In a defining moment in the franchise's history with which they are about to compete, fans are abuzz with excitement. With their sights on the second straight Stanley Cup title, the Panthers are going to electrify the 2025 NHL Finals with their energy.
Usually, the defending champions in the past would have lost their momentum, but that is not the case for Florida this season, as they have kept their dreams alive throughout the playoffs with the intent to win the title.
Sergei Bobrovsky
and
Matthew Tkachuk
lead the
Florida Panthers
into the 2025 Stanley Cup Finals
The 2025 NHL Playoffs have seen the Panthers playing like a well-oiled machine. This means that with every passing series, the team gains strength under the reins of head coach Paul Maurice. A very confident Sergei Bobrovsky in goal for the Florida Panthers has underpinned their defense, allowing the forwards, led by Matthew Tkachuk and Sam Bennett, to go on a relentless offensive attack.
Tkachuk's key moments in momentum swings have propelled them, particularly during this dominant run of victories.
Florida's campaign began with a strong statement against Tampa Bay. Physically and emotionally draining, the series of games against the Lightning was an experience for all involved in it, yet the Panthers were able to smoothly transition into the second round, facing a very hungry opponent, the tough Toronto Maple Leafs.

Not giving even a single indication of tiredness or hesitation, in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Panthers had a field day with the Carolina Hurricanes.
Marchand has had an enormous impact since being brought in during the mid-season trade, blending very well with Florida's core alongside his aggressive style of play and leadership in clutch situations.
For fans who want to see this historic run live, ticket availability has become an intriguing matter.
If the Panthers contend for Games 1 and 2 at home, prices for entry would start at $482 for Game 1 and would rise to $550 for Game 2 at Amerant Bank Arena. These tickets would be made available through StubHub, marking a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for fans to be part of what could be the series clincher at home.
Called the team to beat in the playoff bracket for the NHL, the Florida Panthers have become intense with each successive series.
The whole performance from the Panthers makes it clear—they are not defending champions but an organization that is ready to create a legacy.

Standing just one step away from solidifying the dynasty are the Florida Panthers, with just one of those supreme goaltenders in the form of Sergei Bobrovsky shutting down any out-of-town opposition and a highly effective forward in Matthew Tkachuk. The Stanley Cup Finals are starting at the moment, and all eyes will be following its progress to witness history promisingly being repeated in favor of Florida.

Panthers endure uncharacteristic playoff collapse in losing Game 1 of Cup Final to Oilers
For nearly three full years under coach Paul Maurice, the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers were unbeatable in the playoffs when holding a lead through either one or two periods. Until Wednesday night. In a 4-3 overtime loss to the Edmonton in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, the Panthers blamed themselves for playing too conservatively in allowing the Oilers to score three straight goals and squander a 3-2 lead entering the third period. 'Just not let up. Don't sit back,' said Sam Bennett, who scored twice, including his franchise single-postseason-record 12th. 'We've been really good all year at not sitting back with the lead, and for whatever reason we sat back tonight.' It was an uncharacteristic collapse for a Florida team that had won 31 consecutive playoff games under Maurice when holding the lead at the intermission break. Worse yet, the Panthers actually blew a two-goal lead in an outing Leon Draisaitl sealed by converting Connor McDavid's centering pass 19:29 into overtime. It came on the power play, and 1:12 after Tomas Nosek was penalized for delay of game after lifting the puck over the glass. Maurice was more concerned with how the Panthers performed well before Nosek entered the penalty box in an outing they were outshot 24-8 from the beginning of the third period. 'I think we had some real good pressure. They get it back and then there were some plays we didn't compete,' he said. 'I thought we were a little safe with the puck.' Florida dropped to 8-3 on the road this postseason and trails a series for the first time since losing the first two games of its second-round meeting against Toronto, which the Panthers rallied to win in Game 7. Game 2 of the Cup Final series is in Edmonton on Friday night. NHL: /hub/nhl

Will Rick Pitino join New York Knicks as head coach? Former Louisville coach gives honest reaction after Tom Thibodeau's dismissal
The New York Knicks' sudden decision to part ways with head coach Tom Thibodeau sent shockwaves through the basketball world, especially after the team's strong playoff performance. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Naturally, speculation swirled about who might step into the high-pressure role next, and some eyes turned to longtime college coaching legend Rick Pitino. But during a recent public appearance in the Bronx, Pitino made it very clear: a move to Madison Square Garden is not on his agenda. Rick Pitino shuts down New York Knicks rumors while showing support for Thibodeau Tom Thibodeau was dismissed after five seasons as New York Knicks head coach, despite leading the team to the 2024 Eastern Conference Finals. Image via: Getty Images Rick Pitino, now the head coach at St. John's University, was at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. But the baseball diamond didn't stop the basketball questions. When asked if he had any interest in replacing Thibodeau as head coach of the Knicks, Pitino gave a response that was both blunt and final. 'Absolutely not,' Pitino said with a smirk, quickly shutting down the conversation. Though he firmly declined the idea of returning to the NBA sidelines, Pitino did express empathy for Thibodeau, who led the Knicks to one of their most competitive stretches in decades. 'I feel bad for Thibs because he captured all of New York, built something very, very special,' Pitino told reporters. "A lot of us don't comprehend what happened, but Thibs is going to be well taken care of and he'll move on to other pastures. " The move to fire Thibodeau came just days after the Knicks' playoff run ended in the Eastern Conference Finals, marking their first appearance at that stage in 25 years. Under Thibodeau's leadership, New York posted back-to-back 50-win seasons, something the franchise hadn't seen since the 1990s. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In a formal statement, Knicks president Leon Rose credited Thibodeau for his impact. "We can't thank Tom enough for pouring his heart and soul into each and every day of being the New York Knicks head coach," Rose said. "He led us not only with class and professionalism for the past five seasons, but also to tremendous success on the court... Tom will always be a part of our Knicks family and we truly wish him nothing but the best in the future. " "Only time tells with those things," Pitino remarked when asked if the Knicks made the right call. "So we'll see." Pitino, now 72, also shared about his career prospects. 'As long as you're mentally and physically sharp, you do it as long as you can. Because coaching is a blessing. It's the second-best thing to playing. I have been blessed with over 50 years of coaching, and I hope it continues as long as I can do it,' Pitino said (via SNY). Pitino, known for his impressive track record both on the basketball court and in promoting academic excellence among his players, has held head coaching positions at several prominent programs. His career includes leading the University of Louisville from 2001 to 2017, highlighted by a national championship win in 2013, and guiding the University of Kentucky to the 1996 NCAA title during his tenure from 1989 to 1997. He also coached at Providence College (1985–1987), Boston University (1978–1983), and served as interim head coach for the final six games at Hawaii during the 1975–76 season.

Major auction house opens bidding for NHL Hall of Famer Wayne Gretzky's last worn Oilers' gloves from 1988 finals
Major auction house opens bidding for NHL Hall of Famer Wayne Gretzky's last worn Oilers' gloves from 1988 finals (Image Source: X) Wayne Gretzky's gloves from the 1988 game, where he wore the Edmonton Oilers' uniform for the final time, is now up for auction. The auction house Sotheby's announced the news ahead of the Stanley Cup finals between Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers. When Wayne Gretzky left the Edmonton Oilers, he had already set a benchmark for future players. Winning four Stanley Cups since joining the team is a feat in itself. Besides, Wayne scored a record-breaking 43 points in 19 games during the 1988 playoffs. Sotheby's announces bidding on Wayne Gretzky's final match with Edmonton Oilers The auction house Sotheby's opened the bidding for Wayne Gretzky's last worn Oilers' gloves on Wednesday, just before the final series between Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers began. As per Sotheby's, these gloves are set to sell between $400,000 to $600,000 as per Sotheby's estimates. The Gretzky's gloves are said to be photo-matched before being put up for auction. These were the gloves that Wayne wore during the final match between Edmonton Oilers and Boston Bruins, where the former won the Stanley Cup. This was the Oilers' fourth consecutive win, which included Wayne's record breaking stats as well. Gretzky went on to score 43 points in just 19 games during the playoffs, which marked him as one of top players of the time. Wayne Gretzky's Oilers' gloves from 1988 Stanley Cup finals are up for auction (Image Source: Edmonton Journal via X) Though Wayne went to the Los Angeles Kings and never lifted the Stanley Cup again, his time with the Oilers is well remembered. The Hockey Hall of Famer's gloves were previously sold for $204,162 in 2022, and are now back in the auction. Though the estimate falls under $400,000 to $600,000, there are high chances of the gloves getting sold at a higher price. Since the sports memorabilia market is on the high, and Wayne is undoubtedly one of the greatest players of NHL, the gloves will set a record just like he did. Besides, Wayne's jersey and stick from the 1988 game had already set a record for being sold at $1.45 million and $336,000, during the auction. The bidding for Wayne's gloves will close on June 16, 2025. Will it set another record in the memorabilia market? It remains to be seen.
