The Edmonton Oilers took fans and a nation for a wild playoff ride in the 2025 Stanley Cup playoffs. They were able to make it to the Stanley Cup Finals again but lost to the 2024 Stanely Cup champion Florida Panthers.
This time they lost in 6 games compared to seven games in 2024. Many feel that the Oilers were better prepared from the 2025 playoffs than in 2024 but what they were not prepared for was a dominant Florida Panthers team that had an amazing offense with eight players with > 20 playoff points, a Vezina caliber goaltender still playing at the top of his game and a forechecking team that the league has not seen in the playoffs for decades.
