Panthers' plans for long Stanley Cup Finals flights. Plus Lorentz's journey, watch parties
Briefly

The Florida Panthers face a record distance of 2,541 miles to travel between home and road games in the Stanley Cup Finals.
"It's gonna be a long flight. I think it's [about] getting rest when you need it. We like to play cards sometimes. Recovery's the biggest thing. Whenever you get on the plane and when you get there, you've kind of got to get your body right to what it needs for the day or what you need to do to feel good the next day." - Forward Carter Verhaeghe
"I play poker. We have a good group. Cuzzy [Nick Cousins] definitely is the last guy that's taking the cash in poker, but I don't know if I could play poker for six hours, to be honest. I'll probably do some poker, a little bit of a fake nap, walk around, back to playing poker. It is a long flight. You only do it a couple times a year. That part is going to be a little different this series, definitely." - Forward Matthew Tkachuk
"That's going to be, what, six hours or so? You try to stay busy. Some guys play poker, watch movies, hang out. Guys like to sleep. I don't play poker, but I like to have conversation around that table." - Defenseman Brandon Montour
