It might surprise you to learn that they have a 2-0-1 record against Washington this year, which is pretty incredible considering that Washington has all of 11 losses all year long and has dominated the entire league.
IMO, the Panthers are absolutely a cup contender in that they have a very good shot of making it to the cup final. Once you're there, it's all about who's healthier and who's playing better at that time.
Also, why are they not a cup contender next season either? That's the part that didn't make much sense to me.
