Before Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final at Amerant Bank Arena, the Panthers brought in a familiar face to bang the drum and get the crowd fired up.

Wearing his old Panthers sweater, Hockey Hall of Fame goalie Roberto Luongo led the crowd in a “Let’s Go Panthers!” chant to get the fans excited for one of the biggest games in franchise history.

Luongo spent 11 of his 19 NHL seasons in net for the Panthers.

Luongo currently serves as a special advisor to the general manager for the Panthers, a position he took shortly after his retirement in 2019.

As if Luongo wasn’t enough to bring the energy before the game, Grammy-Award-winning singer Alanis Morissette sang both the Canadian and United States National Anthems, which turned into a sing-along with the fans in attendance.
