The Edmonton Oilers came oh-so-close to winning their first Stanley Cup championship since 1990. But in the end, it was the Florida Panthers who emerged victorious, winning Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, 2-1, on Monday night in Sunrise, Florida.

The Panthers' victory ended their own 31-year Stanley Cup drought and gave them their first championship in franchise history. It was a hard-fought series, with both teams trading blows throughout the seven games. But in the end, it was the Panthers who made the one more play and came away with the victory.

The Oilers had a chance to tie the game late in the third period, but Panthers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky made a spectacular save on a shot from Connor McDavid. The Panthers then held on for the win, and the celebration was on.

The Stanley Cup victory is a culmination of years of hard work and dedication for the Panthers organization. It is a moment that will be remembered by fans for years to come.
