In a stunning turn of events, the Florida Panthers defeated the New York Rangers in Game 6, sealing their spot in the Stanley Cup Final. Despite the Rangers' exceptional regular season and strong start in the playoffs, the Panthers' resilience proved too much to handle.

The curse of the Presidents' Trophy haunted them, raising doubts about the team's core strength and ability to clinch the ultimate victory. Despite the tough loss, the Rangers' memorable season highlighted their resilience and determination, setting the stage for potential transformations and challenges ahead.
