There will be a first-time Stanley Cup champion in 2023.
The Stanley Cup Final is set, as it will be the Golden Knights and the Panthers going head-to-head to win this year’s title.
Florida continues its Cinderella run in the postseason by sweeping Carolina in the Eastern Conference Final. Matthew Tkachuk had two overtime winners in the series and scored the series-clinching goal with less than five seconds left in Game 4.
The Panthers entered the postseason as the No. 16 team, yet knocked off three of the top four teams in the league in the Bruins, Leafs and Hurricanes. It’s the club’s first Stanley Cup Final appearance since 1996 when Florida fell to Colorado in four games.
The Golden Knights punched their ticket to the finals with a win over the Stars in the Western Conference Final. Vegas needed six games to dismantle Dallas and get back to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 2018 when the team lost to Washington.
Vegas owned the best record in the Western Conference, however, after making easy work of the Jets in the first round, the Golden Knights were seen as underdogs against the Oilers and Stars. The club quickly proved doubters wrong and showed why they were the top team in the West.
Golden Knights vs. Panthers prediction
The Golden Knights were consistently one of the best teams in hockey this year. Despite dealing with a multitude of injuries, especially in net, Vegas thrived under the “next-man-up” mentality, and we are seeing one of the most complete teams succeed in the league.
Their back end has the size to play tougher against the Panthers in the defensive zone, and Vegas is getting offensive production from up and down its lineup.
On paper, the Golden Knights are the better team than the Panthers. But if we’ve learned anything throughout these playoffs, what’s on paper does not mean anything when it comes to the games on the ice.
I said after the Panthers won Game 2 against the Hurricanes in overtime that this club officially has the team of destiny vibes, and I’m not walking back on that now. I’m done waiting for Florida to fall off as the team has continued to prove me wrong time and time again.
The Panthers bring the Stanley Cup down to South Florida for the first time in franchise history.
Prediction: Panthers in six.
