Matthew Tkachuk of the Florida Panthers emphasized a “us against the world” mentality as they prepare for Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Edmonton Oilers, trailing 1-0 after a 4-3 overtime loss. Tkachuk acknowledged the Oilers’ improved performance and noted the Panthers’ need for better consistency and forechecking to capitalize on opportunities. Game 2 is critical, as historically, the winner of Game 1 has a strong advantage in the series outcomes, having won 76% of the time.
