Bill Zito Fumes in Press box after Panthers lose Game 5
Tonight, the Florida Panthers let another chance to clinch the Stanley Cup slip away in Game 5, and GM Bill Zito did not take the loss well.
In the potentially series-clinching Game 5, the Panthers fell to the Edmonton Oilers 5-3, as Connor McDavid racked up two goals and two assists for four points, adding to his playoff-leading total of 42.
It included the game-sealing tally into the yawning cage. The fatal blow sent Zito into a temper tantrum, realizing the series was going back to Alberta for game 6 in Rogers Place on Friday.
The crushing defeat left Panthers fans heartbroken, and a clip circulating online shows General Manager Bill Zito angrily chucking a water bottle after the game.

If the Oilers pull off another stunning win, anything could happen in a Game 7. The Panthers need to regroup quickly if they want to claim the Cup.
I thought nothing could make me feel warmer than this shot of Panthers GM Bill Zito as tonight's #Oilers game wound down.
The teams will have a couple of days off before Game 6 on Friday.
