4 Smartest NHL Trade Deadline Deals for 2017-18
December 7th, 2017 It is December and a quarter of the NHL season has come and gone. With that, just over two months remain until the trade deadline on Feb. 26, and teams are beginning to separate themselves into buyers and sellers. This allows us to gain a clearer picture of which players will be moved at the deadline as teams attempt to strengthen their...
Panthers Purrview: Week Seven in Review
November 22nd, 2017 All the leaves are brown, and the sky is grey… Okay, so maybe not in Florida (or California, for that matter), but I live in Victoria, so bear with me here. After defeating the Dallas Stars in a shootout Tuesday night, the Florida Panthers embarked on their annual California road trip. Most teams dread the gauntlet of the San Jose...
Panthers Purrview: Week Five in Review
November 6th, 2017 The fifth week of the National Hockey League season was another disappointing one for the Florida Panthers, who played 0-2-1 hockey to finish up a five-game homestand. At 4-7-2 through 13 games, they’d better get this thing turned around soon if they want a shot at the playoffs. Florida Panthers’ Week That Was Lightning Shock...
Panthers Medical Staff Need Second Opinion
November 1st, 2017 For the second time in two seasons, the Florida Panthers are not doing the National Hockey League any favours as it seeks to rehabilitate its concussion management image (or, you know, even have an image in the first place). Disclaimer Before I begin, just let me say that neither I, nor anyone else at The Hockey Writers, pretend to...
Panthers Purrview: Week Two in Review
October 17th, 2017 The second week of the 2017-18 National Hockey League season is in the books, and the Florida Panthers, just like in week one, played seven days worth of .500 hockey. Well, when I say seven days, I mean two games worth, for the Panthers, once again, only played twice. Only the Carolina Hurricanes (three) have played fewer games than the...
4 Panthers Vegas Fans Should Be Watching
March 21st, 2017 Is there a more discouraging and disappointing team in the National Hockey League than the Florida Panthers? Sure, they’ve managed to avoid the basement of the Eastern Conference, but is that any solace to the fans of a squad that is rudderless and without direction? Their spectacular February instilled false hope, but mercifully a...
Time for Dallas to Deal
December 5th, 2016 The Dallas Stars have problems. Saturday night's masterful shutout win over the slumping Colorado Avalanche notwithstanding, goalies Kari Lehtonen and Antti Niemi have been maddeningly inconsistent. Too many forwards are sick, injured, banged up, trying to get up to speed after an injury, or simply slumping. Last, but not least, the...
Panthers Pickups Proving Problematic
October 31st, 2016 They say a winning lottery ticket comes with its own set of problems. Florida Panthers general manager Tom Rowe would undoubtedly agree. Sunday evening, Panthers forward Colton Sceviour virtually strapped the team on his back and carried the Cats to a 5-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings. The July 1 free agent signee tallied goals on...
Panthers Progressing by the Numbers
October 25th, 2016 After an off-season of change, many fans and pundits alike didn't quite know what to make of the made-over Florida Panthers. Between the near-total overhaul of the defense corps, the restructuring of the bottom-six forwards and injuries to Jonathan Huberdeau and Nick Bjugstad, opening night of the 2016-17 NHL campaign saw the club dress...
Panthers' Additions Contributing Early
October 19th, 2016 Three games played. Five out of a possible six points. In a perfect world, this sort of outcome would be the product of a well-written script, executed to perfection. Given the sort of change that the Florida Panthers underwent this offseason — impacting both on-ice talent and front office personnel — it wouldn't be a stretch of...
Sceviour's Strange Homecoming
October 6th, 2016 As homecoming games go, this one was a bit different. For starters, it didn't even count. Tuesday night, former Star Colton Sceviour returned to Dallas with his new team, the Florida Panthers, for a preseason game. For Sceviour, the surroundings were familiar, but everything else was strange: his uniform, his linemates, even the...
Sceviour, Demers Move to Florida
July 4th, 2016 It's the beginning of July, and the Florida Panthers have already had a busy summer. Off-ice changes aside, the Panthers entered last Friday's "free agent frenzy" seemingly with plenty of money to spend. As I pointed out last Thursday, however, that cap space was an illusion. Florida GM Tom Rowe would have to explore low-cost options to...
Panthers Seek Speed, Scoring
June 30th, 2016 After compiling the best regular season in franchise history, followed by a bitterly disappointing first-round playoff exit, the Florida Panthers enter the aptly-named "Free Agent Frenzy" this summer with specific goals in mind: Panthers GM Rowe said on NHL Radio Sirius that he's looking for two forwards for third line and speed on...
