It feels kinda crazy how little the panthers were talked about across the internet and media in a series where they won the cup. I swear 85% of conversations were about the Oilers. Glad the Panthers got the cup and hopefully they get the respect they deserve
when the panthers were losing games it was like there was one team on the ice based on how the announcers were talking
Winning the presidents trophy then getting swept in 2nd round and rebuilding the team to squeak in playoffs and make a run to cup and lose and then come back in next year and win is a great story. But once it got to the Cup Final it was all about Oilers “deserving” to win.
All playoffs they glazed Florida's opponents Panthers were destroying swayman but all we heard was how elite he was lmao.
People are still talking how "Florida did not deserve this cup". So, the Oilers were the ones who deserved the cup? The Panthers, in a space of only 4 years:
- won the Presidents' Trophy;
- went to the finals since 1996;
- went to back-to-back finals;
- won back-to-back Prince of Wales trophies;
- won two Atlantic Division Champion titles;
- eliminated what's probably the strongest Boston Bruins team in their franchise history, while being the last team to enter playoffs by a single point;
- eliminated the Tampa Bay Lightning, their state rivals, for the first time in franchise history;
- eliminated the Presidents' Trophy winner twice in a row;
- went through the "Gauntlet of Goalies" by eliminating 3 of the best goaltenders in the league (Vasilevskiy, Swayman and Shesterkin);
- won their first Stanley Cup.
How do people even have the audacity to say that the Panthers didn't deserve the cup? Just because McDavid won the Conn Smythe, broke a few Gretzky records and the Oilers almost (emphasis on "almost") reverse swept the Panthers, doesn't mean that the Panthers didn't deserve this cup. Every single one of them battled a LOT to get here.
I'm not surprised. The media will slobber on McDavids knob any chance they get!
As a life long Miami sports fan, no championship has been sweeter than this win. LETS GO PANTHERS
fr so rewarding
Is this a Sweetness pun?
@@rmsangel242 it wasn’t then but it is now lmao
So weird. They came very close to the biggest choke in history. BUT THEN THEY WON!! Congratulations Panthers. Crazy but awesome.
@@rmsangel242I’ve listened to it about 30-40 times since monday
Cats fan here. This Cup means a lot to the Florida Panthers. Not just to the organisation, which turned around years of futility and potential relocation into a staple of NHL hockey. But also for the future of the team and their ability to continue having on-ice success.
Bill Zito built this team with the idea that this was the year. If they lost yesterday, their ability to retain their FAs would have taken a massive hit, and Paul Maurice would probably have been fired. They have little cap room and draft picks, so this would have put them in a terrible spot.
But they won the Cup. All the moves now make it worth it. And their FAs might want to stick around for less money in order to repeat.
This was the Panthers' shot, and it paid off. And as a fan, I couldn't be happier!
The media is trying so hard to make sure that this is the most forgotten Stanley Cup win and all they wanna do is talk about McDavid. I knew this was going to happen; the Panthers deserve better.
Which is why I want ESPN gone from doing the NHL broadcasts
@@chrisuncleahmad Welp, sure is too bad they worked hard to get both, eh? You a Bruins fan?
Deserve better? Shoulda finished the Oilers in 4 instead of almost choking, then.
Almost got a sweep, got three games of Florida not showing up, none of the games felt as close as a seven-game series would suggest (other than the finale), and then we didn't even get the reverse sweep. This was a series that deserved to be forgotten, imo.
@@thatonewriter8043 Cope
@@thatonewriter8043 In a few years, nobody except for pedants like you is going to remember or even care that the Panthers *almost* lost. If you actually know anything about the NHL you'll know how hard it is to come up with that 4th win for ANYONE. Reverse sweeps are rare and just as the Oilers figured out the Panthers, the Panthers figured out the Oilers right back. Cope harder and accept your fuckin Conn Smythe trophy, I won't even say that wasn't well-deserved. This isn't the WWE where the story is prewritten.
This time yesterday we were watching great final game,I already miss hockey.
That was a great hockey team! As someone that saw Bob play in Columbus 10 years ago, I’m happy he finally got to hoist Stanley Cup
all my life i've waited for this moment, since 96. its a dream come true 🐀
Same for me! I’ve been a fan since they announced the franchise. Let’s go Panthers!
Congrats!!! I’m rather new fan (2 years) and can only imagine the journey for original fan
Congrats man, I’m still waiting for my first win!
with the lighting and the panthers, it's official... hockey is florida sport
As a NJ fan, I always remind people Jack Hughes was born in Florida.
No state taxes or snow. Babes and blow. Both franchises are fun to play for.
Interesting statistic:
With the Panthers' Stanley Cup, Florida becomes the 3rd-placed American state with more than one team to have multiple cups.
- New York (Rangers, Islanders and Sabres) - 8 cups in total (Sabres have no cups)
- Pennsylvania (Flyers and Penguins) - 7 cups in total
- Florida (Lightning and Panthers) - 4 cups in total
- California (Kings, Ducks and Sharks) - 3 cups in total (Sharks have no cups)
All the other American Stanley Cup-winning teams are the sole team in their state, so they don't enter this list.
@@choppergunner8650aren’t those the only states with multiple teams tho?
@@kyledodson2992 yup! But before that, Florida and Cali would have been tied for 3rd place. So the Panthers just helped to put Florida in 3rd and Cali dropped to 4th.
from Rangers fan congrats Panthers on winning the cup.
Nope. We don't need any more American teams holding up the Cup.
Thanks,Bro! 🎊
@@Borodin410 why ? and who is "we" ?
@@Borodin410who is we, SUCKA???

Barkov seems like such a class act. Glad he's hoisting the cup this season.
Dude Barky is a humble captain who leads by example. Its no surprise his team mates praise him so much as their leader, easy to follow a guy like Barkov.
I almost feel bad that Mikkola's name isn't on that board. He only played 5 games with STL when they won the cup, so it was good to see him win it here.
Was he eligible to have his name on the cup with the Blues?
@@RIPJimmyA7X No
He was one of the CLUTCH finds by Bill Zito for this team. Very solid defender. Just the kind of guy to fit on this squad. We love Niko here.
@@autistica1 I was impressed with Mikkola in the reg season but disappointed in his play in most of the playoffs. Just the opposite for Kulikov...thought he looked like crap most of the season, but he really elevated his play in the playoffs.
As a Blues fan I always liked Mikkola and was sad when he left
From a ranger in England!!! Congrats panthers! No more late nights!!! Thank you
Ditto from Estonia!!
I’m a Panthers season ticket holder and went to all 13 of their home playoff games this year. Amazing run! This channel was the 2nd best part, THG.
@@user-vc7ps6tk8i Can I ask how much you spent on tickets for all 13 games? I saw how crazy some of the ticket prices were in round one, let alone the cup finals .
Question: how do playoff ticket sales work with season tickets? I’ve been looking all over the web and I can’t find a good explanation on it. Do you get “first pick” and pay the SUPER HIGH prices? Is it a “first pick” but you pay a higher than normal but it’s not super high? I’m VERY much interested in getting season tickets and if being able to attend playoff games for a reasonable price is an option then that will increase my chances of diving into that world.
@@CmRoddy Usually season ticket holders get to buy tickets for the seats they held during the season. They are held in a way until the season ticket holder accepts or declines them. If they are declined they go to general sales. That's my understanding. However season ticket holders still have to pay the super high prices. Being a season ticket holder doesn't necessarily get you a discount, it just gives you the chance to get your same seats.
@@CmRoddy yes the Panthers (and most teams I believe) allow you to opt into your season ticket seats for the playoffs. You have to buy the entire postseason. They bill you for the maximum number of home games each round (3 or 4) as they advance. Each round of course goes up in price but the value is still way better than buying on the secondary market. Also you don’t have to pay fees. You got refunded or credited for games that do not take place.
I am an original Panthers fan, played thirty years, and was there last year in the Final and this year in the Final and was at Game 7. Shout out to all the original Cats fans and our long, long journey, and special shout out to that original generation of Florida-grown hockey players who finally can make anyone in this league back off. The northern USA and Canada have no monopoly on hockey. May the rest of you eat all the crap you dished out at us over the decades. Florida in seven. Eat it, snow birds.
I was at the game and the actual tears of joy on the faces of so many Panther faithful is something I will never forget. This is one of the happiest moments of my life. To see your team lift the Stanley Cup is special beyond words. Vamos Gatos
Bill Zito looks like he always pissed and ready to fight someone lol
So happy for Rodrigues, absolutely the ultimate play any line at any time type guy. Became a favorite for me last year with the Avs
E-Rod's energy levels are built different, man.
Loved him on the Pens.
I wasn't rooting for either team in the final, but seeing Paul Maurice lift the cup made me a little emotional. I felt really happy for him knowing he paid his dues. As a Canes fan since the early 2000s, I've always liked him. Also, congratulations to assistant coach and former Cane Tuomo Ruutu.
Sam Bennett is a Stanley cup champion
So, good for him.
Congratulations Panthers. You love seeing a team win their first cup.
Except Vegas! 👎🏼
Loved seeing Washington and St. Louis win their first. Hated Vegas winning and the way Florida won theirs. It should not have taken four chances to finish with a defense like theirs and with Skinner on the other side.
As a panthers season ticket holder of 18 seasons, I cannot believe we are here. All the chat about our lack of fan base isn’t untrue, but it is outdated. I was there when the building had 5,000 fans tops in those seats. And all I can say is this organization has come a LONG way. So proud of my team 🔥 go cats go!
Happy to see a member of the Tkachuk family lift a Stanley Cup. Keith was one of my favorite power forwards growing up, and watching Matt hoist it was great
It was cool watching him take it to his dad.
Seeing Florida win their first cup last night took me back to the way I felt the night the Caps won, it was one of the best feelings in the world, I cried tears of joy
At 10 years old in 07, I felt the same way
"2020, that was four years ago right" ...... Jesus i guess it was 🤣
I'm not invested in either team but the series was fantastic. I thought it might be nice to see Florida win their 1st Cup
Avs fan here. Congrats to Florida and especially to the fans. Well earned cup win this year!
As an AVS and Panthers fan, it's been a really great supporting 2 amazing teams!
Congrats Panthers. You have a killer team and deserved to win.
As a Flames fan, I’m super happy for Tkachuk and Bennet (and Lomberg too I guess, lol). 🎉
had to rewind the beginning a few times to hear you say panthers are stanley cup champions. go cats!
As a lifelong panthers fan, I have never been happier. The Era of pain is over. The Rats Reign at long last!!!!
I remember over a decade ago how bad the panthers were and how there were constant talks about the team moving. So happy to see how far they've come.
God has done miracles on me. Also you’re absolutely right Shannon, good owners and a functional organization go a long way towards fandom. If the Panthers were mediocre or bad in say 5-10 years from now they would still have a strong following waiting to relive those early 2020s when the franchise turned it around. They would have patience
I'll be foolishly ballsy and say if Reinhart stays he has an even better year next season. Could be one of the instances of everyone thinking its an anomaly then it turns out to be someone really hitting their prime.
A lot of dirtbaggery by the Oilers. Relying on their power play and the officials refusing to assign majors. Note, it was their grinders that provided most of their game deciding goals. They are lucky to get as far as they did. Also, who can honestly say that McDavid was the most valuable player in this series??? Bobrovsky was the backbone of this Panthers Team in every series.
Oilers fans still thinking about the 8-1 win, when all that matters is who won the cup.
Con Smythe is for the whole playoffs...McDavid broke the Gretzky assist record IIRC. Bob blew his chance with those three losses, especially the 8-1.
@@flarrfan He broke it in garbage time in a game that was already won. Bob was instrumental in every playoff series. McJesus was no show for 5 of 7 games in the Finals.
Tampa/Boston/Rangers/McDavid..
They earned it.
McDavid did fuck all in the Finals tbh. He only did something in games 4 and 5, because in games 1, 2, 3, 6 (where the Oilers won) and 7, he netted 0 points. Just because he tied/broke a Gretzky mark by having 8 points on finals, he only did so in 2 games, and when it mattered the most... he ghosted hard 😂 although Draisaitl ghosted the hardest. Dude was nowhere to be seen, only got a single point, and his most infamous play was diving and elbowing Barkov in the face.
Draisaitl got bullied out of the series by Barkov and Bob. @@choppergunner8650

Thanks for the content all season long Shannon! Thrilled to have been in attendance for Game 7. Truly a once in a lifetime moment to see the Cats hoist the cup!
(Obligatory "Panthers fan here")
I do also think Reino re-signs on a relatively team-friendly deal. Montour is an interesting one, he's gonna have to accept a good bit lower than what early reports were suggesting (like early in the season I mean). He just isn't a 7+ mil player IMO, 2023 was an outlier year. I would still be fine with keeping him but if he's asking too much, I'm okay seeing him go. Of the other UFAs, Stenlund and Lomberg are the guys I wanna keep the most, followed by OEL. Tarasenko likely gets overpaid somewhere else and that's fine. Kulikov I can see staying on for cheap. Stolarz 1000% is gone, someone's gonna pay him to be a starter most likely, or at least a 1b. My pick/hope for him is Seattle.
Obviously Spencer Knight should be the backup next year. Other guys that could come up, depending on roster spots available after the UFA dominoes fall, you've got Mackie Samoskevich and Justin Sourdif as the most NHL ready guys, they got some limited time early in the year. Mike Benning as a D-man is still really young, not sure where we stand on his progress yet but he's a guy I'm keeping an eye on. I've also wanted Lucas Carlsson to get a chance for so freakin long now but for whatever reason Paul Maurice just doesn't seem to wanna give him one. And who the hell am I to doubt him, especially at this point?
I’m super happy that they won! Let them be happy now because they won’t be able to keep everyone together. Some will undeniably leave via free agency. I bet Zito will continue to be the best GM even though he has not been recognized as such. At least not yet.
Great take on our team. I go back to the old Miami Arena. !! Glad all 6 of our fans showed up for game 7. Keep up the great work . This series has introduced the excitement Hockey is all about, and created new fans in the South.
Woooo champs
I think Rhino and Lundy give team friendly deals. Montour will probably hit the Market. I’d love to see Tarasenko and ELO resign on team friendly deals, but I’ll be happy for them if they walk. Lomburg and Cousins are some of the heart and soul guys of the team. I don’t think they will go anywhere. Kulikov I think will retire as a panthers. I could see Okposo retire after this, but I think the team will let him decide whether he stays or goes. I like Stendlund as our 4C and on the PK and I hope we keep him.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Stolarz leaves for a 1a -1b roll somewhere like Calgary, Chicago, Colorado, or Columbus to guess a few teams. I’d love to keep him but we do have Spencer Knight and his contract and I think Knight will be the replacement for Bob when the time comes. I’m not sure what will happen with Mahura, maybe a qualifying offer?
Also gotta keep in mind some of the players like Bennet that are gonna be due next year
I could tell in the first period of game 7 that the Oilers were not going to be able to run and gun against the cats on this night like they had the previous 3 games. Those 3 prior games Oilers looked unstoppable at times, what a strange series. Game 7 was played on the Panthers' terms. You don't know how a team is going to play until they are up against it.
Tkachuk made a brilliant defensive play on McDavid going between 97's legs to prevent a scoring opportunity in game one (?). It was a highlight of the series for me. Paul Maurice was still talking about it later in the series.
As a sharks fan, seeing a team win Mr Stanley for the first time definitely felt good congrats to all you panthers fans
I feel like Verhaeghe flew under the radar all post season. Meaning, he didn't have a target on him, nobody was super excited and focused on him and he quietly put up great numbers. That redirect though 👀👀👀👀 the man has that innate ability to come up with something from almost nothing. Sam Rhinehart needs to re-sign in Florida. I could see him improve his numbers over this season. I can definitely see the Panthers putting together a great season again. Let's hope for another deep run.
People need to understand, South Florida is a vacation destination. Yea the Panthers use to have an empty arena, because there’s too many entertainment options for people to waste their money on a team that’s not serious about winning. The reason the Heat are supported the way they are is because to the track record. If the Panthers can keep this level of performance and competence rolling there will be no lack of fans in seats. You have to incentivize people to show up, giving them a good product is the best way to do that.
We love the Panthers down here, they just didn’t love us back for years. The Marlins currently are the same way the old Panthers were. You can’t continuously sell all your talent, refuse to pay players when it’s time to, and then complain fans don’t support the team when you haven’t given them a single reason to.
There’s a different event happening every night down here music, sports, all forms of entertainment are competing with each other down here. You won’t get attention if you have a bad product. Bottom line.
Well said. GO CATS!
Great for the growth of hockey that four of the last five Cups came from the Sun Belt and all from America for 31 years
1:15 Also Florida's cap hits are low because of no state tax in Florida
They earned it. No disrespect to the oilers. Hell I could care less who won at the end of the day but it was a solid series. At the end of the day, I like the Panthers tomorrow versus the oilers tomorrow.
I had a good look at them last night, they looked fine. 👀
The Florida Panthers just validated their place in the NHL We are no longer the prey.We are the top predator!!!!!!!!!!
Stanley Cup gets to visit Finland again and is probably taken to a sauna. in November Florida Panthers plays two games against Dallas Stars in Tampere, Finland. So things worked out well.
So they don't play in Dallas or Sunrise next season, that's their 2 games
Well, it's one for the money two for the show
Three to get ready now go, cats, go! :D
LETS GO CATS!! Rhino is definitely staying home
What an incredible Stanley Cup run. The Cats systematic and responsible systems were really fun to watch. This is a team with alot of grinders that play with sandpaper. The have a legit chance to repeat. Maurice,aka Reggie Dunlap, did an amazing coaching job!!
Great season Shannon. Awesome job. Keep up the great work and looking forward to the offseason updates.
“Stop staring at me Bill” hahahahha. I saw that stare with all the press coverage of the cup win. Yes might be a little terrifying
It’s our cup boys now let’s win it again next year
Man it feels so good we finally won!!!! LET’S GO PANTHERS!!!!!
the forsling signing 8 x 5.75 Aav was huge for us such a steal
Clearly, Rinehart and Montour are the priorities. I'm also hoping Spencer Knight is not a lost cause.
I really like Stolarz, I think he should remain a Panther. But in reality I know he's gone.
Imo its reino and lundell. I hope we can sign montour but I just don't know how we will bc of how much he's worth
@@Pillsbury666 We have spencer knight theres no point of keeping stolarz
I used to say Bob is an excellent goalie but would never carry a team all the way to a Cup win.
He had that reputation only a few years ago. Really happy to see guys overcome that and win a Cup even when it's not my team.
I was happy to be cheering for both teams. OTOH I love it when Finns win the cup and Barkov is one of my all time fav players. OTOH I would have loved to see the cup go to Canada and McD for sure deserves to win one or more. :)
Remembering the days when shannon predicted that tarasenko would be a 50 goal scorer one day
happy to finally see my cats lift a cup!
I think Tarasenko signs a team friendly deal to stay with Florida and be with his family there
Not throwing any shade but i wonder how many new fans the panthrs have gained in the past years and ofc this week
In addition to the cups, both Tampa and Florida went to the finals one year too, so that's 5 Stanley Cup finals appearances in the state of Florida in the last few years.
Fully deserved. They were the best team in the playoffs 2 years running. They learnt from last year's mistakes. Good job Florida :)
3 cups and 5 finals in the state of Florida in the last 5 years.
"not a hockey market"
A players market,go to the beach or play golf year round.
@@mattserraes8561 and pay no tax, pocket more on a 9.5M deal than Matthews does on his 13M contract.

Now that Florida has won their first Stanley Cup, I think its time for a video of teams that are still chasing for their first Stanley Cup. As a Canucks fan, 54 years and counting is pathetic!
Love the Oilers, was there when the great one played..... tic tac toe the Mess and Yari what a trio !! #GoOilers
Looking forward to your take on the upcoming draft.
I finally joined the right bandwagon at the right time.
Been a Panthers fan since day one and thought they would never win a cup. I've been on cloud 9 since Monday night.
Same for me on both counts! I'll ride this high the rest of the summer
I'm enjoying the Florida dynasty, it's going to create more hockey fans.
hey Shannon. i'll eat my words pertaining to the Forsling comments i stated over the last while; he was probably the most consistent dman for the Panthers this season & playoffs. i still don't think he's a #1 dman, but he did play better than the true #1 dman in Ekblad... not sure what happened to Aaron, but he wasn't a #1 for a big chunk of these playoffs, but Forsling & Bobrovsky rose above it. i know we'll never quite agree on this, but i'm very glad Forsling was a part of this cup run w/ the Cats
Reinhart 10mil
Lundell 4mil
Others 1-2 mil
Done
Now with only 10 current NHL teams that have never won the cup. You should do a rankings on all ten of them (In your opinion) of most likely to win their first cup next. Thanks for all the hard work. Love your videos.
2000 expansion teams would probably be last on the list. Both have been stuck in hockey purgatory since they joined the league.
Would it be crazy to put Vancouver and Utah towards the top of the list of the most probable next first-time winners?
Congrats to the Panthers on winning the cup! Shannon love the content but I disagree about Reinhart taking a team friendly deal. Most of his career has been team friendly and I think he looks to cash in min 9-9.5 aav max term especially since he's turning 29 in November
Montour walks I think, he just didn’t perform as he should have maybe injury don’t know yet but if he doesn’t walk I think he doesn’t get a ton of cash
If I was gunna make a prediction on who stays and goes: I think they keep Reinhart and Lundell, and probably lose everyone else in Free Agency. Montour is getting paid in free agency for sure. Guys like Lomberg, Stenlund, Ekman Larsson, Tarasenko, and Kulikov are also going to get way more than they can afford.
Great Analysis and thanks for the respect because Panthers just don’t get it from the press.
I’m taking my Stanley Cup Championship t shirt out in the Gulf today.
5 years ago in 2019 I posted in one of your videos that TBL FLA will dominate the league. I need to find that comment
The media may not want to admit it, "traditional" fanbases in Canada may not want to speak it. But Florida is now a bonafide contending franchise. They have three Stanley Cup trips, a President's trophy, and now a Stanley Cup Championship. They have invested in facilities, have a growing fanbase that has a reason to stick around with a championship pedigree.
They are here to stay. Just like Vegas. It took the Lightning twenty years of winning with three championships to "establish" themselves. Meanwhile Ottawa has no championships and they came into the league the same year, but they get a pass.
Congrats to the Cats!!!
Wild went 2-0 against the Stanley Cup champions this year 😅
One of them was the season opener way back in October
I was there at the December game. Kicked ass.
I dont wanna do it but knight might need to be traded, the contract is not fun, especially when ur number 1 is making 10, gotta have cap friendly backup
Tbf, I'd be totally fine if we traded away Spencer Knight. He's a good kid, but he eats a lot of cap space for someone in the AHL. Cooper Black is a 6'8 goalie and has been given a 3-year ELC somewhere around the trade deadline. My opinion is:
- Trade away Knight
- Resign Stolarz and keep him until Black is available to play.
If Bob decides to stop his career here, it's fine. Stolarz proved to be an extremely solid backup.
@@choppergunner8650yeah man you nailed it!!
Hard to see how any team can repeat with barely 2 months before training camp begins for a new season. The season is stretched out to long.
Thats what makes the cup so special to win. Its hard
I hope they keep Reinhart but I think the talks start at 8mil.
...and the Minnesota Mild will never win their first. That's one you'll never see.
Lundell at $3m would be an absolute steal
Florida's top-6 D make a combined 18 million dollars. Let that sink in
If Reinhart went to market they could pick up another player that may not perform quite like he did but give them good production for less over cap. A player like Ehlers from the jets comes to mind as there’s been ample talk about him being traded this offseason. But I do think it’s more likely Reinhart stays in Florida
They've got a couple guys in Mackie, and Sourdif, who can come in on rookie deals, and play solid mins, allowing a Stenlud, and a Kulikov to resign and still give us a bit of Cap to find a few more gems.
I'm guessing Reinhart, Lundell and Montour are the keepers. I hope the keep Lomberg, I like him.
Lomberg is great, he always gives us super positive energy, and even though hes a fourth liner with not a ton of points, he makes life hell for his opponents. I hope we keep him for a long time.
This cup final was my version of 2011 my favorite team is the Oilers but my second favorite is the Panthers. I am so happy that Florida won but I still would have rather seen the Oilers win but that’s just me.
No talk about spencer knight?!
he wasnt with the team all year, correct?
@@TheScotian82 yes, but now hes back with the team
I'm a CBJ fan and was a Panthers booster these playoffs not only bc of Bob but also because if the Florida Panthers can get their shit together, why can't the Columbus Blue Jackets?
