When the Florida Panthers face the Philadelphia Flyers at BB&T Center on Saturday, they will celebrate the 20-year anniversary of the 1995-96 Stanley Cup Final team.
Most of the members of the 1995-96 Panthers, who made an improbable run through the Eastern Conference before losing to the Colorado Avalanche in the Final, are expected to be in attendance, along with former president Bill Torrey, former general manager Bryan Murray and former coach Doug MacLean.
While sharing memories about that memorable spring two decades ago, the 1995-96 Panthers will be watching a 2015-16 Florida team which they believe could repeat their feat of 20 years ago, and maybe go one step further.
