I’m happy for Florida. I guess I’m supposed to hate them around here, but fuck that. They played their asses off, and this was well deserved. Bring the cup back to FL (even though this state fucking sucks right now.)

If they win this will be one of the greats in playoff runs.
CruelRuin
insane run. glad our boys didn’t face them this season lol. means i can just enjoy them whaling on other teams for once. 2021 vs them was the most intense series i’ve ever watched
canes just didn’t have enough guys. aho, jarvis, necas, plus whichever bottom sixers get lucky enough to get the deflection or pounce on a rebound

Don’t necessarily like the Panthers, but a Florida team playing for the cup for a fourth year in a row is cool with me for pissing off the haters who think hockey shouldn’t be played here

Bobrovsky is just unbeatable rn

It’s such a weird rivalry. Like we’re supposed to hate each other because same state. But I don’t hate any of their players at all. Now Boston on the other hand…

I’m all for supporting the Stanley Cup Finals in FL but this post just seems weird. Like, this is a Bolts Subreddit.

Man, Tkachuk talked all kinds of shit when he got here. But he backed it up like crazy. I knew he was good, but Calgary did him no justice. Good for them. Should VGK sweep, this is going to be a killer series.

That’s dope.

Cup being in Florida 3/4 years? Sign me up. Bob and Tkachuk are nuts
OGHamToast
Let’s go Cats! Fuck yeah!!!
I think it’s great how these boys have just turned it the fuck ON!
Since being down 3-1 to Boston (the best ever regular season team), FL has won 12 of their last 13! My favorite stat so far!

Should the prince of wales trophy just stay in Florida forever at this point??

I love how they put their paws all over that trophy and carried it off triumphantly. Just like stammer

A Florida team is in the finals for 4 straight years. Florida is the state of hockey. Bring the Cup back where it belongs. The Bolts will keep it here next year

I’ve never really thought of it as a rivalry with the panthers. Same state and division, but I’ve always viewed Boston and Toronto as our true enemies.
Panthers have always been like the Dolphins to me. I’ll probably root for them as long as they’re not playing the Bolts.

Seeing the Panthers beat the Bruins AND THEN the Leafs makes it very hard to hate this team. Besides, it’s funny seeing “fans” complain about Florida hockey

CONGRATZ HOUSECATS- Beat the brakes off them too!
Its-a-me-Giuseppe69
Relatively new NHL fan here who is a Panthers fan. Y’all are super kind with all the love I’m seeing. This has been the most fun playoffs of any sport by far, coming from a lifelong NFL and NBA fan (go fins, go blazers).
Can’t wait to see more FL hockey dominate between Lightning and Panthers! Cheers gents!
backyard_BUM
Reminds me of our 2020 team. President trophy winner who gets swept and next year goes on an amazing run. Go cats I’m really rooting for them

Honestly, I’m happy for them and their fans. As fans of a team that would continually get close but never go all the way, and then finally breaking through and winning it all, I hope those fans can experience that. It’s an amazing feeling. They only get one, though. After that, it’s right back to hating them. Also fuck Vegas.

Sunshine State of Hockey. Have them keep it warm until we bring it back up I-75 next June.
I really thought they made a mistake trying to blow it up last season after we swept them, but they took the opposite path we did in 2019 and it still got them this far. Got hot at the right time and they’re four wins away from getting on the board. Credit to Bob and Tkachuk.

Let’s go boys! I’m glad to see them at beating up everyone. If there was any team I’d want there, it’s them.

As a lightning fan, I say good for them!

As a panther fan, im loving all the support. This cements it for me. Were not rivals. Were a tag team that butchers all the other states. Yours is my second favorite team despite slaughtering us twice in a row cause i just had to appreciate the sheer talent of your roster. Best in the cap era by far. Is our state the fucking best or what? Everyone who hates FL is a jealous freak who cant get laid.

Well earned, Cats! Bring it home!

I’m so excited for the Panthers and their fans and for southern hockey. It’s especially great for the next generation of players and fans. 15-25 years from now, I imagine there will be great guys in the league from Florida because of what our two teams have done.
The Panthers have been incredible to watch and I’ve been fully on their bandwagon since we lost to the Leafs in game 6. I want them to win it all.

Panthers fan here. Appreciate the love from y’all. Stanley needs a tan.
Only hate you guys when we play you. Martin St. Louis is my favorite player of all time.

The only team to beat the Panthers more than once in the playoffs so far is the best team of all time. 3/5 of the top teams have been dispatched. Just wow. Vegas could very well be number 4.
