In a sport where northern ice and historic franchises have long dominated, the Florida Panthers rewrote the rules-and claimed the crown. In How Florida Panthers Won the Stanley Cup Finals, Paul Zillman takes readers deep into the heart of one of hockey's most unforgettable modern dynasties.
From the fierce matchups that shaped their 2025 championship run to the decisive battle in Game Six, this book captures the intensity, emotion, and strategy behind Florida's back-to-back triumphs. You'll relive the dramatic highs of Sam Reinhart's four-goal explosion, the cold-blooded calm of Sergei Bobrovsky between the pipes, and the unmatched grit of Sam Bennett, whose playoff brilliance earned him MVP honors.
But this is more than just a season recap. Zillman dives into the championship series, explores the unmatched leadership of Coach Paul Maurice, and places the Panthers' historic run alongside the likes of the Lightning, Penguins, and Red Wings in Historical Comparisons. With insightful chapters like Game Six: The Decisive Battle, Coaching Leadership and Strategy, Playoff MVP and Honors, and Florida's Back-to-Back Triumphs, this book offers a comprehensive and thrilling portrait of a team that didn't just win-they changed the game.
