The Florida Panthers are back in the Eastern Conference Finals, aiming to win the Stanley Cup after losing in the Finals last year.
This season, the Panthers have a more serious and focused approach compared to last year’s team. Coach Paul Maurice attributes this change to the team’s leadership and their belief in themselves.
Florida Learned from Last Year’s Cup Run
Despite injuries early in the season, the Panthers persevered and finished first in their division. They’ve also shown discipline by taking fewer penalties in the playoffs compared to last year.
The Panthers now face the New York Rangers, who won the Presidents’ Trophy. However, Florida remains confident and focused on their ultimate goal – the Stanley Cup.
While last year’s Panthers relied on a surprise run and loose attitude, this year’s team is determined to learn from their experience and finish the job. They understand the challenges ahead but are ready to face them with a newfound maturity and focus on the ultimate prize.
