Sam Bennett and Matthew Tkachuk each had a goal and an assist and Carter Verhaeghe scored the game-winning goal late in the third to elevate the Florida Panthers to a 5-3 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes to advance to the Stanley Cup Final.

Congrats to the Panthers on getting the opportunity to get destroyed by the Oilers in the Cup Final.
that was a real good game, what you like to see in a conference final!
I definitely wanted this. I want the Oilers to get their revenge
GO CATS!!!!
Oilers in 6
Second straight year (most likely) the playoffs are contested by the two furthest teams.
Bennett trying to elbow Anderson in the head is crazy. What a dirty mfer. A player you definitely want on your team though lol.
Honestly, like a cat with a mouse. Carolina is useless in defense. PANTHERS ARE POWERFUL
Wow!!! Can’t believe the referee didn’t see Bennett elbowing Andersen. When will he get what he deserves. Gezzz first with Toronto goalie and now Hurricanes. Who’s next? No wonder they win the cup.
Former Leafs fan here, Let’s go Oilers!
Canes played with lot of heart just wasn't quite enough 😕
That empty new goal was the best chance to finish off Bennett. What a wasted opportunity! You let your goalie get elbowed like that and you do nothing. Just like the Leafs, deserved outcome for the Canes.
This league is rigged and skewed to the tax free american markets that can get more/better players cause of it.That being said Bennet most complete player right now, see you in York this summer bud 🇨🇦
Should’ve gave FLA some back with a 2 hander on Bennett’s empty net goal…he faked it but Bennett wouldn’t have
Our BBB of fortune: Bobby, Barky and Bennett. Go Cats! in Bob we trust!😺😺😺😺🏒
Let's go Florida baby but if im that canes player in that game im plowing dude who put in the empty netter lol game can end in a brawl
Yup Florida made a play for one goal. Then the refs took over and got assists on 3 more for them. Sad they were so in love with them in this series the Hurricanes never had a chance. The most penalized team in the NHL during the season again gets the calls in the Eastern Conference Finals getting tough to watch. More cross checks then hits.
Getting tired of Bettmans Panthers. Also the fact that no one has stepped up to Bennett is insane.
You know what I don't get about Americans, is them chanting USA whenever they win.
I mean if let's say Brazil is hosting the olympics and a Chinese athlete wins a gold, Brazilians are not going to chant their country name because just because the Athlete is physically in their country. So Americans must be like, 'Barkov and all the Finnish and Canadian players are playing on OUR land. GO USA!' Bizarre reasoning, tbh because none of the players are what they are now because USA had any part in their training. And even the Coach is Canadian…
Repeat of last season for the Cup. Congrats to the Panthers 🎉
Bennett again trying to injure another goaltender 😂😂 hopefully they don’t win the Stanley cup
Caniacs deserve better great fan base florida parade was so sad 😞
no goalie = no cup
Wow, what a play on the fourth goal
Same final as last year so damn Boring
The hive mind of the Panthers persists
Spoiler blocker 😂
Barkov is a machine! His father won the cup and became champion a couple of days ago in Russia with the Spartak youth team🔴⚪🥇🏆! And his son is going for his second cup!
как-то легко и быстро всё прошло. накатывает прошлогодний финал
I prefer the Oilers
Carolina has to be up there with top chokers of the NHL
Every hockey fan should know who Barkov is by now, but at the same time I still think he’s not talked about enough. That assist on the gwg was just insane.
The Cats better celebrate now, because the Oilers are taking the Cup🏆
Jose Mourinho would've called something like this "football heritage" we call it championship dna
Anyone else totally stoked for a Panthers/Oilers rematch? I am.
Nhl change the playoff format back to 1vs8 for christ sakes!! Garbage same matchups every year
Another elbow to the head to Carolina's goalie by Sam Bennett. When is the league going to penalise and suspend this guy. NHL shame on you. Don't worry Sam, if the league can't do it, your karma is coming shortly, then you'll remember all those hits you dished out. Shame on you.
Всё идёт к финалу прошлого года
Looks like the final will be a rematch and have to say the Panthers with the upper hand.
Gotta feel for the hurricanes. They put it out there every year and just get cut down gruesomely
Bennett with another elbow to the head of a goalie, such a pos
Очень хорошо!!!! Свечу надо карму почистить, бить со спины – это мерзко.
Dynasty?
I see the same mirror. For the third time. Unfortunately.
Insane how comfortable Bennett feels to freely be able to take headshots, what an absolute joke
Bob had a rare human day, but the FLA grinder was grinding. And Barkov just took a bunch of kids from Raleigh to SCHOOL.

Carolina:
"What an amazing pass and assist from the Panthers" 😂😂😂
