Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final was an eye-opener for the Edmonton Oilers. Unlike the Florida Panthers — their opponent who got a taste of the final just a year ago — only a handful of Edmonton’s players have ever experienced Game 1 of a championship series: The energy. The pressure. The elevated competition.
Florida Panthers center Sam Reinhart and Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid go for the puck during the first period of Game 1 of the NHL hockey Stanley Cup Finals, Saturday, June 8, 2024, in Sunrise, Fla.

For stars like Connor McDavid, a generational talent who has faced pressure since the moment he entered the league nine years ago, the game started business as usual. Even McDavid, who leads all scorers in the postseason with 31 points, couldn’t cut through the Florida defense despite no shortage of chances.
Connor Brown looked to put Edmonton on the board in the second period when he jammed the puck under Bobrovsky’s right pad — right after the goalie had saved a wrist shot from Mattias Janmark — but the goal was waved off as it appeared that Brown had shoved Bobrovsky into the net with the puck.
