NHL Stanley Cup Finals podcast Mary Lisa:

#1 The Edmonton Oilers who had pretty much dominated the Stanley Cup Western Conference finals against the Dallas Stars won the series 4-1 with a convincing 6-3 win in Dallas.

#2 Connor McDavid got a crucial goal in the second period and got an assist on 40 year old Corey Perry’s goal as the Oilers head to the NHL Stanley Cup Finals.

#3 The Oilers wrapped up this series in a very neat package doing it in five games and the Stars are no easy customer to beat needless to say in Dallas either.

#4 The Oilers will rematch last season’s final with the Florida Panthers that went seven games. The Panthers who won the first three games of the series, the Oilers came back and tied up the series 3-3 and the Panthers took game 7 to win the Stanley Cup.

#5 The Oilers have home ice for game 1 on Wednesday night in Edmonton. The Panthers took out the Carolina Hurricanes in five games 4-1. Do you see this being another back and forth series last season’s final was really a tough act to follow.
