The 2007 Stanley Cup finals will feature the Eastern Conference champions Ottawa Senators, and the Western Conference champions Anaheim Ducks. It will be the first finals for the modern day Senators since joining the NHL in 1992. The Ottawa Senators last made the finals in 1927. Anaheim is making their second appearance in the Finals, having lost in the 2003 Stanley Cup Finals to the New Jersey Devils.

The 2007 Finals will mark the third straight year a Canadian based franchise is playing against a franchise based in the U.S. sunbelt. It will also mark the first time a team captain from Europe has made the finals, as Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson is from Sweden.
