The Panthers won the best-of-seven game series 4 to 3 in what many have already considered one of the best Stanley Cup Finals in NHL history. It was the franchise’s first-ever Stanley Cup since it began playing in the NHL during the 1993-1994 season. The Panthers were runners-up in 2023 after losing to the Las Vegas Golden Knights.
Florida’s journey to victory was not easy. They won the first three games of the series and looked like they could potentially sweep the Oilers. However, Edmonton stormed back and won the next three games, a couple in blowout fashion, to tie the series 3-3, setting Monday night up for the classic showdown that it turned out to be. The Panthers were in danger of being the first team since the 1942 Detroit Red Wings to blow a 3-0 lead in the NHL Stanley Cup Finals.
The Panthers celebrated the victory with several players skating around the rink hoisting the Cup in front of the team’s home fans. “It’s heavy,” Panthers captain Aleksandr Barkov said of the Stanley Cup trophy’s weight during his team’s victory celebration. Edmonton’s Connor McDavid was announced as the Conn Smythe Trophy winner, awarded to the NHL’s best player of the Stanley Cup playoffs. He is the sixth person in NHL history to win the award without his team winning the Stanley Cup. It is the first time it happened since 2003.
