The Florida Panthers punched their ticket back to the Stanley Cup Final for the third straight year with a 5-3 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday night. When the game was over the players from each side went through the handshake line as is customary at the end of a NHL playoff series.
Panthers head coach Paul Maurice, however, did not go through that line. Instead, he talked Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour into sitting it out with him.
