[Applause] [Music] [Applause] slow yes SL for the first time in their
30-year history the Florida Panthers are Stanley Cup champions they made it about as
hard on themselves as they possibly could battling a valiant Edmonton team that had
rallied from adversity all season long and Paul Maurice coaching lifer 30 years in the
National Hockey League has his Stanley Cup and can fully take his place now alongside
the alltime coaching greates in the NHL out of hockey after he walked away from
