The NHL live in Germany on TV and live stream – from the regular season to the playoffs to the Stanley Cup Finals.
The Edmonton Oilers would have done it. After numerous disappointments in the playoffs in recent years, Leon Draisaitl’s team finally fought for the Stanley Cup.
In the semifinals, the Oilers beat the Dallas Stars 4-2 and met the Florida Panthers in the NHL final. However, Draisaitl and his Oilers had to admit defeat 4-3 in the final after a fightback.
Draisaitl wants to attack again with the Oilers in the 2024/25 season. The Cologne native would be the next German Stanley Cup champion after Uwe Krupp (1996 and 2002), Dennis Seidenberg (2011), Tom Kühnhackl (2016 and 2017), Philipp Grubauer (2018) and Nico Sturm (2022).
