According to ESPN Stats and Information, the finals matchup between the Edmonton Oilers and the Florida Panthers is going down in history as the furthest distance between two cities in NHL and North American Sports history.
If you're thinking of taking a stroll from one city to the other, you better pack some snacks and comfy shoes because it's a whopping 44-day journey on foot! But hey, if walking's not your thing, you can always hop on a plane. With flight times clocking in at approximately 5 hours and 36 minutes each way, you'll still have plenty of time to catch up on your favorite podcasts or squeeze in a nap.
In an extraordinary night of NHL action, several historic records were shattered. Edmonton managed to clinch the Conference Finals with only 10 shots, the fewest ever in such a decisive game, breaking Boston's 1990 record of 17 shots.
Additionally, they set the record for the worst shot differential by a winning team in a Conference Finals clincher at minus-25, surpassing Nashville's minus-23 from the 2017 West Final.
Game 1 kicks off on Saturday, June 8th in Sunrise, Florida. So buckle up, hockey fans, because this final is taking us on one incredible ride on the ice and in the air.
