The Stanley Cup Final got underway on Saturday night and despite a strong effort, the Edmonton Oilers were unable to pull out a win as Florida took Game 1, 3-0.
After the game when meeting with reporters, Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid was disappointed that his team lost, but happy with the effort that gave from start to finish, feeling that they were unlucky.
In Game 6 against Dallas, the Oilers set a new National Hockey League record with the least amount of shots in a Conference Final clinching game with just 10, scoring twice.
Flash forward six days and the exact opposite happens to the Oilers. McDavid & co. were peppering Sergei Bobrovsky with shots and controlled the play for the majority of the 60 minutes, but the Panthers scored twice on 17 shots, and added an empty netter, to take a 1-0 series lead.
