Stanley Cup Final: Game Five – Lineups, Broadcast Info, Game Thread

The Stanley Cup will be in the building — again. The Stanley Cup returns to action tonight in Florida with the Panthers able to win their first championship on their home ice in front of their own fans. As someone who was in the building in 2015 when the Blackhawks won the Cup in front of their fans, I think that’s a moment every fan and player dreams of. Not just winning it, but doing it at home is amazing. We’ll see tonight if the Panthers bounce back from their beating in Game Four with a win — and a title.

What to Watch For

  • McDavid is now the owner of the most assists in the history of the Stanley Cup playoffs. And he finally scored a goal. What does he have in store for us following his huge Game Four performance?
  • Bobrovsky looked human for the first time in weeks in Game Four. Can he bounce back from a rough night in front of his home crowd?
  • Speaking of that home crowd, here’s hoping Florida shows out tonight. Loud all night.
  • Get Caught Up
