The Florida Panthers clinched the Eastern Conference championship by defeating the Carolina Hurricanes 5-3, showcasing resilience and teamwork. A remarkable play by Aleksander Barkov set up Carter Verhaeghe's game-winning goal, demonstrating the depth of talent within the Panthers. Despite a challenging start where the Hurricanes led 2-0, Florida rallied thanks to goals from Matthew Tkachuk and Evan Rodrigues. Notably, the Panthers avoided touching the Prince of Wales Trophy, reflecting their superstitious mindset following their previous season's experience. This victory marks a significant milestone as they head to the Stanley Cup Final for the third straight year.
He's so elite, he beat a guy one-on-one...I can't believe he passed it. He's such a great player. It was all him.
That was a big time play. He's leading from the front this entire playoffs. I have so much more respect playing with him than playing against him.
