As part of their success, the Florida Panthers had a chance to celebrate with all the people of their team's hometown. The Fort Lauderdale parade has quickly become a crowded success, with fans lining the whole block as Lord Stanley gets passed around and players like Sergei Bobrovsky get a chance to speak.
Though all of these moments and characteristics are newsworthy on their own, one moment from the parade stuck out above the rest. This occurred when 26-year-old Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk got a chance to speak. During this, he could not avoid using this time to throw shade at Edmonton for their tough loss.
Though many NHL fans suggested a Florida Panthers win would make nearly no one happy, this parade and statement disproves those assertions very clearly. However, with the bold taunt from Matthew Tkachuk, the Edmonton Oilers could be looking to come back next year with a vengeance.
