Happy Fourth of July from THN Florida!

For the third straight summer, Florida Panthers fans have quite a bit to celebrate.

In 2023, Cats fans were elated after the team’s incredible, improbable run to the Stanley Cup Final after squeaking into the playoffs as an eight seed.

Last year, not only the Panthers get back to the Final, but they won the franchise’s first ever Stanley Cup in an unbelievable, nail-biting seven-game series against the Edmonton Oilers.

Then there was this year, when Florida returned to the championship series for the third year in a row, only to find those same Oilers waiting in the Final and looking for revenge.

Unfortunately for Edmonton, there was no revenge to be had.

This time, the Panthers took out the Oilers in six games, winning the Stanley Cup on home ice for the second year in a row.

In addition to all that winning, Panthers General Manager Bill Zito has also found a way to keep the team’s entire core intact and locked into long-term, franchise friendly deals.

That was capped off by the re-signings of Sam Bennett, Aaron Ekblad and Brad Marchand over the past couple weeks.

Overall, as we’ve been saying for a while now, it’s a great time to be a Florida Panthers fan.

From us here at THN Florida, we wanted to wish everyone a very happy and safe July 4th!
