The Florida Panthers have won the Stanley Cup for the first time in the franchise’s 30-season history, sealing the deal with a 2-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final on Monday at Amerant Bank Arena.
By Jordan McPherson, Miami HeraldFlorida Panthers center Sam Reinhart celerbates his goal with teammates Aleksander Barkov and Oliver Ekman-Larsson during the second period of Game 7 of the NHL Stanley Cup Final at the Amerant Bank Arena on Monday, June 24, 2024 in Sunrise, Fla. The Florida Panthers were up 2-1 at the end of the period.
Two of its stars that were quiet for most of the series in Carter Verhaeghe and Sam Reinhart scored goals.Veteran defenseman Dmitry Kulikov, who spent his first seven of 15 NHL seasons with the Panthers before returning to Florida this season, saved a game-tying goal late in the second period by clearing a puck as he crashed to the net. That play set up Reinhart’s go-ahead goal.With that, it ends one of the longest droughts for an NHL franchise before winning its first Stanley Cup.
The Panthers are also the final of South Florida’s big-four professional sports teams to win a championship. The Miami Dolphins won Super Bowls in 1972 and 1973. The Marlins won World Series in 1997 and 2003. The Miami Heat won NBA championships in 2006, 2012 and 2013. Or Matthew Tkachuk, the brash star winger who the Panthers acquired ahead of the 2022-23 season to give them a player with the combination of tenacity, skill and edge the team was sorely lacking.
They won with their depth. They won with their togetherness. They won with a belief that, no matter what happens, they can overcome whatever situation is thrown their way.
