While hockey may not be the first thing to pop into people’s minds when they think of Florida, there is a large group of diehard fans who root vehemently for their hometown heroes, the Florida Panthers. Based out of Sunrise, Florida, the Panthers have been forging a reputation as a tough underdog team since their first season back in 1993-94.
Joining the NHL as an expansion team, the Panthers made smart work of both the 1993 NHL Entry Draft as well as the expansion draft, bringing in many talented players who would produce for them. Additionally, the Panthers were able to bring in veteran goaltender John Vanbiesbrouck to establish a sure starter in net. Leaders in Brian Skrudland and Scott Mellanby served as role models for younger players, including Rob Niedermayer. Following their inaugural season, many in the Florida region were hopeful for the new team. Picking up Ed Jovanovski with the first overall pick in 1994 only added to the excitement. The following season was shortened by the NHL lockout, but the Panthers played well.
During the 1995-96 season, the Panthers improved drastically, eclipsing 40 wins for the first time on their way to their first NHL playoff appearance. Defying expectations, the Panthers moved past the Boston Bruins in five games, then the Philadelphia Flyers in six games, before upsetting a Mario Lemieux led Pittsburgh Penguins team in seven games to reach the Stanley Cup Finals. The Cinderella run would come to an end in the fourth and final round, however, as the Panthers fell to the Colorado Avalanche in four games.
It would be 25 years before the Panthers would win their next playoff series. Paul Maurice was tabbed in 2022 to make over at the helm as head coach of the Panthers. He inherited a roster with a lot of talent and executed a few moves alongside general manager Bill Zito to turn this club into a hockey powerhouse.
Led by Aleksander Barkov, the Panthers boasted a lineup which included Matthew Tkachuk, Aaron Ekblad, Sam Bennett, Sam Reinhart, and Sergei Bobrovsky between the pipes. The group went 42-32-8 during the 2022-2023 season. It was good enough for 4th place in the Atlantic Division and a playoff berth. The group made a major push, but were ultimately eliminated in five games by the Vegas Golden Knights.
Florida took a lot from this Stanley Cup letdown. The picked up a bad taste in their mouth, but they also picked up some much-needed playoff experience and a deep desire to make it back. Not many teams get back to the finals after losing, but this special group tore through the regular season with a record of 52-24-6 on their way to an Atlantic Division title in 2023-2024. The playoff path was carved with talented opponents who would make the journey back to the finals a difficult one.
After defeating their in-state rivals, the Tampa Bay Lightning, in five games, the Panthers took on the Boston Bruins. This series went six games before Florida prevailed to face off against the President’s Trophy winning New York Rangers. Again, the Panthers eliminated their opponent in six games. Only one team stood between the Panthers and the Stanley Cup – the Edmonton Oilers. Florida dug deep and played their hearts out, jumping out to a 3-0 series lead before the Oilers snuck back into the series. Facing elimination in a huge game seven, the Panthers played their absolute best, winning the game 2-1 and taking home the most coveted prize in all of sports for the first time in franchise history.
This hungry team may be just getting started on putting together a dynasty of their own. Fans in Florida will always have the back of the Panthers players, just as they rooted on for all the greatest Panthers ever to lace up their skates, including Pavel Bure, Roberto Luongo, Jaromir Jagr, John Vanbiesbrouck, Aleksander Barkov, and Olli Jokinen.
