Florida Panthers GM Bill Zito has aggressive outburst after game 5 loss
The Florida Panthers general manager Bill Zito had an aggressive outburst after last night's loss during game 5 against the Edmonton Oilers.
Bill Zito and the Panthers had an opportunity to win the Stanley Cup last night. Unfortunately for them, the Oilers had the upper hand for the second straight game, forcing everyone to return to Edmonton for a sixth game.
Most people in the NHL wait years before they get an opportunity to accomplish their dream of winning the Cup. When you're so close, every time you give a win to your opponent, it can be hard.
Last night, during the final seconds of the game, Connor McDavid scored the game-winning goal into an empty net following a great defensive effort by Matthew Tkachuk.
After the goal, Bill Zito had an emotional outburst from the stands.
Check out Matthew Tkachuk's effort, Connor McDavid's goal, and Bill Zito's reaction in the video below:
At this point in the series, the Oilers are going back to Edmonton with the momentum, and it looks like anything can happen.
In front of their fans, they'll get the opportunity to tie the series and force a game seven in Florida.
