SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — It used to be a running joke in Florida: If you wanted tickets to a Panthers game, just ask. Freebies weren’t hard to find.
Those days are long gone. Especially now.
The Panthers, for the first time in their history, are set to play a home game with a chance to win the Stanley Cup. They take a 3-1 lead over the Edmonton Oilers into Game 5 of the Cup final on Tuesday night with many tickets on the secondary market going for more than $1,000 apiece.
A historic night may await a franchise seeking its first NHL championship since its inaugural season 30 years ago.
