Rats... I'm Cooper Douglas, and I'm wallowing in the Oilers defeat.

For a second straight year the Florida Panthers are Stanley Cup champions, and also in a repeat of last year, they took down the Edmonton Oilers on home ice in Sunrise, Florida to finish the job.

It's a tough day for Oilers fans, and anyone who thought the cup was coming north.

It's also a great day for people cheering against the Oilers.

The smell of burning rubber, kicked-up dust, and high-octane fuel filled the air this weekend at Flatlanders Speedway in Kindersley.

Joseph Chiliak, a racer at Flatlanders, was happy with the turnout of both fans and cars.

“Oh, it went awesome. We had a little over 40 cars across all the different classes. Great turnout from the fans, and the show went super smoothly. It was a great weekend.”

Chiliak had some success on the track himself, getting the chance to drive two different cars—without needing to call the tow truck.
