The Florida Panthers are bound for the Stanley Cup Final.
Just as we all predicted.
(Kidding.)
In reality, Florida's trajectory this season reads like the plot of a classic Disney movie, a tale of plucky underdogs fueled by self-belief slaying dragons and beating the odds en route to unexpected victory. And with all the main characters aligned to make it happen.
Anti-hero Matthew Tkachuk has been the polarizing, productive face of the Panthers' playoff run.
Quiet, unassuming Sergei Bobrovsky is enjoying a career Renaissance as Florida's backbone in net.
