The best season in franchise history comes to an end. It was a fun ride. See yall in october
I love this team no matter what. Just hope matthew has enough time to heal to be back at the start of next season
That was about the worst way to go out. Fun season, though. Looking forward to next year.
Im so proud of this team
Honestly we were completely outclassed. Beating Bruins, Canes, and Leafs is probably the second best feeling behind the cup.
Gonna repeat what I said in the game thread.
Longtime fan and ticket holder, I remember paying 6 bucks a ticket with free parking to watch Rostislav Olesz skate around.
This run was the most fun I’ve ever had in sports.
Making it to game 103 as an 8 seed. 7 overtime wins. Beating the *best team ever*. Bob’s run. Chucky’s walkoffs.
I got to see us win the ECF with 4.3 seconds left. I got to see us win a Stanley Cup Final game in overtime.
Not how I wanted it to end but this was the greatest Panthers team of all time.
Fuck Mark Stone.
Fun team, fun season. We weren’t even supposed to make the playoffs, still an incredible run. Lots of great memories watching this team and I’m excited to see where we go in the next couple of seasons!
So just about everyone is coming back right?
Wow. Did he just say 123 blocked shots by vegas in these 5 games, but 87 in the prior 18 games? That’s insane. And telling.
What a run for us. Sucks that it ended this way (especially against Vegas) but none of us thought we’d even make it to the playoffs. Eventually rest and injuries caught up with us. Hopefully this moment will be the spark to go far next season.
This has been the most fun I’ve had watching a postseason run by far. Until the end. Absolutely brutal. Was a good ride.
Not how we wanted to have the season end, but remember… we weren’t supposed to be in the playoffs in the first place, let alone make it to the finals!
🐀 Beat Boston 4-3, historic record setting team with 135 points and 65 wins! 🐀
🐀 Beat Toronto 4-1, 4th in the league with 111 points and 50 wins! 🐀
🐀 Swept Carolina 4-0, 2nd in the league with 113 points 52 wins! 🐀
🐀 Won our first game in the Stanley Cup finals! 🐀
Let’s run it back next year!
I guess I’ll be the goody two-shoes one last time, but let’s try and set aside the salt and focus on next year. We got our asses handed to us fair and square. Vegas was the better team, and even though they have some dickweed internet fans that come in here to troll, every fanbase including ours has those unfortunately.
Let’s build up the D and look forward to it being us hoisting the Cup. I’m beyond proud of this team and this postseason run. We will ALWAYS have this. They can never take away coming back 3-1 to knock out the best regular-season team ever in the first round, taking care of the Leafs in 5 while completely silencing their stars, getting our first ever playoffs sweep in the ECF, and finally getting a Finals game win under our belt. What a time it was, and once the pain of this loss subsides I hope we can all look back with smiles on our face over it. Let’s go Cats, forever and always ❤️🐀
Sky is the limit with Barkov and Tkachuk leading the way. Panthers will be back soon enough.
GG Vegas. We were gassed, hurt, and had a delayed start this series. Vegas came in with momentum. Panthers beat incredible teams going into these finals, and I think we could have beat Vegas too but we had too much working against us. Vegas was fresher, more cohesive, and consistent and we were beat. Proud of our boys, thanks for an incredible playoffs. We’ll be back soon.
No more Staals next year, bunch of dead weight and contracts off the books and a full season in PoMos system under our belts? Pretty happy with that season despite the loss. We were not supposed to be here
It’s been a pleasure and an honor to cheese it with you rats, see you in the fall
Canucks fan here, thanks for giving me something to cheer for yall. Heads up boys.
Was a good season and an even better post season. This was the worst way to lose but I’m glad we made it this far when no one would have predicted it. Always going to stand by our Panthers. Until next season. Go cats go!!!
Very appreciative for this run…but I’m still disappointed.
I’m sure I’ll be able to look back at this in a better light in the future tho.
Don’t care Panthers finals win
Not the way I wanted to go out but only 1 team is truly happy. We robbed the Bruins of a historical season in the most humiliating way possible. The comeback cats came through at the most important time. We shoved Toronto back into a media panic (all is good in the world). And we beat the Canes, a team that we were spirited rivals with during the Covid years.
I’m beyond thrilled with this run. This team was a joke most of my life and to see us win at any sort of real level is unreal. The team might not be perfectly built but we have a legit GM who I trust. Never forget the people who said this was a bridge year due to the contract situation. This team is more capable than people think.
MAKE IT MORE OBVIOUS GARY BETTMAN
Bettman’s speech sounds VERY rehearsed….hmmmmmmm
the general sentiment in here was that we were playing with house money after the Boston series. I’m still going to maintain that stance. we went from just barely making the playoffs to winning a SCF game. no one had us picked to be there. after the first three rounds, I genuinely thought we figured it out and this cup was ours. I’m not sure what happened during that ridiculously long rest period between series but we just weren’t the same team that beat BOS, TOR, and CAR.
either way, we were playing with house money, right? let’s fix this roster in the offseason and come back strong next season. we’ll be back, this journey has only just begun.
It was a hell of a ride Comrads. It was a pleasure. 🫡
The real trophies were the friends we made along the way❤️
Zito really needs to focus on getting a better D core for next season. That should be priority. Bob had no help this series.
Repeat but needs to be said:
Well, this may not be the way I wanted to end it. But, we beat one of the best teams in NHL history on a 3-1 deficit, shut down the leafs, absolutely messed with the canes and swept them, and finally won a Stanley cup final game, all as an 8th seed team.
We basically blew everyone’s expectations away. They can’t take that away from us, and this run shows this team has potential to a great team in the NHL.
GG Vegas, and great work to the Panthers. See you next season!
Poor bob.
Thank you so much FLA. Bruins fan here. You extended the hockey season for me with your fun brand of hockey and I fell in love with your team. The ECF was stunning. Game 1 is the best hockey I’ve ever witnessed and is a special memory for me. Respect to the Panthers and you guys are a hockey town too.
