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.

STARS COACH PETER DEBOER PUSHES BACK AT SUGGESTION TEAM WAS 'LIFELESS' IN LATEST LOSS TO OILERS

Dallas tried to get back into the game with a third-period goal from Mason Marchment, but none of the team’s other shots found the back of the net.

The Stars pulled goaltender Jake Oettinger with 2:20 left in the game, but Dallas only had two shots the rest of the way.

"Proud of our group, proud of our fight, proud of our battle," Stars coach Peter DeBoer said. You’re just gutted. They did leave everything out there. We should be going to play a Game 7, we’re not. You have to give Edmonton credit. Their power play particularly over the last two games was good, their goaltender was good. It’s fine lines when you get to this point of the year, and they were on the right side of it. … It’s tough to swallow."

Edmonton will face a hungry Florida Panthers team in the Stanley Cup Final. Game 1 is set for Saturday.

Claudia Sheinbaum is projected to win Mexico's presidential election and become its first female president in history.

"I will become the first woman president of Mexico," Sheinbaum said at a downtown Mexico City hotel shortly after electoral authorities announced a statistical sample showed she held an irreversible lead, according to the Associated Press. "I don't make it alone. We've all made it, with our heroines who gave us our homeland, with our mothers, our daughters and our granddaughters." 

The former Mexico City mayor said that her two competitors – Xóchitl Gálvez and Jorge Álvarez Máynez – had called her and conceded.  

The National Electoral Institute’s president said Sheinbaum had between 58.3% and 60.7% of the vote, according to a statistical sample. Opposition candidate Gálvez had between 26.6% and 28.6% of the vote and Álvarez Máynez had between 9.9% and 10.8% of the vote. Sheinbaum's Morena party was also projected to hold majorities in both chambers of Congress. 

SHEINBAUM FACES HUGE HURDLES FROM POWERFUL CARTELS

Sheinbaum, the AP reports, will also be the first Jewish leader of the overwhelmingly Catholic country. 

She will start her six-year term on Oct. 1. Mexico’s constitution does not allow reelection. 

The leftist has said she believes the government has a strong role to play in addressing economic inequality and providing a sturdy social safety net, much like her political mentor President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who is also a member of the Morena party. 

"Of course, I congratulate Claudia Sheinbaum with all my respect who ended up the winner by a wide margin," López Obrador said Monday. "She is going to be Mexico’s first (woman) president in 200 years."

The main opposition candidate, Gálvez, a tech entrepreneur and former senator, had promised to take a more aggressive approach toward organized crime. 

In her concession speech, she said, "I want to stress that my recognition (of Sheinbaum's victory) comes with a firm demand for results and solutions to the country's serious problems." 

Julio García, a Mexico City office worker, had told the AP he was voting for the opposition in Mexico City’s central San Rafael neighborhood.  

"They’ve robbed me twice at gunpoint. You have to change direction, change leadership," the 34-year-old was quoted as saying. "Continuing the same way, we're going to become Venezuela."
