Too bad this didn't happen in their inaugural season. Would have been even better.
I remember quite a few in here back then saying how pissed they were that management traded away the future going for it. I disagreed then and if management were here to tell them, I'm sure they'd say we knew what we were doing and be careful doubting this group again.

Heck of an ending in game 4, Vegas held on while Florida had a 6 on 4.

Panthers are done, they had an amazing run that no one saw coming, but they're not coming back from down 3-1, especially now that it's known Tkachuk is injured, he only played 4 shifts last night, don't know how much they'll get from him next game either, the Panthers have won a lot of games in these playoffs while getting outshot and outplayed, they've benefited all postseason from fortunate bounces and lucky breaks, but that's changed in this series, after they hit the post 3 times in game one, I knew the bounces would start going against them, of course anything is possible in sports, but I don't see it happening

Really like the under in game 5, thinking 3-1 type game.

Whitecloud's stick broke too on the final play blocking a shot. How both Tkachuk and then Bennet didn't score to tie it up again is just amazing. If this plays out as expected, no way anyone but the Vegas goaltender wins the MVP.

Panthers need a miracle tonight and some creativity wouldn’t hurt either.
Tonight’s best bet is Mark Stone over 0.5 assists +110 bet365
Stone is the humble leader of the golden knights who arguably turned the team’s whole season around after he returned from a back injury.
Watching carefully, you would notice how Stone is always looking to pass the puck in the offensive zone.
He’s crafting himself as a playmaker more than a goal scorer and his success is evident.
Surprised Marchissault is -600 for the Conn Smythe. Aidin Hill is also very deserving and is +900 at bet365
See you all next year and GL.

It’s amazing that the Boston Bruins, who had I think the best regular season record ever, lost to these guys,
Florida looked like
the whole series.

They're claiming a lot of players were banged up.

I’m sure they were, but they are a physical team. Florida just ran out of gas.

Panthers star Matthew Tkachuk played through fractured sternum before sitting out Game 5
The superstar right wing sustained the injury in the first period of Game 3 on Thursday, scored a game-tying goal in the third period later in the game and then logged 16:40 of time on ice in Game 4 on Saturday before he finally shut himself down for the final game of the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs. “He fractured it,” coach Paul Maurice said. “That was a bit of a problem.”
Tkachuk is one of four players who broke bones during the Panthers’ postseason run, the first-year coach said,
Although he didn’t divulge all the injuries Florida dealt with on the road to the Stanley Cup Final, Maurice did share a few others.
Aaron Ekblad weathered a litany of injuries and only missed one game in the first round. The star defenseman broke a foot in round one, dislocated his shoulder twice, passed a concussion test at another point and tore an oblique muscle.
Defenseman Radko Gudas also sustained a high ankle sprain in Game 3 of the Cup Final
Center Sam Bennett, who missed the first game of the Cup playoffs as he recovered from one injury, sustained another injury in Round 2 and at one point was unable to remove his own shoulder pads after a game with the Maple Leafs.
Some of the Panthers’ injuries will linger into the 2023-23 NHL season. The next regular season will begin in October and some of the injuries will keep players out 4-6 months, Maurice said. “We’re going to have a hell of a time making the playoffs next year. That’s a fact because it’s hard because good teams miss,” the 56-year-old Canadian said. “We’re going to have some players in that locker room that are going to be on our roster, but they will not be in our opening-day lineup and we’re probably talking two or three months. I’ve got some guys who are going to take 4-6 months to heal. They are going to have surgery, so we are going to look different at the start.”
