Sun-Sentinel: Florida Panthers

As the Panthers return to the Stanley Cup Finals, the Cats and rats story continues. And you may wonder: Who started it? Who threw the first rat?

With a 26th sellout of the season expected for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Final on Saturday night, when the Panthers play host to the New York Rangers, Florida has already lured more fans to its rink this year than in any other in the team’s 30-season history. And the team’s ticket revenue has climbed 50% from where it was just two years ago, according to data shared with The Associated Press.

Anton Lundell, a 22-year-old forward, scored in the third period to help give the Panthers the advantage in a 3-2 win over the Rangers. Florida has a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference finals.

With the Panthers' overtime win in Game 4 on Tuesday night, the Eastern Conference finals are now a best-of-three series, and the Rangers have home-ice advantage.

Sam Reinhart ended Game 4 with his overtime goal. It breathed life back into not just this series, but this Florida Panthers season. Now, on to New York it goes.

Sam Reinhart scored early in overtime to give the Panthers a 3-2 win over the Rangers, evening the Eastern Conference Final at two games apiece.

The notion of the New York Rangers standing as a moving target for the Florida Panthers in this best-of-seven Eastern Conference Stanley Cup playoff series certainly has its merits.

Dear Rangers fans, South Florida doesn't hate New York — we love New York. After all, in many ways we are New York. Or we were New York.

The Panthers have been dominant in overtime games during this two-year playoff stretch. The New York Rangers didn't seem to know that with a dramatic goal to take Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals
