Putting on a white Florida Panthers jersey, Miami Dolphins mentor Mike McDaniel produced a unique overall look at Amerant Financial institution Arena on Saturday for Match 1 of the Stanley Cup Ultimate.
McDaniel led the Panthers’ pregame festivities by banging the drum and encouraging the sellout group to chant “Let us go Panthers!” ahead of the puck drop. It went about as you’d assume.
McDaniel’s pregame endeavours appeared to pay out off, as the Panthers scored first on a objective by middle Carter Verhaeghe just four minutes into the recreation. They scored all over again two minutes into the next period for a 2–0 lead when centre Evan Rodrigues lit the lamp for his fourth target of this year’s Stanley Cup playoffs.
Recreation 1 wasn’t McDaniel’s initially time banging the drum at Amerant Bank Arena. He also did it very last May possibly in advance of the Panthers’ Video game 4 matchup against the Carolina Hurricanes in the Jap Meeting Final—which they gained 4–3 to progress to the 2023 Stanley Cup ultimate.
McDaniel will be equipped to appreciate the rest of the Panthers’ Stanley Cup operate, as his Dolphins wrapped up organized group functions and necessary minicamp previous 7 days.
