Send Push
Wayne Gretzky , the NHL legend, has been very vocal in the last few weeks after the drama that unfolded at the 4 Nations’ final match in February. While Wayne Gretzky has mostly stayed out of the public eye since then, the NHL legend recently opened up about the 2025 Stanley Cup finals and which team he has full faith in.

Wayne Gretzky makes his thoughts clear about which team he has full faith in for the 2025 Stanley Cup Finals


Wayne Gretzky recently appeared on NFL star and the Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end, Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce’s popular podcast, New Heights.

Even though the Florida Panthers have already qualified for the 2025 Stanley Cup finals after beating the Carolina Hurricanes last night, the Edmonton Oilers are yet to beat the Dallas Stars even though the Oilers have already recorded their third consecutive win in the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs Western Conference Final.

On the recent episode of New Heights, Wayne Gretzky said, "I want you to know, I am the only guy in the TNT panel that picked Edmonton to get to the finals. I picked Tampa Bay in the East. Part of my pick then was Matthew Tkachuk, who was hurt.”

The NHL legend added, “He was such a big part of the success of the Panthers, and I wasn't sure he was coming back.”

Wayne Gretzky continued, "Now I will say this, Edmonton learned a great lesson last year losing in the finals. They will be a little bit different, and some of the things won’t be surprises off the ice."

While the Edmonton Oilers are all set to face the Dallas Stars for Game 5 tonight, Zach Hyman has been ruled out of the game due to an injury.

Yesterday, the Edmonton Oilers’ head coach, Kris Knoblauch announced that Zach Hyman will be undergoing surgery for his injury even though the team has not revealed what type of injury the star player has sustained.

This has the Edmonton Oilers’ fans stressed about the situation as an injury at this stage was unexpected.

However, the Edmonton Oilers have recorded a pretty strong performance this season and there are high chances of the Oilers reaching the finals again this time.
