Panthers make two-in-a-row burying the Oilers for Lord Stanley's Cup and that is the end of this season.
I basically called this, and it really wasn't even close. Idk how the Oilers even got to game 6. Florida set the Nhl record for time led in a Cup Final. This should've been over in 4 or 5 games if we're being real.

That's a potential dynasty in the making down there in Florida. Many of their best players are right in their prime too. I don't expect them to just stop winning anytime soon.

I have heard this somewhere before...hmmmmm

I mean, they address it in the article itself. Barkov was a #2 pick. Ekblad a #1 pick. And they got Tkachuk by trading Huberdeau who was a #3 pick.

They can title the article however they want. The Panthers wouldn't be anywhere close to who they are without those 3 top 5 picks.

I don't either, Maverick. We may see the Panthers do the first Three-Peat in modern Hockey or be the Fourth team to win multiple cups past 1964 and 1983.

I think everyone on here can agree Evander Kane is a huge douchebag for skipping the handshake line.:finger2:
Actually, while I agree with the douchebag sentiment, he was off the ice for a game misconduct and couldn't return, I did hear he went and congratulated them in the locker room or some such shit. But yea I still think he's an over rated douche!

Didn’t they basically dump their core on Vegas at their expansion “draft” ? If so, how in the world was Florida able to populate two Stanley cup winning teams ?

They've done a little bit of everything, really. Some great draft picks (top 5, yes), some great trades and some great free agent signings. It's almost unfair, at this point. They are back to back Cup Champs, have no state income tax and you're living right near Miami. So, they probably can sign whoever they want in free agency or trade for whoever they want at the deadline because everyone wants to go there. That and any of the players that they want to re-sign will probably take the hometown discount to stay.

We have absolutely none of that going for us in Philly.
