After a heartbreaking OT loss in Game 1, the Panthers bounce back with an overtime thriller of their own to knot the series 1-1.
The revenge was sweet — and soaked in sweat and Florida humidity.
The Florida Panthers weren’t about to let another overtime party end in someone else’s champagne shower. In Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final, they dug deep, ignored the ghosts of Game 1, and pulled off a 2–1 OT win over the Edmonton Oilers, tying the series at 1-1.
The crowd? Pandemonium. The mood? “Let’s bring this Cup to the beach.”

Florida didn’t just win — they outlasted. They clogged passing lanes, laid out bone-rattling hits, and refused to let McDavid or his turbo jets fly unchecked. When overtime hit, they were ready — emotionally, physically, spiritually, and yes, with about 50 gallons of sweat on the ice.
The game-winner? Straight-up playoff poetry. A greasy goal born from chaos, rebounds, and sheer willpower. Just how Coach drew it up… probably while yelling.
🥶 Oilers: Close, But No Overtime Cigar This Time
Edmonton came out flying again, with Connor McDavid doing his usual impression of a hockey-playing Ferrari. But after Game 1’s OT win, the luck clocked out early. A few missed chances here, a blocked shot there — and suddenly they were heading to the locker room tied instead of up 2–0.
Still, no panic in Alberta. This series is just heating up… and possibly melting in the Florida heat.
Next: The Ice Shifts to FLORIDA
With the series heading north, the Panthers have the home ice advantage — and possibly the loudest fans this side of a Taylor Swift concert. Can Edmonton handle the pressure? Or will the Panthers use home cooking (and cooler air) to regain control?
Whatever happens, Game 3 is shaping up to be a frosty banger.
