With the "dynasty" word being floated freely as the Florida Panthers prepare for their third consecutive Stanley Cup Finals appearance, the public has been backing the Edmonton Oilers to avoid a repeat of last year's finals.

The Oilers are playing their best at the most important time of the season and will face the Florida Panthers in a Final rematch starting with Game 1 of the best-of-7 series at Rogers Place in Edmonton on Wednesday (8 p.m. ET; CBC, TVAS, SN, TNT, truTV, MAX).

"We’re starting to see some of our best hockey," Connor McDavid said after the Oilers earned a rematch against the Florida Panthers.

This playoff run has felt different for Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers. They are back in the same place.

The Edmonton Oilers scored three goals in the first 8:07 of the game to advance to the Stanley Cup Final for the second straight season after they defeated the Dallas Stars 6-3 in Game 5 of the Western Conference Final at American Airlines Center on Thursday.
