Barkov as Panthers' Next Captain?

Barkov as Panthers' Next Captain?

June 14th, 2018 Two years ago, prior to the Florida Panthers ultimately deciding to appoint Derek MacKenzie captain, there was much debate on who would take over the role. Former captain Willie Mitchell had just moved on and the Panthers had two options: to pick a rising star or to pick a veteran. Most of us believed it would be the former, but they...
Will 2018-19 Panthers Be the Best Yet?

Will 2018-19 Panthers Be the Best Yet?

May 30th, 2018 After back-to-back lackluster seasons where the Florida Panthers missed the postseason, 2016 seems like forever ago, when the Panthers took on the New York Islanders in the first round. After a stellar 2015-16 season, the Panthers had home-ice advantage in the playoffs, which led many to believe that the team would dominate for years to...
Panthers Can Learn From Past Failures

Panthers Can Learn From Past Failures

May 22nd, 2018 Missing the playoffs is painful for any athlete, in any sport, at any level. A serious athlete who has watched other teams compete for trophies and titles can speak to the agonizing feeling that becoming a viewer rather than a player brings. It’s a feeling impossible to describe, but for the Florida Panthers, it’s one with which they...
Gallant's Ghost Haunting Panthers

Gallant's Ghost Haunting Panthers

April 29th, 2018 Playoff hockey is the best time of year. For Florida Panther fans, though, watching the Vegas Golden Knights dominate the NHL has to be difficult. It is no secret the Panthers may have botched the expansion draft, but leaving former head coach Gerard Gallant on the side of the road following a loss in 2016 may have been their biggest...
Barkov is Selke Bound

Barkov is Selke Bound

April 20th, 2018 The Selke Trophy is given to the “forward who demonstrates the most skill in the defensive component of the game,” and while offensive output is not mentioned in the description, it too is a factor. Although left out of this year’s nominees, it is an award the Florida Panthers’ Aleksander Barkov is not only worthy of, but one I...
Why the Florida Panthers Missed Playoffs

Why the Florida Panthers Missed Playoffs

April 12th, 2018 The Florida Panthers were on the cusp of a playoff position since the all-star break, but with the 2017-18 regular season in the books, they came up one point short. While at one time only a point behind the New Jersey Devils, the Panthers found themselves five points back with four games to play. Perhaps the most disappointing part...
Panthers Playoff Hopes Live With Bruins

Panthers Playoff Hopes Live With Bruins

April 5th, 2018 Thanks to a goaltender interference call with 0.3 seconds left on Tuesday night against the Nashville Predators, the Florida Panthers remain alive in the Eastern Conference playoff race. With three games to play, Florida now trails the Philadelphia Flyers by four points and the New Jersey Devils by five, with a game in hand on each....
Frank Vatrano Fitting in With Panthers

Frank Vatrano Fitting in With Panthers

March 26th, 2018 Prior to being dealt to the Florida Panthers at this year’s trade deadline, Frank Vatrano had played 25 games for the Boston Bruins this season. In those 25 games, he amassed just two goals, skated to a minus-3 and rarely saw more than ten minutes of ice time per game. Meanwhile, since becoming a Florida Panther, Vatrano has four...
