The crown is yours today is Wednesday, June 18th and the Florida Panthers are back to back Stanley Cup champions and incredible. Last two games of the series where they absolutely dominated the Oilers and just an incredible way to fit that they're the best team. There's not much to mean if you had to pick a second best team PFT, it's probably the Toronto Maple Leafs

because they took them to seven. So it was like an exciting Stanley Cup final for the first four games and then the Panthers were like, oh yeah, we're the best team. We're about to win back-to-back titles and congrats to them. So I was about to start the show congratulating the Toronto Maple Leafs on being better than the Edmonton Oilers.

So congrats to Biz.

Biz was actually kind of right in his argument against wit. So I was about to start the show by congratulating the Toronto Maple Leafs on being better than the

Edminton Oilers.

Like Congrats to Biz. Biz was actually kind of right in his argument against Whit. It stinks for Oilers fans, but you got to put in your face. It's not like this was a close game. It's not like the end of the series closed out where you thought that you had a chance. This was a ask kicking. It just kicked our asses. and then ryan art with he had four goals tonight four goals tonight

sam ryan haraqtrick was thought that you had a chance. This was a housekeeping. They just kicked our asses. And then Ryan Hart, he had four goals tonight. Four goals tonight. Sam Ryan Hart was, yeah, he was awesome. He'd say, I'm Bennett, the other Sam won the cons, Mike with 15 goals in the post season, led the whole post season, 22 points. But yeah, Sam Ryan Hart, four goals, but you're right. Like this was not these last two games were so clear.

If the Florida Panthers were the better team and Bob, we said it with when our previews with with Yanns with wit, we're like, Bob's going to get hot. And he's going to he's going to get hot. And it's going to be lights out for the Panthers. And that's exactly what he did in these last two games tonight. I think he saw twenty twenty nine shots save twenty eight of them.

Uh, he's just he's he is that dude in close two games. Tonight I think he saw 29 shots, save 28 of them. He's just, he is that dude in closeout games. You can't go back to Skinner if you're the Oilers. We told you that a couple nights ago. You cannot go back to him. Do you feel bad for Oilers? I do. I feel bad for the entire country of Canada. Yeah. 1993. It felt like this might be Canada's year. Yeah. memes memes, I think, just tweeted the American team is one of the CFL great cup in more recent time than the Canadian team is one of the Stanley Cup. So the Baltimore stallions, I believe in 1995 won the great cup. I think they were only in the league for a year or two. and it's been a shorter distance in time

than the Canadian teams winning a Stanley Cup. It's tough. I do feel bad. I feel bad for the Oilers. I feel bad. Well, Conor McDavid can't win the big one. We're gonna just jump into it. I don't know what to say. I feel bad for him. He's an incredible player, but as of right now, I'm just going on the facts that I see has not won the big one.

Okay, so my plan was to just butter up Canada as a contrary real quick Okay, and just be like we feel bad for you. This was a great team Ultimately it was a combination of ride windy and your goal-tending that lets you down It's not your fault Canada, but also maybe your golden boy is looking like full school. Yeah, I mean, it's not his fault We're being a little tongue in cheek, but obviously this will be the the the prevailing story of Kenny win the big one Because he is the best player in the league and he hasn't won the big one and for back-to-back years the Florida Panthers That's got to be the hardest part to PFT if you're an Edmonds norther's fan Conor McDavid's the best player in the league. You have all this tradition.

You have the Stanley Cup years with Gratsky and Messier.

And then you have a team in Florida who is just dominant.

Like the Florida Panthers deserve all the credit

for putting together an absolute beast of a team.
