There Is No Joy in Edmonton . . .

The mighty Oilers lost the Stanley Cup Final 2-1.

 
At least the Oilers captain, Connor McDavid,
won the Conn Smythe trophy for the
Most Valuable Player of the playoffs.

But the Biggest Trophy Of All
went to the Florida Panthers
for the first time in their
31-year franchise history.

So congrats to them!

  2. I am truly saddened. I sang La Bamba during my entire walk today. Wish I could be happy for the Panthers in their first one, but... Florida.
