Boston fans, too, did not spare them after premature celebrations
Here's how fans of other teams hit out at Florida Panthers after their loss.
The Florida Panthers should be proud of their playoff run. Being the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference, they have beaten teams ranked much higher than them. They shocked President Trophy winners in Boston, took care of the Toronto Maple Leafs, and swept the Carolina Hurricanes.
But, on their way to the finals, they have annoyed teams and, now, those fans are celebrating their loss.
Vegas Golden Knights easily won against Florida Panthers in Game 5, beating them 9-3
In Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final on Tuesday at T-Mobile Arena, the Vegas Golden Knights defeated the Florida Panthers 9-3 to win the championship for the first time in their six seasons.
For Vegas, Stone notched a hat-trick, while Jack Eichel, Shea Theodore, and Reilly Smith each contributed three assists. 31 saves were made by Adin Hill.
The Golden Knights had 15 players with at least one point, including seven goal-scorers.
Sergei Bobrovsky made 22 saves for the Florida Panthers, who were led by Sam Reinhart and Sam Bennett, who both scored a goal and got an assist.
Matthew Tkachuk, a forward who was Florida's top scorer in the Stanley Cup Playoffs (24 points; 11 goals, 13 assists), was absent because of an injury he acquired in Game 3 but overcame to play in Game 4.
Before Game 5, the Panthers withheld information on Tkachuk's injury, which is thought to be to his upper body.
Vegas captain Mark Stone called it unbelievable and could describe his feelings after the win.
"I can't even describe the feelings in my stomach right now. Everything you can imagine. The grind of an 82-game season, four playoff rounds, you grind and you grind and you grind. At the end of the day, we're the last team standing. It's incredible."
