On the eve of the Stanley Cup Final, Florida Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk hasn't lost his confidence. In fact, he is doubling down on his Florida team, the surprise darlings of the postseason.

"We didn't do it the easy way, that's for sure," Tkachuk said at Stanley Cup Final media day in Las Vegas, ahead of Saturday's Game 1 against the Golden Knights. "For us to knock off this juggernaut in Vegas, it would probably be the hardest road to the Stanley Cup in history. So that's our goal is to knock off this team and see if we can make history."
