How the Panthers Went Back-to-Back and What’s Next

The Panthers completed their second consecutive Stanley Cup Final run in dominant fashion, thanks mainly to savvy moves by their front office. But the formula to keep up their winning ways could get complicated in this offseason, says FOS editor Meredith Turits.

Plus, NBA meme king Josiah Johnson joins Baker Machado and Renee Washington to explain how NBA Twitter has influenced the league’s decisions, especially during these Finals, and how fake news account NBACentel factors into it all.

Also, Tuesday’s skirmish involving Caitlin Clark has WNBA fans calling out a league-wide refereeing problem, FIFA Club World Cup attendance is concerningly low for some matches, and Noah Lyles cancels his race with Tyreek Hill.
