The Florida Panthers outlasted a 3-0 comeback from the Edmonton Oilers to secure the franchise's first Stanley Cup
After what was one of the most dramatic finishes in Stanley Cup history, the Florida Panthers staved off a 3-0 comeback from the Edmonton Oilers to secure the first championship in franchise history.Florida's 2-1 victory was the third time in four years that the Stanley Cup Playoffs featured at least four Game 7s. However, no team had rallied from a 3-0 deficit to force a Game 7 in the Finals since 1945.
Even in the third period, he would lose his stick, falling to the ice — but managed to gain his composure and not allow any goals to slip through.The Panthers joined the 2011 Vancouver Canucks as the only teams in history to play nine potential series-clinching games in one year. Sergei Bobrovsky joined longtime Panthers goaltender Roberto Luongo, now the team's special advisor to the general manager, as the second netminder to play in nine potential clinchers in one playoff year.
