Sam Bennett of the Florida Panthers celebrated winning the Conn Smythe Trophy following the team’s Stanley Cup victory over the Edmonton Oilers. Bennett, who scored a league-high 15 playoff goals including five in the Finals, humbly acknowledged that multiple teammates could have received the award. Coach Paul Maurice praised Bennett’s resilience and hard work since being traded from Calgary. Since joining the Panthers, Bennett has consistently excelled, contributing significantly both in scoring and defensively, truly embodying the team’s competitive spirit over the years.
"My whole focus is on winning the Stanley Cup... it's a huge honor, but it really could have went to 25 guys. Every single guy played a huge part."
"For Sam Bennett to be here today with this group of guys... there's a lot of heaviness that he had to go through."
