- The Panthers dominated this postseason by leading for 51% of the game time, facing only one elimination game, and relying on strong contributions from six players with over 20 points.
- Tkachuk described the team as 'special' and said, 'got to be a dynasty now,' while goalie Sergei Bobrovsky stated, "We're going to enjoy this together. And then, we'll go back to work."
- The Panthers now aim to retain much of their roster during upcoming free agency, preparing for a parade and continuing their unprecedented franchise success with back-to-back championships.
