No matter who wins the Stanley Cup this year, history will have been made. In a rematch of the 2024 Stanley Cup Finals, the defending champion Florida Panthers will take on the Edmonton Oilers. On the Oilers’ side, Connor McDavid — arguably the greatest player of his generation — will attempt to finally hoist Lord Stanley’s Mug after coming up short last season, despite the Oilers fighting back from a 3-0 deficit to force a game 7. On the other hand, this will mark the third-straight year the Florida Panthers have appeared in the Final, having won it in back-to-back years and looking for a third straight championship.
We had a ton of fun simulating Aaron Rodgers and Kirk Cousins’ 2025 NFL seasons yesterday. So why not give it a try with the Stanley Cup Finals? Using NHL 25, we simulated the best-of-7 series. And if you’re reading this, get comfortable and grab a bag of popcorn. Because this series was wild!
