"THIS is how you montage NHL": Fans react as Linkin Park features in Ice-Shattering Stanley Cup Final promo. 

Linkin Park’s song “Heavy Is the Crown” is used in the promo video for the 2025 NHL Stanley Cup Final. Heavy is the Crown, which is part of their recent album, From Zero, is also an anthem of the 2024 League of Legends and was played in the UCL finals a couple of days back.

On June 4, the NHL posted the promo video, which was creatively shot with the Stanley Cup underwater and the band's concert going on on the ice. The 2025 Stanley Cup Final is a rematch between the Florida Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers. The series started on June 4 and follows a best-of-seven format.
