    Good for them the PANTHERS CONGRATULATIONS! 
    Pretty big cheer for Marchand when he raised the Cup. I'll watch the game later on the NHL network. Damn, of late way too many times the Stanley Cup has resided in the state here in Florida.

    That said, it's going to be a loooong road for the     BRUINS to get back on top. We shall see.

    ✌️
    I can't help but think if Marchand showed half as much heart in the BOS / STL final a few years ago as he did this spring, the Bruins win that cup, but I digress... Congrats to Marchand & the Panthers. They were a f'ing wagon. 

    Long road for the Bruins indeed... I'm not holding my breath with this management team at this point, but I'm hoping for the best.

    I have to believe that salary cap issues should be looming for the Panthers. There’s ac reason no one wins 3 in a row. 
    Your Bolts got close, which is mighty impressive.  
    But it's really the same thing as the Panthers.  They both went 2-1 in three straight cups.  But I knew in year three the Lightning had lost too much depth in the 3rd/4th to win it.  Question is whether Panthers will feel the same.  They had Verhaege and Marchand on the 3rd line.  That's second/first for the rest of the league.

    I’m going with the WWE style double cross. 

    Paul Maurice hits Luongo over the back with a stick, leaves Florida to coach the Jets again, leads them to their first Cup, beating the Luongo coached Panthers 4-2.

    You're right.  For some reason I thought the Bolts went to seven games the year they lost.  I recant my compliment.

    Chances Panthers three peat next year? Or will a Canadian team finally get to hoist it up after 30+ years?

    Gotta check the salary cap situation. That’s what it’s all about.

    I think the Panthers are there to stay for awhile.

    It is tough to win the cup.  Run into a hot goalie, injuries, etc... but they will be right there through the rest of this decade.

    For next year, they have to be the odds-on favorite.

    Let's see how the depth plays out as free agency moves.  3rd and 4th line and D3 is what got the Lightning.  I imagine the same for the Blackhawks last decade.  it's hard to be that competitive for four+years in a row.  Usually need to re-tool in some way.  But maybe they have really team friendly contracts.

    Yeah, but you know you'll be in the playoffs with him now lol, he's got some crazy stat of going to the conference final every year for the past 10 or something lol
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?
