Panthers mock Bruins, Leafs and Hurricanes ahead of Game 4.

The Florida Panthers are reminding their vanquished foes of their path to the Stanley Cup Final.

The Florida Panthers have regained some of their swagger with a big win in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final to bring the series back within 1, and that swagger may be showing ahead of tonight's Game 4 between the Panthers and Vegas Golden Knights.

The Panthers players themselves no doubt remain solely focused on the opponent in front of them tonight, but the Panthers marketing department instead has turned their attention to the teams already dispatched by the Panthers in these Stanley Cup playoffs. Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press has shared a photo of some of the swag that Panthers fans will receive when they get to their seats this evening, including a towel that pokes a little fun at the expense of the Boston Bruins, Toronto Maple Leafs and Carolina Hurricanes.

The towel, which is white with red writing, features the names of all three cities on it but they each have a giant red line slashed through those names to highlight the fact that they have been defeated by the Panthers.

Of course this is just a little bit of extra fun for fans that will be on hand for Game 4, but the Panthers might have to hear about their hubris this evening if they are unable to tie up the series against the Golden Knights later tonight.
