Pittsburgh PenguinsUltimately, the past season was a rather lackluster one for the Florida Panthers, but I don’t believe I would call it a failure just yet. Looking back, there’s something positive that can be taken from this season to satisfy all of the different groups of optimists/pessimists/pundits/loyal fans/etc. For instance, there’s the #2 overall draft spot ...
After a hard-luck season, the Florida Panthers draft second overall in a very talented draft class. Will they take Nate MacKinnon or Jonathan Drouin?
It’s been a pretty rough few months down in the Sunshine State. The Florida Panthers were the darlings of the NHL Playoffs last season, and now their in the basement. Riding the pine. Playing golf in April. And it sucks. But you know what makes it better? Ruining other teams’ chances of making the playoffs ...
Alex Kovalev was the first Russian-born player ever to be drafted in the first round of the NHL Entry Draft, picked 15th overall in 1991 by the New York Rangers and quickly distinguished himself with his impressive stickhandling abilities and laser-like wrist shot.
Kovalev may have been the most talented player many had ever seen, but whether his talent translated to the ice was an entirely different proposition.
Last week, New Jersey Devils’ goaltender Martin Brodeur secured his 666th career win in a hard fought 2-1 victory over the Florida Panthers. As usual, Brodeur was spectacular in net that evening, stopping 17 of 18 Panthers’ shots on goal. While 666 may be just another number on Brodeur’s long Hall of Fame resume, both ...
It has become the bane of so many. Hit X got this but Hit Y was identical and received nothing. The problem has driven people (fans, media, players, coaches, etc.) bonkers for decades. However, with the advent of social media, this outrage or discussion has taken on new levels of lunacy or fierce debate.
Some general managers like to build their team with a lot of offensive punch (Pittsburgh Penguins and Chicago Blackhawks), while others prefer to build their team with a strong goalie tandem (Boston Bruins or Los Angeles Kings). Finally, some GMs prefer to build their team with a very deep defensive corps. Two months into the ...
On Friday night it was announced that the Florida Panthers had acquired defenseman T.J. Brennan from the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for a 5th round draft pick in 2013. The 5th round pick that the Panthers are sending to the Sabres was received when the team traded Keaton Ellerby to the Los Angeles Kings on ...
The Florida Panthers are not where they thought they be after coming off last season where they finished first in the Southeast Division. The team has been plagued with injuries including Kris Versteeg, with an upper-body injury and Dmitry Kulikov who is set to be out for four weeks, that is hurting the line-up. Either ...
Heading in to the 2013 season, the Florida Panthers and their fans strongly believed that rookie Jonathan Huberdeau would garner the team the national attention that it had been lacking throughout the past decade. While Huberdeau has been a revelation for the team throughout the year, it has been the play of another Panther that ...
