00:00Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers get used to that they've now made three straight cup finals

00:05back-to-back Stanley Cup champions also what's going to be entailed for the future maybe more

00:11Stanley Cups but the one thing we do know is last night they were absolutely dominant over

00:15the Edmonton Oilers in a 5-1 victory on home ice in game number six and it wasn't too long ago Joe

00:21that we're talking about boy look at this slight favorite in the series as we open up for the

00:25Edmonton Oilers the Edmonton Oilers in game number one won in overtime Canada back on top going to

00:32get control first time cup winner since 1993 but the Florida Panthers had other plans an exciting

00:38series all the way through a couple games got away from Edmonton but it was clear Joe the Florida

00:43Panthers were the best team in hockey in this playoff run wave after wave great goaltending play

00:48key players stepping up at the right time like I don't know four goals in a Stanley Cup final

00:53clinching game number six for Sam Reinhardt last night it just works the organization from top

00:59to bottom has gotten it right three straight Stanley Cup appearances two straight cups here South Florida

01:05Florida was the laughingstock like oh eventually they'll probably move the team because hockey

01:09doesn't work in Florida look at Tampa look at Florida Joe it's amazing to watch this but you were

01:15in the building last night tell us how it went down in that five to one victory over the Oilers

01:20right you could not have asked for a a better clinching game for the cup where uh you know for

01:26the home fans it was never in doubt uh Donnie it really wasn't that first goal from uh Reinhardt as

01:34he's you know falling down steals the puck uh gets there falls down hits it in the top corner there and

01:41the place from that uh that point on the energy in the building was just over the top and then it was

01:48never really in bad you had what under 30 seconds to go in the first period and then you got Kachuk

01:53uh puts one in there and it just it was you saw after the first goal and by the way we talked about

02:01it yesterday right over one and a half goals Florida Panthers to score the first goal all those but

02:06it was like that the entire through six games Florida had always played with the lead Edmonton

02:14uh I think if I heard correctly one of the few teams that uh actually the fewest minutes led in

02:21a Stanley Cup series in a long long time so uh they just they made them play catch up and that is not

02:29how Edmonton rolls and uh from that point on it was just where's Connor McDavid where is Leon

02:36Drysaddle well the answer was nowhere to be found because the defense of Florida basically once again

02:42suffocated them in the two biggest games games five and six they did it again last night and that is why

02:48they are a repeat Stanley Cup champion all in the third team to do it in the salary cap era
