All of you have a happy Monday. Remember that the New York Rangers were eliminated over the weekend if you need a quick smile to start the workweek!
In relation to it, how did the Florida Panthers return to the Stanley Cup Final the previous season? From the Penguins in 2008 and 2009, Florida is the first team to lose the SCF and return the following year. [NHL.com]
When it came to carrying the Prince of Wales trophy last year and not touching it on Saturday, the Panthers pulled a Penguin double take.

Last night, McDavid added what might be his hallmark goal—walking a terrific defense in Miro Heiskanen and completing a beauty—in the Malkin vs. Hurricanes match. [Hover – Twitter]
The SCF schedule is available, and it will be a long wait until Saturday night for Game 1. The last game of the series will take place on June 24 if it extends to seven games. Increasingly dependent on the money that TV rights holders are giving out strikes! [Sportsnet]
