The Florida Panthers made history Tuesday night as the third team in the salary cap era (since 2005-06) to win back-to-back Stanley Cups. They also became the fourth team in NHL history to beat the same team in consecutive years to win a Stanley Cup.

Fully prepared this year, after last season’s Elbo Room surprise party, Florida Panthers fans began gathering before 6 a.m. for a chance to party with the Stanley Cup on Fort Lauderdale

Lightning head coach Jon Cooper had some strong words for the Panthers as they defeated his team in the first round this year: "It was our turn, now it's theirs."
