By STEPHEN WHYNO Brad Marchand joked that when he was traded to the Florida Panthers from the Boston Bruins, he looked at the lineup and wondered if he would be playing on the fourth line again.

The Florida Panthers are just one win away from being crowned NHL champions for a second consecutive season after a resounding 5-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final Saturday night at Rogers Place in Edmonton.

The good vibes are all here, but the fellas know this series is far from over as things sit 3-2. In 2024, the Florida Panthers made history by winning their first-ever Stanley Cup Championship.
