Stanley Cupdate - On the Prowl for a Repeat - May 29, 2025

A second period blitz coupled with some late game heroics and, just like that, the Florida Panthers are back in the Stanley Cup Final. Vic and Neil break down the how it came together for the Cats and came apart for the 'Canes.

The Panthers opponent could be determined Thursday evening. If that happens, it will be just the fifth rematch of a Final in consecutive years since expansion. However, the Dallas Stars will be looking to delay the plans of the Edmonton Oilers, who have lost one of their key forwards to shoulder surgery.

This Day in Stanley Cup History looks back to the hat trick that propelled the Kings to their first-ever Stanley Cup Final...and perhaps why it shouldn't have had the opportunity to occur.
