On Wednesday, Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) lost its legal effort to prevent longtime executive Justin Connolly from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/05/45579755/disney-sues-youtube-to-block-hiring-of-former-espn-executive-justin-connolly-amid-sports-streaming-turf-war">leaving the company</a> to join YouTube, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google.
What Happened: Los Angeles Superior Court Judge James Chalfant denied Disney's request for a preliminary injunction and temporary restraining order, which aimed to stop Connolly from transitioning to YouTube, reported Reuters.
Disney had filed a lawsuit last month, claiming Connolly's departure breached his contract and could lead to unfair competition. The company sought to block his new role at YouTube.
"We are disappointed in today&#8217;s ruling, but will continue to pursue our legal remedies," a Disney spokesperson told the publication.

YouTube did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.
Why It's Important: Connolly, who spent more than 20 years at ESPN and Disney, stepped down last month from his role as head of platform distribution.
Previously, Reuters cited sources familiar with the matter stating that Connolly will manage partnerships with major media companies and spearhead the expansion of YouTube&#8217;s live sports offerings.
Price Movement: On Wednesday, Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s Class A shares rose by 1.13%, while Class C shares were up 1%. In contrast, Disney&#8217;s stock dipped by 0.097%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Disney Loses Legal Battle To Block Executive Justin Connolly's Move To Rival YouTube

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk signaled agreement with Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong's warning Wednesday that government overspending could lead to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) replacing the dollar as the reserve currency.
What happened: Armstrong was responding to a post by World of Statistics that highlighted the alarming rise of U.S. federal debt in the last few years. The debt has ballooned to $36.9 trillion in 2025.
"If the electorate doesn&#8217;t hold Congress accountable to reducing the deficit and start paying down the debt, Bitcoin is going to take over as reserve currency," Armstrong said.

Elon Musk, Who Called Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill' A 'Disgusting Abomination,' Responds To Coinbase CEO's Warning That Bitcoin Could Replace Dollar If Congress Isn't Held Accountable

In a 2002 MIT presentation, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) founder Jeff Bezos discussed the surprising success of allowing customers to cancel their own orders.
What Happened: During the talk, Bezos said that to foster innovation, companies need to make experiments affordable. If experiments are expensive, only a few will be able to run them, limiting the potential for innovation.
He gave the example of how Amazon uses A/B testing (a way of comparing two versions of something to see which performs better) as a low-cost way to experiment with new ideas like personalization algorithms. This helps test ideas without huge investments.
The Amazon founder also pointed out that predicting how consumers will behave is tough and can often lead to wasted effort. Rather than debating and speculating, it&#8217;s more effective to try something and observe the outcome.

Amazon did this with features like self-service tools for customers to cancel orders.
Despite internal concerns, Bezos defended the move, saying, "If you give people more control over their environment&#8230; maybe they'll order more."
This bold decision was based on the theory that empowering customers would build trust and drive increased sales. "We couldn't really do a low-cost experiment&#8230; so we just went ahead and built it," Bezos explained.

Why It&#8217;s Important: Amazon currently has a market cap of $2.2 trillion, making it the fourth most valuable company in the world.
Last month, Amazon <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/05/45151230/amazon-q1-earnings-double-beat-q2-guidance-ceo-focuses-on-making-customers-lives-easier-and-better">reported first-quarter net sales</a> of $155.7 billion, marking a 9% year-over-year increase and surpassing the Street consensus estimate of $155.04 billion.
Over the past five years, Amazon shares have gained 66.92%, though they remain down 5.90% year-to-date, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Amazon currently holds a consensus price target of $248.80 based on the ratings of 41 analysts. The highest target, $305, was issued by Tigress Financial on May 6, 2025, while the lowest, $195, came from Raymond James on April 21, 2025.
The three latest analyst ratings by JP Morgan, BofA Securities and Tigress Financial gave it an average price target of $264.33, suggesting a potential upside of 27.64%.

Anthropic is calling the release a major step forward for developer-focused AI, highlighting Claude Opus 4's ability to reason and execute autonomously for several hours, an advancement it says dramatically expands what <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45618210/y-combinator-startup-firecrawl-offers-1m-for-ai-agents-that-blog-code-and-do-customer-support-without-sleeping">AI agents</a> can now accomplish.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">High-End Endurance Meets High-Speed Intelligence</h2>
According to the company, the model recently completed a near-seven-hour uninterrupted coding session with e-commerce giant Rakuten, showcasing levels of performance far beyond Anthropic's previous releases.
While the prior generation, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, could code for roughly 45 minutes, Opus 4 sustained high-functioning output for over six hours, enabling it to assist in complex software builds and long-form projects in real time,<a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/startup-anthropic-says-its-new-ai-model-can-code-hours-time-2025-05-22/"> Reuters</a> reports.
Anthropic chief product officer Mike Krieger described in an interview with Reuters that the launch as a turning point. He said that for AI to significantly boost economic productivity, it must be capable of sustained, autonomous execution, something Opus 4 is now delivering at scale.

The company also unveiled Claude Sonnet 4, a more compact and cost-effective sibling to Opus. Both models were designed to perform a wide range of tasks, including web search, step-by-step reasoning, and long-form dialogue generation. But it's Opus 4's durability and coherence during marathon coding sessions that have drawn the most attention.
Anthropic told<a href="https://www.technologyreview.com/2025/05/22/1117338/anthropics-new-hybrid-ai-model-can-work-on-tasks-autonomously-for-hours-at-a-time/"> MIT Technology Review</a> that it used Opus 4 to autonomously play a 24-hour Pokémon game, which is another demonstration of the model's ability to operate in extended timelines without breakdowns in logic or consistency.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Anthropic Launches Claude Code For Global Developer Integration With GitHub And JetBrains</h2>
To make its capabilities more accessible, Anthropic also announced the general release of Claude Code, a development tool designed for engineers. First previewed in February, the tool allows users to generate, review, and troubleshoot code directly with Claude models, including Opus 4 and Sonnet 4. Developers can now integrate the models into real workflows, from full-stack application design to bug fixes and documentation, Reuters says.
According to Anthropic, Claude Code is now generally available with full integration into developer environments like VS Code, JetBrains, and GitHub. By expanding access to its software development kit and releasing native extensions, the company is positioning the tool for wider use across developer teams and software workflows.

Anthropic's Claude Opus 4 AI, Backed By Google And Amazon, Codes Nonstop For 7 Hours, Redefining Developer Productivity

A federal judge has ordered, on Wednesday, that a group of Venezuelans, deported to a Salvadoran prison, must be provided with a legal channel to challenge the accusations made by the Trump administration that they are gang members.
What Happened: U.S. District Judge James Boasberg did not lay out the specific measures the administration should take, but mandated them to propose a plan within a week, <a href="https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/5333555-venezuelans-deported-prison-judge-ruling/">reported</a> The Hill. While acknowledging potential diplomatic or national-security implications, Boasberg stressed the constitutional obligation of the administration to offer a remedy for the perceived injustice.
The Trump administration has maintained that they cannot&nbsp;secure the return of anyone&nbsp;detained&nbsp;at CECOT, a notorious Salvadoran&nbsp;prison. Salvadoran President&nbsp;Nayib Bukele&nbsp;has also refused to repatriate any mistakenly deported individual&nbsp;sent to the facility under&nbsp;regular immigration authorities.
Boasberg&#8217;s ruling was influenced by the lack of transparency and due process afforded to the Venezuelans during their deportation. The judge compared the situation to a scene from Franz Kafka&#8217;s novel &#8220;The Trial,&#8221; where the deported Venezuelans were given scant information about their impending transfer.
The Venezuelans were deported on March 15, shortly after President Donald Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act, a law previously used only during declared wars. Boasberg pointed to evidence suggesting that many of the deported Venezuelans have no gang affiliation and are languishing in a foreign prison based on flimsy accusations.
The ruling is part of a larger legal battle involving the Trump administration&#8217;s&nbsp;use of the Alien Enemies&nbsp;Act, which has resulted in&nbsp;more than a dozen lawsuits&nbsp;across the country.
See Next: <a href="https://benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45766354/bernie-sanders-warns-saying-trump-is-dangerous-is-not-enough-vows-to-take-on-billionaires-fight-for" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bernie Sanders Warns &#8216;Saying Trump Is Dangerous Is Not Enough,&#8217; Vows To &#8216;Take On&#8217; Billionaires, Fight For Working People And Resist Movement Towards &#8216;Authoritarianism&#8217;</a>
Why It Matters: This ruling comes amidst a series of legal battles and policy changes that have affected Venezuelans in the US.

Venezuelans Deported By Trump Administration Under Alien Enemy Act  Must Be Allowed Legal Challenge To Contest Gang Accusations, Judge Calls Situation Kafkaesque

A Reddit post from a self-described seasoned manager sparked a wave of frustration last week after they complained about a top employee who no longer seems as engaged at work.&nbsp;
The post, shared in the <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/managers/comments/1kw0cm0/star_performer_losing_interest_in_the_job/">r/managers</a> subreddit, described the &#8220;star performer&#8221; as showing a &#8220;laid back attitude,&#8221; arriving late to meetings, and needing follow-ups to complete tasks. &#8220;They try to convince me that they are looking for a promotion but I don't see that in action,&#8221; the manager wrote.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">People Say the Manager Missed The Bigger Picture</h2>
What caught the ire of many was the manager&#8217;s comment: &#8220;I have visibility of their calendar and they aren't overworked at all.&#8221; Dozens of commenters saw this as out-of-touch and dismissive.
One person wrote, &#8220;A calendar only shows scheduled meetings. If that is their job, to sit in meetings and do nothing else, then OP is right about them not being heavily loaded.&#8221;
Another put it more bluntly: &#8220;WTF is that about? Non-meeting time is when people get sh&#x2A;t done. You have no idea how busy he is.&#8221;
The manager said they were pushing for a promotion for the employee but were reconsidering after noticing the drop in enthusiasm. That logic didn't sit well either. &#8220;You called them your &#8216;star performer&#8217; but still expect them to do more for a promotion?!?!&#8221; one person asked.

Many others chimed in with personal stories of being high performers, only to be passed over, underpaid, or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/11/41811635/rent-soars-pay-lags-why-millions-are-working-50-hours-just-to-afford-housing-according-to-new-report">burdened with extra work</a> while coworkers did far less: &#8220;My reward for a job well done was&#8230; a 3% raise, and more work.&#8221;&nbsp;
Another summed it up this way: &#8220;Star performers become tired of being star performers when they're over-managed and underpaid.&#8221;
Another wrote, &#8220;This is what happened in my last role. When I got another job and gave notice they tried to match the offer. No go.&#8221;
Several said the worker in question is likely already <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43425534/linkedin-and-indeed-are-finally-holding-employers-accountable-new-ai-tools-will-show-job-seekers-their-chances-of-getting-a-response">job hunting</a>. &#8220;You&#8217;re going to lose this employee,&#8221; one person warned. Others echoed that it&#8217;s probably too late to fix the situation without a significant change: &#8220;You should have taken care of the star while they were shining. They are now burnt out and [unrewarded].&#8221;

The thread also surfaced common frustrations around workplace inequality. One user said, &#8220;I perform minor miracles at my job, and not a word of thanks&#8230; Somebody else documents a simple process, and they're treated like the Second Coming.&#8221;
As for the solution, many advised the manager to talk directly to the employee, figure out what they want, and act fast. Otherwise, they argued, the company is set to lose a valuable employee who simply got tired of giving 110% for a 3% raise.

A man called into &#8220;<a href="https://x.com/DaveRamsey/status/1928102099130208337">The Ramsey Show</a>&#8221; with a confession: he&#8217;s been married for five years, and his wife has no idea that they&#8217;re secretly worth millions of dollars.
&#8220;I'm the saver and she's the spender,&#8221; the caller explained. &#8220;I have been working very hard, working my job and my business just to grow to where we are. And I am not sure whether I should ever disclose our net worth to her because I do not know how she's going to react.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ramsey&#8217;s Response</h2>
Dave Ramsey, a personal finance expert and radio host known for his no-nonsense advice, was stunned and immediately asked, &#8220;Are you from another culture?&#8221; After the caller explained he was born in South Korea but raised in San Jose, California, by immigrant parents, Ramsey replied, &#8220;Because in Anglo-America, what you just described, as you probably realize, is pretty whacked.&#8221;
The caller insisted that he handles all the finances, and that keeping their wealth a secret is tied to his wife's spending habits. Ramsey wasn't buying it.
&#8220;You've been married to her for five years and sleeping with her for five years. She didn't know you got any money. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42420115/nondisclosure-is-lying-says-dave-ramsey-advising-couples-to-fully-disclose-finances-before-tying-the-knot">That's deception</a>,&#8221; Ramsey said bluntly.
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/this-ai-imaging-technology-has-been-used-in-more-than-500-surgeries-now-you-can-be-part-of-the-ai-imaging-revolution">Be part of the next med-tech breakthrough for only $350 — 500+ surgeries already done with nView's AI system.</a>
Even as the caller tried to frame the issue around different money personalities—he's a minimalist, she's a free spirit—Ramsey brought it back to what he saw as the real problem: lying.
&#8220;Honey, you're not listening. You keep deflecting every time I bring this at you. You have deceived your wife actively. She's not going to be cool with that. You hear that?&#8221;
The caller admitted he feared his wife would be upset and possibly scared by the news. Ramsey said that fear is probably why he kept the secret in the first place.
&#8220;You're scared she's going to go spend all your money, which is the reason you lied to her in the first place,&#8221; he said.
Ramsey emphasized that a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42514449/dave-ramsey-says-his-wife-wanted-to-leave-him-but-she-didnt-have-a-car-hitting-rock-bottom-financially-almost-ended-his-marriage">strong marriage is worth more than money</a>. &#8220;I value a quality marriage and relationship going into my old age because we've now been married almost 43 years. I value that more than money. You don't. So I'm having trouble connecting with you on this.&#8221;
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.
Toward the end of the call, Ramsey acknowledged the cultural influence but didn't let the caller off the hook.
&#8220;I'm just the older guy sitting over here going, okay, you brought some culture into this where the guy's in charge and the lady doesn't have any say or any vote, especially if she's the spender. And so all of that combined with your nerd-like paranoia has led you to this deception.&#8221;
Ramsey&#8217;s final warning was that this is not going to end well. The longer he puts this off, the worse this is going to get. &#8220;This is a weird thing you've done and you need to own that.&#8221;

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) launched a new team within its consumer R&amp;D division to focus on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/entertainment/25/06/45782841/sam-altmans-2023-openai-ouster-becoming-a-movie-could-former-spider-man-play-him">agentic artificial intelligence. </a>
The Details: The agentic AI group will operate out of Lab126, Amazon's secretive Silicon Valley unit known for creating the Kindle, Echo and other flagship devices, according to<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/04/amazons-rd-lab-forms-new-agentic-ai-group.html"> CNBC</a>. 
As more tech firms move beyond generative AI toward autonomous agents, Amazon is developing systems that can handle complex, multistep tasks on behalf of users — far surpassing traditional chatbots.

The new team aims to build an agentic AI framework specifically for robotics, often described as "physical AI." These systems will allow robots to interpret and respond to natural language commands.
Earlier this year, Amazon's AI lab released a browser-based agent, and its cloud division has also set up a separate agentic AI team. In March, Amazon rolled out Alexa+, an upgraded voice assistant with expected agentic features.
Why It Matters: Analysts at BofA Securities on Monday named Amazon as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/price-target/25/06/45727360/amazon-analyst-sees-robotics-unlocking-billions-in-savings">leader in AI </a>and robotics. The firm emphasized that Amazon is still early in its robotics optimization cycle. 
BofA analyst Justin Post reaffirmed a Buy rating on Amazon stock, raising the price target from $230 to $248, citing strengthened competitive positioning and improved profitability from ongoing AI and robotics investments.
Agentic AI is quickly becoming a core driver of enterprise automation and digital transformation. Amazon joins other tech giants including Salesforce and Microsoft in the agentic AI space.

Amazon Launches New Agentic AI Group To Boost Robotics, Enhance User Interactions

Musician Taylor Swift celebrated a recent win with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/05/45708811/taylor-swift-reclaims-ownership-of-her-first-6-albums-from-scooter-braun-all-of-the-music-ive-ever-made-now-belongs-to-me">buying back</a> her old albums previously owned outside of her control.
With the new ownership, streams of old Swift songs have soared, helping boost traffic for Spotify Technology (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>).
What Happened: Swift fans are celebrating the news that she has the rights to all of her albums by listening to old songs, a move that could help her be the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/12/42325116/2024-was-worlds-taylor-swift-era-once-again-spotify-reveals-top-artists-songs-albums-podcasts">most-streamed artist</a> on Spotify for a third straight year.
The original six Big Machine albums, once owned by Scooter Braun and later owned by Shamrock Holdings, have mostly been off limits for Swift fans, who were encouraged by Swift to not listen to or buy them.
Swift re-released several of her old albums under the "Taylor's Version" label, which included some previously unreleased songs along with re-recordings of songs from the albums. This allowed Swift to dilute the power of the old albums, then collect royalties and have ownership of the newly recorded songs.
After the singer&#8217;s announcement, streams of Swift's original Big Machine albums increased 110% to 430% per album, according to data from Luminate, as shared by Variety.
On Friday, Swift's entire catalog saw a 55.1% increase in plays compared to her daily average with 30.64 million streams in one day.
Per Spotify data, "Speak Now" was the biggest gainer with a 430% increase in global streams on Friday. "Taylor Swift" saw a 220% jump in global streams with "Reputation" ranking third, with Spotify streams up 160%.

Why It's Important: The early data from Spotify could suggest Swift's old albums could find their way back into the Billboard 200 chart.
Swift released six albums under Big Machine and re-recorded four of them. Since that time, Swift has released albums with Republic Records, which is a unit of Universal Music Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UMGNF#OTC">UMGNF</a>)(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNVGY#OTC">UNVGY</a>). Universal could also get a boost with overall listening of Swift songs up in recent days.
Spotify is likely a winner from the Swift news with fans flocking to the platform to quickly get access to all the singer's albums.
Swift was the top-streamed global artist and top-streamed artist in the U.S. in 2024. The singer had one song in the top 10 globally and three of the top 10 streamed albums globally, including number one, "The Tortured Poets Department"; number six, "1989 (Taylor's Version)" and number eight, "Lover."
For Spotify U.S. users, "The Tortured Poets Department" and "1989 (Taylor's Version)" ranked first and 10th, respectively, for 2024 streaming.
SPOT Price Action: Spotify stock hit new 52-week highs of $708.19 on Wednesday before closing the trading session up 4.47% at $701.08. Spotify stock is up 56.7% year-to-date in 2025 and up over 114% in the last year.

Spotify Early Winner From Taylor Swift Buying Back Old Albums: A 'Love Story' For Fans, Streaming Company

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is calling out America&#8217;s wealthiest and most powerful, saying that a new kind of billionaire class sees itself as inherently superior.&nbsp;
In a wide-ranging interview on the &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbWVbQQwWJo">Flagrant</a>&#8221; podcast, Sanders took aim at everything from campaign spending deregulation and corruption to healthcare, education and the future of the Democratic Party.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">&#8216;Superior Human Beings&#8217; And A Broken System</h2>
&#8220;There is a new breed of uber capitalists out there who really believe, and they write about this as well, that they are superior human beings,&#8221; Sanders told the podcast hosts Andrew Schulz and Akaash Singh. He said many of today's billionaires view themselves not only as financially successful but as more deserving of power.&nbsp;

</ul>
Sanders continued, explaining there was &#8220;writing on the right, on the far right, which really diminishes democracy, and that really the smart and the wealthy and the powerful have the right to rule.&#8221;
Sanders pointed out that this mindset reflects an old worldview dressed up in new clothes. &#8220;Back in the 19th century&#8230; I am the king, God made my family king&#8230; Sorry you&#8217;re starving to death but that&#8217;s the way life goes,&#8221; he said. &#8220;God told me my family rules.&#8221;
Schulz noted a trend among the ultra-wealthy: they often pledge to give away their fortunes late in life. &#8220;Upon their death, a lot of them have decided to give away their money,&#8221; he said. &#8220;As they get closer to death, they're like, ‘Our goal is to give away all our money,' which seems to tell me that they think that there is an issue with them having all that money.&#8221;&nbsp;

Sanders emphasized that Americans are paying more for less across key services. &#8220;We are spending twice as much per person on healthcare as most of the European countries,&#8221; he said, adding that tens of thousands die every year because they <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/02/43662970/mark-cuban-says-u-s-healthcare-is-horrific-calls-for-free-medical-school-to-fix-doctor-shortages-and-soaring-costs">can&#8217;t afford medical care</a>.

He also mentioned the U.S. treats child care and education as afterthoughts while claiming to love kids. &#8220;We pay child care workers McDonald&#8217;s wages,&#8221; Sanders said.
While he confirmed he won&#8217;t run for president again, Sanders said the work is far from over. He sees hope in a growing movement of younger politicians, many of whom refuse corporate political action committee money. He said there are dozens in the House now who are standing up for the working class, citing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and others.

If You Invested $100 In This Stock 20 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

Hockey is the top sport in Canada, and the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/nhl" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> National Hockey League</a> reigns supreme among professional sports leagues. Seven Canadian teams compete in the league for the coveted Stanley Cup trophy.
After a 30+ year drought of no Stanley Cups, Canada is four wins away from seeing a championship return to the country.
What Happened: Canada beat the United States in the 4 Nations Face-Off challenge in February, winning the championship game, which gained increased significance with U.S. President Donald Trump calling for Canada to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42300450/trump-told-trudeau-canada-could-avoid-tariffs-by-becoming-51st-state-a-look-at-sectors-trade-war-could-impact">become the 51st state.</a>
After Canada's win, then-Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau poked fun at Trump.
"You can't take our country – and you can't take our game," Trudeau <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/world/canada/trudeau-trump-hockey-canada-us-feud.html">tweeted</a>.
While Trudeau may have been correct about the international tournament, he wasn't entirely truthful about Canada's "game."
Hockey may be the most loved sport in Canada, but the last time a team from the country won the Stanley Cup was in 1993, when the Montreal Canadiens won the championship.
In last year's NHL Playoffs, around 75% of the current NHL players were not born the last time a Canadian team won a Stanley Cup, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.espn.com/nhl/insider/story/_/id/39815401/canada-stanley-cup-playoffs-drought-end-vancouver-edmonton-winnipeg-toronto" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ESPN</a>. About 3% of NHL players today were five years old or older and likely able to remember a Canadian team winning the cup.
Since the Canadiens won the Stanley Cup in 1993, there have been 15 U.S teams to win the championship.
History shows that Canadian teams still rank among the all-time best in NHL and Stanley Cup history. The Canadiens rank first with 23 Stanley Cup wins. Ranking second is also a Canadian team, with the Maple Leafs winning 13 Stanley Cups. The Edmonton Oilers rank sixth all-time with five Stanley Cup wins.
Canada had five of their seven NHL teams make the 2024-2025 NHL Playoffs, and one remains with a chance to end the drought.

2025 Stanley Cup Matchup: For the second straight season, the Oilers and Florida Panthers meet in the Stanley Cup Finals. Last season saw the Panthers win their first championship in franchise history beating the Oilers in seven games of the best-of-seven series.
NHL history has witnessed several back-to-back Stanley Cup final matchups, and in many cases, the team that lost the first year ends up winning a championship the following season in the rematch.
The best-of-seven series kicks off Wednesday, June 4, with television coverage of the entire series belonging to Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>). Games all start at 8 p.m. ET and will be available to watch on TNT, truTV and to stream on Max.
Here is the schedule:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Wednesday, June 4 in Edmonton</li>
<li>Friday, June 6 in Edmonton</li>
<li>Monday, June 9 in Florida</li>
<li>Thursday, June 12 in Florida</li>
<li>Saturday, June 14 in Edmonton (if necessary)</li>
<li>Tuesday, June 17 in Florida (if necessary)</li>
<li>Friday, June 20 in Edmonton (if necessary)</li>
</ul>
Television viewership for Warner Bros. Discovery's coverage of the games has <a href="https://awfulannouncing.com/nhl/stanley-cup-playoffs-sharp-us-ratings-decline-through-conference-finals.html">averaged </a>947,000 through the conference finals, down 20% year-over-year. NHL Playoffs coverage by Walt Disney Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) unit ESPN has averaged 966,000 viewers, down 31% year-over-year.
Having many Canadian teams in the playoffs may be hurting U.S. viewership, but it could also benefit Rogers Communications (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCI#NYSE">RCI</a>), which has rights in Canada. NHL Playoffs viewership is averaging 1.97 million viewers in Canada, up 21% year over year.
Stanley Cup Betting Odds: The betting markets favor the Oilers in the series slightly with sportsbook DraftKings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>) listing odds at -120 for the Oilers and +100 for the Panthers.
On the prediction market, <a href="https://kalshi.com/markets/kxnhl/stanley-cup" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kalshi, </a>the odds are 55% for the Oilers and 45% for the Panthers.

Users can bet on individual games and the series&#8217; exact results. Kalshi users predict the series will go six or seven games, with Edmonton winning 4-2 and Florida winning 4-3 ranking second at 20% and Edmonton winning 4-3 the top pick at 21% of wagers.
On prediction market <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/stanley-cup-winner?tid=1749071639278">Polymarket</a>, the Oilers are listed as the favorite at 53% with the Panthers given odds of 48% to win the Stanley Cup.
