连续第二年,斯坦利杯季后赛的最终系列赛将在佛罗里达黑豹队和埃德蒙顿油人队之间展开。

两队在2024年的对决为争夺斯坦利杯上演了一场激动人心的战斗——佛罗里达队率先取得3-0的系列赛领先,随后埃德蒙顿队奋起反击,将比赛拖入决胜的第七场。最终,黑豹队在主场赢得了决定性的比赛,拿下了球队历史上的首座斯坦利杯。

两队再次相遇,决定谁将捧起斯坦利勋爵杯,这让人回想起其他一些在第二年上演背靠背总决赛重赛的冠军系列赛。以下是自1990年以来,一些美国主要体育联盟中的其他总决赛重赛。

NHL(国家冰球联盟)

底特律红翼队 vs 匹兹堡企鹅队:2008年和2009年斯坦利杯决赛

红翼队和企鹅队连续奉献了两场精彩的系列赛,2008年的对决进行了六场比赛,而2009年的对决则鏖战了七场。

底特律队在每个系列赛的开局都取得了2-0的领先,但随后的结果却截然不同。2008年,红翼队凭借他们的火热开局最终获胜,而在接下来的一年里,企鹅队从最初的两场失利中奋起反击,成功复仇。


NBA(美国职业篮球联赛)

金州勇士队 vs 克利夫兰骑士队:2015年、2016年、2017年和2018年NBA总决赛

作为现代总决赛重赛的黄金标准,勒布朗·詹姆斯 (LeBron James) 领衔的骑士队和斯蒂芬·库里 (Stephen Curry) 领衔的勇士队在2010年代中期,令人瞩目地连续四次在NBA总决赛中相遇。

金州勇士队赢得了第一次对决,之后,詹姆斯上演了传奇般的1-3大逆转,成功复仇并将拉里·奥布莱恩杯带到了克利夫兰。然而,勇士队赢得了随后的两次对决。

圣安东尼奥马刺队 vs 迈阿密热火队:2013年和2014年NBA总决赛

NBA在21世纪的另一次总决赛重演也出现了詹姆斯——这次是他效力于迈阿密热火队期间。

热火队赢得了两队之间的第一次交锋,在2013年的总决赛中,双方激战七场,其中包括雷·阿伦 (Ray Allen) 在第六场中投进的著名的扳平比分底角三分球。然而,圣安东尼奥马刺队在下个赛季的重赛中扳平了比分,科怀·伦纳德 (Kawhi Leonard) 获得了总决赛MVP的荣誉,马刺队以五场比赛获胜。

犹他爵士队 vs 芝加哥公牛队:1997年和1998年NBA总决赛

迈克尔·乔丹 (Michael Jordan) 带领公牛队第二次三连冠的最后两次总决赛,对手都是由约翰·斯托克顿 (John Stockton) 和卡尔·马龙 (Karl Malone) 领衔的犹他爵士队。

两队之间的首次对决造就了乔丹最标志性的时刻之一——他在第五场比赛中的“流感之战”——这位超级巨星后卫狂砍38分,包括在最后一分钟投进的制胜三分球,帮助芝加哥队取得了胜利。公牛队最终以六场比赛赢得了该系列赛。在随后的1998年总决赛中,乔丹的传奇再次续写,他在第六场比赛的最后几秒投中了后撤步制胜球。


NFL(国家橄榄球联盟)

达拉斯牛仔队 vs 布法罗比尔队:第XXVII届和XXVIII届超级碗

比尔队连续四次在超级碗中失利,其中最惨痛的两场失利就是背靠背地输给了达拉斯牛仔队,在第XXVII届和XXVIII届超级碗中以令人信服的方式告负。

第XXVII届超级碗是其中最糟糕的一场——达拉斯队以52-17获胜,35分的差距并列超级碗历史上的第三大分差——但接下来的赛季并没有给布法罗球迷带来更多慰藉。比尔队以13-6的比分进入中场休息,之后牛仔队在下半场连得24分,以30-13获胜。


WNBA(美国女子职业篮球联赛)

洛杉矶火花队 vs 明尼苏达山猫队:2016年和2017年WNBA总决赛

火花队和山猫队的背靠背WNBA总决赛对决没有让人失望,两支球队都各自赢得了一个总冠军,两场系列赛都需要通过决胜的第五场比赛来决出胜负。

坎迪斯·帕克 (Candace Parker) 在2016年为洛杉矶赢得了总决赛MVP的荣誉,她在关键的第五场比赛中贡献了28分和12个篮板。西尔维娅·福尔斯 (Sylvia Fowles) 帮助明尼苏达队在2017年成功复仇,她在该系列赛中场均得到17.8分和15个篮板,并获得了自己的总决赛MVP奖杯。

休斯顿彗星队 vs 纽约自由人队:1999年和2000年WNBA总决赛

休斯顿队和纽约队背靠背的总决赛并没有像多年后火花队和山猫队的重赛那样带来同样的悬念和戏剧性。彗星队赢得了这两个系列赛,其中2000年的胜利标志着他们连续第四次获得WNBA总冠军。

辛西娅·库珀 (Cynthia Cooper) 在这两个系列赛中都占据统治地位,并获得了她的第三和第四个总决赛MVP奖项。这位篮球名人堂后卫在1999年场均得到21.7分,在2000年场均得到22.5分,休斯顿队横扫了三局两胜制的系列赛重赛。

Oilers-Panthers Stanley Cup showdown joins list of recent championship rematches

For the second straight year, the final series of the Stanley Cup playoffs comes down to the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers.

The 2024 matchup between the two teams produced a thrilling battle for the Cup – Florida took a commanding 3-0 series lead, before Edmonton stormed back to force a decisive Game 7. The Panthers prevailed on home ice in the series-deciding game, though, clinching the franchise’s first Stanley Cup.

The two teams meeting once again to decide who will hoist Lord Stanley’s Cup harkens back memories of other championship series that went back-to-back the following year. Here are some other championship rematches across a number of notable American sports leagues since 1990.

NHL

Detroit Red Wings vs Pittsburgh Penguins: 2008 and 2009 Stanley Cup Final

The Red Wings and Penguins delivered a pair of entertaining series in succession, with the 2008 matchup going six games and the 2009 edition requiring seven.

Detroit took a 2-0 lead to start off each series, the prelude to differing results by the time the Cup was lifted. In 2008, the Red Wings rode their hot start to victory, whereas the following year the Penguins rallied back from their initial two-game deficit to get their revenge.


NBA

Golden State Warriors vs Cleveland Cavaliers: 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 NBA Finals

The modern gold standard for title rematches, LeBron James’ Cavaliers and Stephen Curry’s Warriors met in the NBA Finals a remarkable four consecutive times in the mid-2010s.

Golden State took the first matchup, before James pulled off a legendary 3-1 comeback to get revenge and bring the Larry O’Brien Trophy to Cleveland in the sequel. However, the Warriors would take the two editions that followed.

San Antonio Spurs vs Miami Heat: 2013 and 2014 NBA Finals

The NBA’s other 21st-century repeat Finals also featured James – this time during his tenure with the Miami Heat.

The Heat won the first of the two meetings, taking the 2013 Finals in a back-and-forth seven game series that included Ray Allen’s famous game-tying corner three in Game 6. San Antonio would even things in next season’s rematch, however, with Kawhi Leonard earning Finals MVP honors as the Spurs won in five games.

Utah Jazz vs Chicago Bulls: 1997 and 1998 NBA Finals

The last two Finals of Michael Jordan’s second three-peat with the Bulls came against the John Stockton and Karl Malone-led Utah Jazz.

The first matchup between the two squads produced one of Jordan’s most iconic moments – his “Flu Game” in Game 5 – where the superstar guard poured in 38 points, including a go-ahead 3-pointer in the final minute to lift Chicago to victory. The Bulls would win the series in six games. Jordan’s legend grew again in the subsequent 1998 Finals, hitting the step-back series-winning shot with seconds remaining in Game 6.


NFL

Dallas Cowboys vs Buffalo Bills: Super Bowls XXVII and XXVIII.

Capping off a run of four straight Super Bowl defeats for the Bills were the team’s two most lopsided losses in the stretch, falling back-to-back to the Cowboys in convincing fashion in Super Bowls XXVII and XXVIII.

Super Bowl XXVII was the worst of the pair – the 35-point margin in Dallas’ 52-17 win is tied for the third-largest score difference in Super Bowl history – but the following season didn’t bring much more fulfillment for Buffalo fans. The Bills took a 13-6 lead into halftime, before the Cowboys posted 24 unanswered points in the second half to win 30-13.


WNBA

Los Angeles Sparks vs Minnesota Lynx: 2016 and 2017 WNBA Finals

The Sparks and Lynx’ back-to-back WNBA Finals matchups didn’t disappoint, with the two squads both coming away with a title apiece after a pair of series that both required decisive Game 5s.

Candace Parker earned Finals MVP honors with Los Angeles in 2016, amassing 28 points and 12 rebounds in a crucial Game 5. Sylvia Fowles helped Minnesota get revenge in 2017, though, averaging 17.8 points and 15 rebounds in the series to earn her own Finals MVP trophy.

Houston Comets vs New York Liberty: 1999 and 2000 WNBA Finals

Houston and New York’s back-to-back Finals didn’t bring nearly the same intrigue and drama as the repeat matchup of the Sparks and Lynx years later. The Comets would win both series, with their 2000 victory marking their fourth consecutive WNBA championship.

Cynthia Cooper dominated both series en route to her third and fourth Finals MVP awards. The Basketball Hall of Fame guard averaged 21.7 points per game in 1999 and 22.5 points per game in 2000, as Houston swept the best-of-three series rematch.
