Florida Panthers 2024-25 Stanley Cup Betting
Last year, the Florida Panthers validated the patience and determination of the NHL to keep the Florida Panthers franchise going through some very lean times. From 2001 through 2019, the Panthers made the NHL Playoffs only three times. In South Florida, with all its distractions, that meant an arena full of empty seats. But in 2024, The Panthers won the Stanley Cup, their first to fully validate the franchise for good. Florida will be a popular future market pick for the upcoming season. But the Eastern Conference is wide open with plenty of capable challengers. Yet Florida has shown the fortitude to beat all comers.

Florida Panthers History
The Panthers were founded as a 1993-94 expansion team with the then Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. They made the Stanley Cup Final in their third season but have never made it back. Since 2000, the Panthers have only five postseason appearances. Owner Vincent Viola has spent several years and a lot of money trying to dig the franchise out of the muck.
Attendance for the Panthers has been low for most of the past two decades but has increased with their new success. Like the rest of the NHL, Florida has had to navigate the pandemic issues that have kept attendance down in many markets, even after restrictions loosened. The pandemic came at the worst possible time for the Panthers, as they were finally starting to get really good.
The Panthers' years of losing opened up the opportunity for several years of high draft choices. And for the past two seasons, we have seen improvements based on that new blood. Florida had a golden opportunity in the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs to win over new fans and build a higher customer base. It helps that they play an exciting and winning style of hockey. The Panthers are easy on the eyes as one of the NHL’s most entertaining teams.
But Florida flopped badly in the second round of the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Help arrived that summer with the arrival of power forward Keith Tkachuk and new head coach Paul Maurice.
And a berth in the Stanley Cup Final made 2023 a year to remember. But in 2024, the Panthers became immortal with their 2024 Stanley Cup championship.
