Strong to severe thunderstorm chances loom over Chicago area; damaging winds, hail possible ...Middle East

It’s not every day a franchise joins an exclusive stat club. 

That said, the Warriors, Athletics, Detroit Pistons and Florida Panthers now find themselves in an exclusive club together. 

Clinching its third straight Championship Round appearance after not having clinched once in any of the 25 seasons prior, the Panthers accomplished something only the aforementioned teams had previously done (h/t Greg Harvey).

The Panthers are back in the Stanley Cup Finals for a third straight season after a 4-1 series win over the Hurricanes on Wednesday.

Looking to secure back-to-back Stanley Cups, Florida is the latest (2023-25) franchise to accomplish the feat since the Warriors (2015-19). 

Prior to Golden State’s historic five consecutive NBA Finals appearances, the Pistons, spearheaded by Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame guard Isiah Thomas, made three consecutive Finals appearances.

The Athletics, on the other hand, were the first franchise to accomplish the feat (1972-74). 

It’s growing, but the Panthers joined a truly exclusive stat club.
