This began as a duplicate thread on another topic—but as long as the spot is still here, let's celebrate a moment in pro hockey.

Congratulations to the Florida Panthers, who just won their first Stanley Cup!

Yep, you love to see non-traditional markets that constantly get told 'you guys shouldn't have a franchise' win it.

There's a lot for Florida residents to like about a sport played on ice.

Was pulling for Edmonton to cap off the 3-0 comeback but congrats to the Panther fans nevertheless. Well earned!

I could swear McDavid was about to pull this off. Damn!

Congrats to the good people of Florida.

Them winning doesn’t change the fact they shouldn’t have a team.

In that case Edmonton shouldn't. They can't win a Cup in the modern era. They're looking at L's. City can't win anything. League had to help them get as far as they did w/ all those lottery wins. If the city really cared, they'd win. Why are you so hostile to people playing hockey outside of your little bubble? The state's won 3 Cups in 5 years & it's still 'eh, Florida doesn't deserve hockey'. If they didn't deserve it they wouldn't be winnin it. Most of those people down there came from the north anyways & still like hockey even tho they live in Floria. This isn't the 1920s anymore, stop living in the past.

Bronco: at least it gets cold & snows in Edmonton.
