Stanley Cup Finals: Here are Palm Beach County's best bars for watching Panthers-Oilers

The Florida Panthers are playing in what local fans hope is the final game of the Stanley Cup Finals on Tuesday night.

With Game 5 on tap, and Florida leading Edmonton 3 games to 1 in the best-of seven-series, The Palm Beach Post takes a look at the aptly-named "Cats on Tap," local restaurants and bars where Panthers supporters can enjoy all the Stanley Cup action with fellow fans in Palm Beach County.

The telecast begins at 8 p.m., but you might want to get to these places earlier than that to see if Florida can win its first Stanley Cup.
