Both the Golden Knights and Panthers started their conference final matchup with a commanding 3-0 lead after the first three games. This time around one team is not going to be as lucky. So, the earliest the Stanley Cup could be won is on Saturday, June 10 in Florida.
This is an interesting Stanley Cup Final for many reasons. We have two teams who have never won the Stanley Cup before for starters, additionally the Florida Panthers entered the postseason as the lowest ranked seed and now find themselves four wins away from winning the Cup.
This is going to be a great matchup so fans will want to tune in when the series starts on June 3rd.
How the timing of this year’s Stanley Cup Final compares to previous seasons.
This year’s start date for the Stanley Cup Final is relatively similar to past seasons over the grand scheme of things. The COVID-19 Pandemic obviously shuffled things around in 2020 and 2021, but most seasons have seen a start date around this time.
2022: Game One in Colorado on June 15
2019: Game One in Boston on May 29
2018: Game One in Vegas on May 28
2017: Game One in Pittsburgh on May 29
2016: Game One in Pittsburgh on May 30
2015: Game One in Tampa Bay on June 3
So far this postseason, the Golden Knights and Panthers have won game one of their series in two out of their three series thus far. So it will be interesting to see who ends up winning in game one this time around.
