first time since 1990.

For nearly three full years under coach Paul Maurice, the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers were unbeatable in the playoffs when holding a lead through either of the first two periods. Until Wednesday night.

If you would have asked both of us in the middle of the summer if we have a chance to play for the Stanley Cup again, a rematch, we would both race to sign that paper.’
