Last time the Florida Panthers made the Stanley Cup Final, social media didn't exist.

So the day after clinching a berth in the 2023 Stanley Cup Final, the team put out all of the celebratory content.

The Panthers, who began play during the 1993-94 season and made the 1996 Cup Final [where they lost to the Colorado Avalanche], started with a little bench jubilation, which is always fun.

Fan reaction to Matthew Tkachuk's game-winning goal in the waning seconds was also a great watch.

There were plenty of special guests in the house, including former Panthers forward Jaromir Jagr.

The Miami Dolphins were notably represented by Football Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino and current head coach Mike McDaniel.

Another former Panthers forward, Bill Lindsay - who scored a memorable, series-clinching goal against the Boston Bruins in the 1996 Eastern Conference First Round - couldn't contain his excitement in the NHL Network studio.

Of course, the NBA Eastern Conference champion Miami Heat spoke up, as did MLS squad Inter Miami FC.

Safe to say in South Florida, the party is just getting started.
