The Florida Panthers celebrated their back-to-back championship in a parade and gathering on the beach, attracting nearly 400,000 fans.\n\nThe event, similar to the previous year&#8217;s, this time had sunny weather that contrasted with the rain of the previous celebration.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>It&#8217;s a much better day than last year, but still, this is amazing. What a day we&#8217;re having with you!<\/p><cite>Aleksander Barkov, Panthers captain<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nCoach Paul Maurice, sporting a special jersey designed by his daughter, declared this &#8220;the summer of love&#8221; for the team&#8217;s fans.\n\nThe fans celebrated the presence of Brad Marchand, who arrived at the team in a trade and expressed his desire to continue with the Panthers. Forward Matthew Tkachuk, with a phrase inspired by Conor McGregor, generated great enthusiasm among those present.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I could get used to this.<\/p><cite>Matthew Tkachuk<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nTkachuk thanked team owner Vincent Viola and general manager Bill Zito for the change that transformed his life.\n\nDefenseman Aaron Ekblad, repeating his gesture from last year, threw a jab at golfer Brooks Koepka. Sam Reinhart, who missed the previous parade, didn&#8217;t want to miss this celebration and shared his joy with the fans.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The only thing I&#8217;ve heard all day is that this is the best parade that has been done in South Florida. Thank God I missed last year&#8217;s and not this one.<\/p><cite>Sam Reinhart<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nGoaltender Sergei Bobrovsky expressed his hope of repeating the celebration next year. Sam Bennett, winner of the Conn Smythe Trophy, listened to the fans&#8217; chants asking for his contract renewal and ended his speech with that same request.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Eight more years, please.<\/p><cite>Sam Bennett<\/cite><\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fort Lauderdale was once again dressed in celebration, with champagne, cigars, and the Stanley Cup shining in the sun.
