After spending some time earlier this month speculating on why the Florida Panthers would trade their former franchise center Stephen Weiss, it seems as if things may be happening faster than expected as a soap opera is starting to unfold in South Florida. After being one of the team’s top scoring options last season, Stephen ...
O Canada! For the second night in a row the Florida Panthers were absolutely crushed by our supposedly friendly neighbors to the north as the Cats lost the Canadiens 4-1 in Montreal on Tuesday night. Much like Monday night’s loss to the Ottawa Senators, the Panthers were completely lackadaisical on the ice as their game ...
During the NHL lockout, there’s not much for coaches to do with their time to stay in game shape. Sure they can hit the gym like the players, but I don’t see Bruce Boudreau getting that 5k run in. Maybe Barry Trotz won’t get rusty considering his tenure as the second longest serving NHL coach ...
Earlier this week, the finalists for the 2012 Jack Adams Award were released. John Tortorella, Ken Hitchcock, and Paul MacLean were all nominated as finalists for the honor, but it seems as though a couple of coaches could have vied for one of the finalist slots. Here’s a look at who was snubbed: The Rat ...
Worst to first, and not even a nomination. That’s what the Florida Panthers, Kevin Dineen, and his fans must come to grips with. Florida came in dead last in the eastern conference last season, went through an offseason that saw a virtual complete overhaul of the roster, stuck a rookie head coach behind the bench, ...
The Panthers won Game 2 of their first round series against the New Jersey Devils last night for the team’s first playoff win since April 17, 1997. Fans were excited to enjoy a playoff win that was fifteen years and fourteen seasons in the making. A lot has changed with the team, the league, and ...
Tonight ends a streak of 11 years, 11 months, and 29 days sans playoffs for the Florida Panthers. During that time, Florida has had eight coaches, eight general managers, and five captains. What else has happened since the Panthers last played a playoff game? Here’s a little rundown… April 20, 2000 – Florida Panthers lose ...
The New Jersey Devils will take on the Florida Panthers in Game 1 of their opening round Stanley Cup Playoffs series Friday night in Sunrise, Florida. The two teams split their four regular season contests (with one of the Devils wins coming in a shootout), including a notable collapse on November 21, in which New ...
It’s been 12 long years since the Florida Panthers last skated in the NHL playoffs. But for their small yet faithful collection of fans, it’s probably felt like an eternity. With a win on Tuesday against the Winnipeg Jets, the Cats can clinch a postseason berth for the first time since 2000, bringing an end to a streak ...
Hockey is a funny thing. For the 6th time in the last 8 games, the Florida Panthers found themselves in a 2-0 hole. This time, the opponent was the Ottawa Senators, a team Florida had lost to in 9 straight meetings. And coming into the game on a 2 game losing streak in which the ...
