The last time the Edmonton Oilers won the Stanley Cup, Glenn Anderson and Mark Messier were scoring goals and Connor McDavid was not even a glimmer in his parents’ eyes.

Twenty-four years later, the Oilers are the champions of the Western Conference once again and will vie to bring the Stanley Cup back home to Edmonton and back to Canada in general.

The Oilers finished off the Dallas Stars on Sunday night with a 2-1 victory in Game 6. It will be the team’s first final appearance since 2006.

“When the horn went off, that’s the loudest I ever heard it,” McDavid told Sportsnet after the game. “Special place to play, honestly. So much history. And these fans, it was great to hear their support.”

McDavid had a goal and an assist, and Zach Hyman added a score of his own. Both goals came in the first period. Goaltender Stuart Skinner stopped 34 shots.

“We’re not done here. This is just one step in the right direction for us,” Edmonton’s Mattias Ekholm said.
