have to respect how Florida turned their organization around. I used to think of them as a farm team for the rest of the league. They alway sucked, drafted high and would develop those players then ship them out to serious teams. The new ownership and bill zito have done an unbelievable job.
That was the problem. They sucked at developing prospects. They still suck. But they did give Lundell the best development by this organization. He just doesn't have the impact potential of numerous other prospects that they didn't development well.

One of the Stanley Cup finals I will always remember growing up was Uwe Krupp ending the series from the point against John Vanbiesbrouck. It happened on the Florida Panthers home ice in triple overtime in game 4. I can remember thinking about how hard it must have been to watch someone else hoist the Stanley Cup on your home ice. Even moreso with zero Stanley Cups.

It must feel amazing to finally win the Stanley Cup in game 7 on home ice, after waiting such a long time to finally become champions for the first time. Congratulations.
Winning in '96 would have been nice but just too easy, what made this win great was how much suffering we as fans have had to endure the last 25 years, and then losing last year in the Final. You couldn't have scripted it better, winning game 7 on home ice.

I have a question. Usually - the white house invites the champion to visit the white house during the season. So hypothetically, around November/December Florida Panthers might go to White House.

1. What about players who left Florida and are on other teams next season? Do they go too, or skip?
2. What about players who are added to Florida for next season, but weren't on this years' cup winning team. Do they join their new teammates and visit the white house?

Not the most important question, but I'm curious how that works
