On today’s edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) brought in Florida Panthers Historian Francisco Oporta(@fjojr and @FLACatsHistory) to discuss the Panthers’ 2-1 win against the Edmonton Oilers to win the series in 7 and win their first Stanley Cup Championship in their 30 year history. The guys discuss the guys who paved the way for the Panthers, the suffering a lot of fans went, through, and what it means to the players who were there from the beginning of the rebuild. The guys discuss Paul Maurice’s interview after losing the Stanley Cup last year and how the messaging was always the same even when they had a 3-0 series lead. The Panthers overcame historical performances from Edmonton, including Conn Smythe Winner Connor McDavid. Now that the Panthers have their championship, the door is officially closed on relocation rumors and the growth of hockey in South Florida. We discuss this and more on today’s edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast: Your Team, Every Day.

STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!! FOREVER IMMORTALIZED IN HOCKEY!!30+ years of build for this moment. The ups. The downs. ALL THE TURNOVER. So happy for the players and especially Paul Maurice. Enjoy every bit of this feeling โค๐ฅน
Man what a game. Finally they actually played a good game and look at what happened. Aside from that one breakaway Edmonton didn't really do much. It was weird in like the final minute, you could tell Edmonton was gassed and wasn't really going to threaten. A sign that the players gave it their all out there. Glad it ended in a Panthers W. I don't really know what else to say lol. Just happy for the Panthers, the fans, and the whole of South Florida getting a championship. Kinda weird to have the MVP be a player of the losing team but you know what, who the hell cares; we'll take the Cup thank you very much
Wow you guys go down in hockey history congrats funny how all of Canada and Oil fans had anointed their team Stanley Cup champs before the game was even played what a game
PANTHERS ARE THE CHAMPS ๐๐
Knowing I didnโt become a fan of the sport until moving to port Charlotte in 2010 after a co worker took me to a blades game I choose the panthers because we sucked then and the league hates us but here we are finally the cup is ours!!!!!!!
Sunrise Florida; The Cup stops HERE!!!!!!
Congrats cats seeing is believing Bob got screwed btw for mvp
You guys, I'm a Montreal Canadiens life-long fan who adopted your team as my second-favourite team. I've never lived in Florida though I've visited. Armando, I have commented a bit lately, saying how much I love your podcast, your passion for this game and your team. I'm listening now, so, so, so happy for you guys. Here around the 30' mark of the podcast though, you guys introduced some really bitter banter about Canada and HER GAME. I'm just here to say Stanley Cup Champions need to stay in the happiness, the gratitude, not the I can't wait to trash some Canadian team as soon as this podcast is over. Our game and the Cup and history of our game and the cup, is too dignified for that. You guys KNOW the hockey world has more integrity than any sports for on earth. Yes of course there are always exceptions, but THIS SPORT is exceptional and it is obvious you guys feel it too. So stay grateful, stay happy, enjoy your historic victory. True Stanley Cup Champions are too grateful, happy, and appreciative to go bitter. Thanks .
From a Habs fan a big congrats to you guys and your team! Was a great run the last two years, happy it ends with your first cup in franchise history. What an exciting final game also.
Knew you could do it! Congrats Cats!
Avs fan, rooting for your team and our former player Evan Rodrigues. It was a fantastic series which is really all I wanted as a hockey fan. Congrats on your first Cup and don't forget this moment!
Sens fan here happy for you all.
So happy right now!!!!
The Oilers lack the key ingredient โ the Soviets. They have won 5 times with the Soviets being around. So all they need is to restore the USSR and that should do the trick
wwwwoooo louongo did it finally!!
All smiles today huh; just a day ago you and your bedwetter "special guest" were shaking in your shoes crying whoa is me pathetic… I told you, you should be building your team up at this difficult spot but what did you do you fell into a fetal position sucking your thumb… Sad indeed, said Panthers fan…
Where were YOU when the Panthers won the Stanley Cup championship?? Comment below!
Cheers from Calgary. THANK YOU for taking out the Oilers!!!
Go Panthers. From Ohio. Panther fan from there beginning
