Sam Reinhart wasn't at the Panthers' first parade. He lived it up this time

Sam Reinhart made his way to the stage on Fort Lauderdale Beach on top of Brad Marchand's shoulders, pumping his fist and firing up a crowd of more than 200,000 Florida Panthers fans on Sunday afternoon. It was a moment long in the making. Reinhart didn't take part in the Panthers' championship parade last year when they won the Stanley Cup for the first time in franchise history because he had to attend his best friend's wedding that day. 'Obviously you'd love to be there for the parade and to celebrate with the fans,' Reinhart, who scored the game-winning goal in Game 7 of the 2024 Stanley Cup Final to secure the championship, said at the start of training camp. 'Certainly there's some FOMO [fear of missing out] there, but I made the right decision. I know that. Hopefully, it's something we can build towards again and I'll be there for the next one.' Fast forward one year, and here the Panthers are again on Fort Lauderdale Beach after winning a second consecutive Stanley Cup — something only six other teams have accomplished in the expansion era (since the 1967-68 season). And this time, Reinhart was there to enjoy in the festivities. After entering on Marchand's shoulders, he took the mic from captain Aleksander Barkov as a few notable plays from his Stanley Cup playoff run — including his first of four goals in the Cup-clinching Game 6 of the Cup Final against Edmonton — played on screen. 'The only thing I've heard all day is how this is the best parade that's ever happened in South Florida,' Reinhart said. 'Thank God I missed last year and not this year.' Reinhart then channeled in inner DJ Khaled for the rest of his speech. 'We the best! And I mean that!' said Reinhart, who led the Panthers with 39 goals and 81 points in the regular season, tied for the team lead with 23 points (11 goals, 12 assists in the playoffs) and finished runner-up to Barkov for the Selke Trophy given annually to the NHL's best defensive forward. 'Another one!' It capped a wild week that saw Reinhart unleash his wild side. His peak moments came Thursday night into Friday morning when the team went to E11even, a worldwide known nightclub in Miami. Reinhart climbed a stripper pole to grab a signed Barkov jersey from the a trapeze bar hanging from the rafters to chants of his nickname, 'Reino! Reino!' Later in the night, Reinhart was seen with forward Evan Rodrigues pouring shots down people's throats and even handing out full bottles. 'Reino's had a couple legendary moments so far,' Marchand said. Added coach Paul Maurice on Saturday: 'I would think any celebration and anything that he would enjoy like that would be strictly for the other players, the laughter amongst them, right? Sam's not trying to build a brand here, but he has one in our room. He's got a great sense of humor. He's very, very bright. Really well spoken. Understands the game at a high level. He understands the game completely differently and on a higher level than I do because he's a player. He's a quiet man, but he has a voice. When you need it, he will say something on the bench. He has a great sense of when they need him to speak and he has that time.'

'This is amazing': Panthers celebrate 2nd consecutive Stanley Cup with another parade

Associated Press FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Champagne was swilled and spilled, cigars were smoked and the Stanley Cup was hoisted a few more times, all with about 400,000 people watching. The Florida Panthers are getting pretty good at these parades. The back-to-back Stanley Cup champions had their championship parade and rally on Fort Lauderdale Beach on Sunday, the same setup as last year — except this time, bright sunshine greeted the champs as opposed to downpours and lightning a year ago. 'It's a little better day today than it was last year, but still, this is amazing,' Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov said. 'What a day we're having with you guys.' Panthers coach Paul Maurice declared this 'the summer of love' for fans of the team, doing so while wearing another shirt featured his beloved cats Poppy and Penny — a shirt made by his daughter. He wore a similar shirt to last year's parade, also made by his daughter. There were cries of 'Thank you, Boston' when Brad Marchand — who came to Florida in a trade with the rival Bruins — was introduced. Marchand, a free agent, again indicated that he wants to be back with the Panthers, who won this season's Cup by topping the Edmonton Oilers in six games. 'I'm so happy that I don't have to play against these guys anymore,' Marchand said, pointing to his Florida teammates. Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk drew loud roars when he told the crowd that he 'would like to apologize to absolutely ... nobody because a double champ does whatever ... he wants," copying a line used by Conor McGregor when he became a double UFC champion. 'I could get used to this,' Tkachuk said as he looked out at the crowd — some of whom were in the water, with most others packed hundreds of yards deep down the sand. Tkachuk then thanked team owner Vincent Viola and general manager and hockey operations president Bill Zito for trading for him three years ago, saying it changed his life. Defenseman Aaron Ekblad, just as he did last year, took a shot at golfer Brooks Koepka who famously went to a Panthers game once to heckle the veteran defenseman. Forward Sam Reinhart, who scored four goals in the clinching win over Edmonton, missed last year's parade because a close friend was getting married. He didn't miss Sunday. 'The only thing I've heard all day is how this is the best parade that's ever been had in South Florida," Reinhart said. 'Thank God I missed last year and not this year.' Goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky thanked the crowd, and said he hoped there was another parade next year. And Sam Bennett, the Conn Smythe Trophy winner, heard the crowd chanting their hopes of him getting a new contract with the Panthers. So, he ended his speech with the same request. 'Eight more years, please,' Bennett said. ___ AP NHL playoffs: and recommended
