As the Stanley cup final nears, the two teams that are playing are the Florida Panthers and the Vegas Golden Knights. These two teams have defied all odds on making it to the final, Florida by beating the best team this season and Vegas with beating out some of the best teams this season. Both teams have surprised many hockey fans as both were lower on the stats and leader board compared to the other teams entering the playoffs.

Savannah Dammann has a prediction for the end of the season. “I think the Panthers will win because they have a great goalie in net, and they have some pretty good players,” she said.

The Panthers have Sergi Bobrovsky (Goalie), he has played a huge part in Florida’s dominating Stanley Cup run, he has made some great and amazing saves. The Panthers also have some really good players such as Matthew Tkachuk and Eric Staal.

Jesse Hall feels the Knights have a chance. “I think that Vegas will win because of their speed and their passing ability.” The Vegas Golden Knights have proved throughout these playoffs that their speed and passing ability is a formidable force that has yet to be stopped by any team. Florida will have a tough time dealing with Vegas.

London Owens said this about the Florida Panthers and Vegas Golden Knights series, “I think it will be close series with Florida having one of the best goalies in the league and Vegas having a pretty sound offense, it will be hard for either team to score on each other.” Both Florida and Vegas have proved that they deserve to be in this series. Both teams have defied the odds and battled back from defeat multiple times throughout their Stanley Cup runs. This is going to be an exciting series to watch, it can go either way for either team.
