Cup champion Panthers open training camp working on the way last season's title run ended
The puck went into the corner, to the left of Florida goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, with 14 seconds left in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — The puck went into the corner, to the left of Florida goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, with 14 seconds left in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final.
It never came out of that corner. And the Panthers will never forget what that meant.
How Florida finished last season — how it ran the final seconds off the clock in its 2-1, title-clinching win over Edmonton — is how the Panthers started this season. Training camp for the Stanley Cup champions opened Thursday and one of the drills on Day 1 very much resembled those frantic final moments of Game 7, with the puck in the corner and players being put to the test.
“It was an unbelievable feeling,” Panthers forward Eetu Luostarinen said. “I think every player lived for that moment and we're here to work for it.”
