Matthew Tkachuk Shares the Thrill of Winning Second Stanley Cup After Once Again Upsetting the Oilers

Continuing to revel in the glory of winning a 2nd straight Stanley Cup, Florida Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk provides the latest update on ongoing party.

The partying continues in South Florida, as the Florida Panthers remained on top of the NHL world after their 2nd straight Stanley Cup victory over the Edmonton Oilers.

Not only did they win the SCF in 6 games this time around as opposed to 7 games like last year, but they also once again denied the Oilers what would have been their 1st championship since 1990.

Matthew Tkachuk, who later revealed that he was playing through some considerable injuries, joined NHL Network to talk about the ongoing celebrations and what made this year's title different from last year's.

It's been an incredible few weeks, just like last year. I think what was so different this year, comparing it to last year, which maybe made it more fun this time around was that you know what to expect. Last year, we're waking up every day not knowing what's coming for that day with the Cup.

We won so late last year too, that it was weird that the Cup had to go to Vegas for the Draft and the Awards, and then it was free agency, so we really only had it for a few days. This year, we had it for a week and a bit, and we did a lot of celebrating. We earned it. We worked so hard on the ice, and we deserve to have a little fun off it.
