In his recent entry for the Stanley Cup Finals, Evan Rodrigues spoke about the Panthers winning Game 5 against the Edmonton Oilers with a 5-2 score. He also shared insights on the travel and practice routine of the Panthers.Speaking on the training for the Stanley Cup Finals, he shared, "The trip here on Friday for the most part is doing what we kind have been doing when we come to Edmonton.
We come the day before, we have a routine of what we do when we land, so it felt normal to us. And after the Game 4 loss, it felt good just to get back out there and get back on the ice."Sharing more insights into their routine, he said, "We have our recovery stuff. Some guys bike when we get in, you try to get the blood flowing and get your legs moving. Guys do different things over the past two years, for a guy like me, and three years for some of the guys have been here.
Guys have certain routines that they like to do, they feel the best at, and that’s kind of what we did. We had three games last year that we kind of went through that routine, another one this year, so we just get into a routine and do what gave us success in the past and got ready for Game 5.

He shared, "When we go back home, we’ll do what we’ve done in two or the past three years. You have your thing. There’s such a routine now. We’ve gone back home, we’ve had these two-day breaks and guys have found what works best for them and that’s what we’ll do. And that’s the benefit of having the experience, you just fall into your routine, you’re not really searching for something, you’re not wondering what to do.
You’ve done it. Guys have done it, I don’t know, 20-30 times over the past few seasons, so you go home, do your routine and get ready for Game 6."
