Part of why I love this team so much is their traditional playoff hockey style. It’s so fun to watch the physicality and relentless forecheck. We are finally CUP CHAMPIONS!!
Congratulations Florida you are our 2024 Stanley Cup champion!! *Crowd goes wild* *One fan chugs a beer* *A man lights up firework on a crocodile* *A fan stabbed his friend a coffee machine by accident* Welcome to Florida.
Couldn’t agree more. I had no skin in the game and I’m not particularly fond of either team, but I found myself rooting for both of them at certain points. Both stories are great.
Man Evan Rodriguez was the biggest off season trade they made! He was critical for them to winning the cup! Game 7 he made a huge assist on the first goal!
Getting Forsling (for nothing) is probably Zito’s greatest accomplishment imo, along with compiling a team that consist mostly of players that would prove to be incredibly undervalued. Been saying for a long time that Forsling is the most underrated d man in the league. Nice to see he finally is starting to get at least some recognition from around the league.

Yes he did and all Oilers fans say if McDavid was playing injured and Florida was playing dirty along with refs favoring Panthers 😂. No one said anything another panthers last year when whole team was injured and lost again Vegas. Na they came back and won the cup!!! 🐈 🏆💪
@@michaelcarson121 Health is one of the biggest factors in winning the Stanley Cup. I've seen my Bolts win a Cup they probably shouldn't have (2004) and lose one they should have won (2015) due to their overall team health. I think last year's Panthers team was ready to win, and would have if not for their injury woes. However, I'm not a fan of this being used as an excuse for loss. It is a part of the game and always will be.
Best defender vs best offensive player. Couple games he worked, couple he didn't have as much success. Not very much middle ground for either this series.
@@boltinabottle6307 I'm fully aware that health plays an important factor and yes I'm aware the Panthers were injured last year. I was talking about Oiler fans saying that's why they lost the cup 🏆 yet when other teams have injuries you don't hear any excuses. Not for nothing but every player in the league is injured at this point in the season. Hockey 🏒 is a rough sport and play 82 games plus playoffs so lots of injuries happen.
Florida did not make it easy on themselves but they got the job done. Nobody can say it wasnt close though. Right down to the wire nothing is closer than a game 7 decided by 1 goal. The two teams put on one of the weirdest and most entertaining series ever!
@manzac112 the logo is no longer new. And it's now THEE PANTHERS CHAMPIONAGIP LOGO. it is regal, it is strong and not a cartoon, that was cute but it's most definitely the past and retro jersey nights
Big Time For Panthers Fans I can’t describe the Feeling of our first Cup , I still don’t believe our team got the Job Done in the ReDemption Season 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I’m so Proud LFG!!!!!❤
I love it when a plan finally comes together...lol..great group of players, coaches,and management... it's so rewarding as a fan since the beginning,to see the success finally.. GO CATS
lowkey kind of expected the video to go in depth into the background of how they built the team though the years by drafting key players like ekblad,hub,barkov etc. who they got though trades and such. the video kind of jumps into them already being good when they were near or at the bottom for a lot of years, it took time for them to become champions.
Mc chicken had 2 good games. Bob was a wall in the 4 games that won is the championship. Everyone knows Bob got robbed of an mvp! Mc chicken didnt deserve shit. No body cares about 2nd place losers.
I feel like Ekblad doesn't get enough credit. He's a player that can fill any position on the ice under any playstyle. He is so versatile for the Panthers and I can't wait to watch how these guys do in 2025.

They were always on a come years ago beforehand i always said they will win the cup
Also the way they turn scraps into legit nhlers. They claimed Forsling off waivers and turned him into a top nhl dman, they turned Verhaghe into a top line winger, and they revived Sam Bennetts career. They’ve also brought out another level of Montour and Reinhardt games.
Если в других командах одна или две звезды, то во "Флориде Пантерс" каждый игрок звезда, каждый игрок может создать момент, передать пас и забить гол......вот и результат, элитный вратарь в воротах и отличная команда игроков и конечно же Билл Зито и Пол Морис, отличные менеджер и тренер ......взяли Кубок Стэнли!!!!ПОЗДРАВЛЯЮ!!!!!!
Its just such a perfect combination the Panthers has. Barkov makes players shine and having those playoff specialists in the team around him. And Bob at the net. What a tough nut to crack in 2025.
The Panthers 2 best players, star goalie and top pair d-men dont have an ounce of ego between them, add that to the ridiculous talent and work ethic they have and you've got a rock solid foundation. Full buy in from everyone on the team is what sets them apart, every guy on that roster would go through hell and back for the rest of their teammates.
Zito, Maurice, Barkov, Bob, Chucky, too many to named... This team has been built to last for a long time. Well rounded skill in all ends of the ice and excellent depth thinking with strudy way of play. Yeah. FLA is now the top of the charts. :)
Mini-Barkov will be the single biggest reason Panthers will stay as contenders the next ~5 years. That is extremely young player with ridiculously good set of defensive skills with only 5M cap hit.
Not sure why the reference "first ever cup to Florida"? Tampa Bay has been winning too many Cups, bringing the Cup to Florida before the Panthers did...

Bro idc about the last 3 years, I thought this was going to be like a 7 or 8 year highlight of the timeline, draft picks, tough decisions, and more. I can remember the last 3 years, I don't need this bozo to remind me. Go farther back and do more analysis in these videos
Greatest NHL final in resent times even though I might be alittle biased. Just some feed back on the video. Don't be afraid to use your voice. It felt like you read it off bit too much off the script. Just by showing a little more enthusiasm and your personality while reading the script gives the commentary more "life", and makes it way more enjoyable to listen to. It's easier to get excited and invested in the video when the commentator sounds more iterested in whatever he's reading.
they got lucky at the right time with the right trades, some of those players picked up were not performing well and they just picked up, it takes so much luck and timing to get it right to win and panthers pulled it off this year, so its gratz to them. I personally don't think they make the finals next year, not because of talent, but having things go well enough for 3 years to make the finals in a row the odds are super low.
That’s called identifying talent and recognizing it’s not working somewhere else but could work within your organization. Luck sure is a factor in all sports but I believe you work for your breaks. It takes mainly a lot of work and belief. They didn’t make finals 3 years in a row. But they did go back to back years. With a short offseason, I would also be surprised if they made it back. They’ve played a ton of grueling hockey in the last two years. Regardless, I’m super super happy for the fans down here. Here’s to hoping my Capitals have a big offseason though.
@@anthonybermudez1152people would have lost hope that they could ever win the cup. I don’t know that it would have actually folded. They have tons of support down here, but it would have been a massive black mark after a few seasons of building up

@@jimedge8301 that’s purely your opinion.

@@casewojo6186 Thats not what my Math teacher told me!
Barkov did literally zero mistakes all playoffs, dude is the most solid player.
The most exciting NHL Final in my lifetime. I maybe a little biased
The last week was too much for my heartbas FLA fan
It was a crazy storyline and put huge pressure on both sides!
Couldn’t agree more. I had no skin in the game and I’m not particularly fond of either team, but I found myself rooting for both of them at certain points. Both stories are great.
they took the gamble all the way back in 2019 with signing Bob for 7 years and 70 million and it paid off
Man Evan Rodriguez was the biggest off season trade they made! He was critical for them to winning the cup! Game 7 he made a huge assist on the first goal!
Big addition but he was a free agent not a trade. They did have to trade Duclair to open up enough cap room to sign him.
да испанец отлично сыграл в плей-офф......талантливый парень
He was really impressive. Excellent in that SCF game 2.

The Panthers have been to the Stanley cup 3 times in there short history, they finally won and we love them in Fort Lauderdale
Barky totally shut down mcD in games 6 and 7, when the game was really on the line..one of the best 3rd lines in the league all season, too.
Yes he did and all Oilers fans say if McDavid was playing injured and Florida was playing dirty along with refs favoring Panthers 😂. No one said anything another panthers last year when whole team was injured and lost again Vegas. Na they came back and won the cup!!! 🐈 🏆💪
Luostarinen Lundell Tarasenko the best third line in hockey. No actually proven. They've been great

They saw what was happening right up the road in Tampa and copied their blueprint almost exactly. Like it or not Florida is the state of hockey now!
Agreed you’d never think it but it’s the truth

So many, many superb player in Panthers roster this year, but Captain Barkov ..wow!
Lundell up for a pay raise. That third line has been stellar. Best in the league. Don't allow much goals and provides offense
And Mikkola was such a good signing
He just signed 6x5 million
Now Panthers, bring back the Leaping Cat.
Better jersey fo sho
YES! And not the new looking one. The OG
