Florida Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky hoists the Stanley Cup after they defeated the Edmonton Oilers, 2-1, in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final on Monday night in Sunrise, Fla. SUNRISE, Fla. — There was no collapse. The Florida Panthers are Stanley Cup champions for the first time, and they took about the hardest path possible to the title.
McDavid won the Conn Smythe as MVP of the Stanley Cup playoffs. He didn’t come out for the trophy. It’s not the one he wanted, anyway. The Cup is what they play for, and it was Florida that hoisted it. South Florida now has one of everything when it comes to titles from the four major pro sports leagues in the U.S. The Miami Dolphins were champions twice, the then-Florida Marlins were champions twice, the Miami Heat have three titles and now the Panthers have joined the party.Bobrovsky was as cool as could be, even in the biggest moments.
It stayed that way through wild ebbs and flows – the Oilers controlled long stretches, the Panthers would counter, back and forth – until Reinhart scored late in the second to put Florida ahead, 2-1. It capped a crazy sequence, one where Florida defenseman Dmitry Kulikov wound up in the net to help prevent an Edmonton goal seconds before Reinhart beat Skinner. The goal was Reinhart’s 67th of the season, extending his Florida single-season record, and it was up to the Panthers to make it hold up.
