The Florida Panthers are doing the thing again!

For the third straight season, the Florida Panthers are heading back to the Stanley Cup Final.

Florida defeated the Carolina Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Final for the second time in three seasons, knocking out the Canes in five games.

It’s beyond amazing that Florida has become this juggernaut of a franchise considering how far they have come in such a relatively short amount of time.

The Panthers now become just the ninth franchise to reach three consecutive Stanley Cup Finals.

From Bill Zito to Paul Maurice, Matthew Tkachuk to Sasha Barkov, Florida has built itself into one of the absolute best franchises in the NHL from top to bottom and one of the most consistent teams in all of professional sports over the past few years.

Who the Cats will face remains to be seen, but a rematch of last year’s Final remains a high possibility as the Edmonton Oilers hold a commanding 3-1 lead in the Western Conference Final.

Either way, take a moment, Panthers fans.

Sit back, take a breath and drink it in.

Your Florida Panthers are back in the Stanley Cup Final!
