Game on. Panthers took home the Stanley Cup...
The Florida Panthers made history Monday
night in front of more than 19,000 fans at Amerant
Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida, beating the Edmonton
Oilers 2-1 to win their first Stanley Cup. Cats WIN!
Wayne Huizenga was awarded a franchise from the
NHL on December 10, 1992. On April 20, 1993, a press
conference in Ft. Lauderdale announced that the team would
be named Florida Panthers, and today the rest is history.
I'm super happy, a little sad to see the Oilers crushed, but
would have been worse to see The Florida Panther's crushed.
Picture below is from many years ago when we lived in
Fort Lauderdale. We were and still are Panthers fans,
and we have been to many a games back then.
It's a beautiful day here at home, made better because
the Panther won. This is Florida so we have lightning and
thunder one minute, sunshine next, and then suddenly rain.
Florida living and I love it. Party time if not a Holiday 🏒
in South Florida. So many will not make it to work today.
That victory was accompanied by one of the longest-standing
traditions for Florida Panthers fans and one of the strangest the NHL
has ever seen: it has to do with plastic rats. Since the 1996 Stanley
Cup season, fans have littered the ice with rats following every win.
To all a good day. To all the Canadian fans, there is
always next year. This one belongs to The Florida Panthers.
After 30 years, The Florida Panthers win the
Stanley Cup for the fist time in franchise history...
