Florida advances to the finals and that makes it 6th straight years of a Florida team in the Stanley Cup finals

Fuck yeah
Go cats!
Skinner’s frantically padding the back of his helmet in anticipation of having to play vs bennet
Should be played at olympic summer games since only sunny teams wins these days.
🍆
Refs made sure of this
Just a coincidence, I’m sure
It’s almost like having no state tax is a huge advantage for teams.
6th straight years, well I’ll be damned
to be joined by the oilers tomorrow night
Man can we hire the Beach as our GM? He’s way too good!
Hockey is a sun belt sport
I haven’t hated a team as much as I hate Florida since the devils were running the neutral zone trap
Those Florida winters man, theyre so grueling you gotta be a champ to make it through one
how fun
The Kansas City Chiefs of hockey
Calling it now. Gretzky is a Panthers fan.
State of Hockey
Is there anyone who isn’t a Florida fan who is cheering for them to win over Edmonton (or Dallas)? Because I’m pretty sure everyone NOT in Miami hates the fuck out of this team. lol
Feels good to be back!!!
Buttman will claim this as his victory.
To whomever said I was premature in saying the Panthers would make it after game 1 of the ECF, suck it! lol Jk
Hockey being Florida’s best sport in this decade was something I did not see coming
Tampa fans riding these coattails all the way
6 on 4 to end it was INTENSE!
Holy shit I just realized that and that’s wild.
So, not a Panthers fan, but the thing that I’ve gotta give props on is conditioning. Except for a couple of off periods, these guys haven’t slowed down at all. They are first to pucks, always skating toward the play, never waiting for it to come to them. While the dirty shit is definitely there (that takes energy too), this is the biggest difference I’ve seen between them and every team they’ve been up against. Other teams look ready for golf by comparison.
Would LOVE to know what was being said during the Coaches exchange. Looked spicy
That Bennett EN goal was just so cruel!! The one person you wish/thought would get punished … scores on an open net!!
Apparently an income tax free state is an OP strategy for attracting quality free agents to sign with you.
When I was in Florida for the Pens second Stanley Cup, I had to bribe the bartender to put on the hockey finals and I overheard, “Hockey, who the hell’s watching hockey?” Back then Floridians thought ice was for drinks. Now, the Sunshine State rules the ice.
Yea it’s all rigged gotta keep those fans coming 5 years ago no one went to the games
Alberta did it better. 1983 right through to 1990.
Also alberta only lost 2 cups in that span
I wonder at what point it stops being good for the sport of hockey. I can imagine the hype isnt in southern Florida this year like earlier after two previous finals. The world wont tune in to see them win again. There are other places that need some hockey hype, like Carolina.
Maybe even Buttman is getting tired of Floridas dominance
There is one Floridian on the Panthers – a thirty something borderline AHL player who played in 8 games this season.
I hate Florida so much.
Puke
The league clearly wants this. Pretty easy to do it when the league cheats for them to make it.
Florida is good but man dirty fucking team. Bennett tried to elbow Anderson blatantly in the head…just like prior round.
Too bad the league doesn’t get more aggressive about this kind of just absolute bullshit.
What a terrible timeline we live in.
Just like Bettman wants it.
There’s the Carolina we all know and love
Look at him sitting there. He is so smug!
Muh traditional Canadian market!!!! Muh life style, muh sport tainted by the lazy American… It’s over….
I wished the Leafs were still playing. They were this close!
How many Canadians visiting Florida these days? How many selling their vacation properties? 2026 going to be interesting.
Its almost like the FLA ~15% tax advantage is doing something. Hmm…
