TRIGGER WARNING: SA

We hope you all enjoyed your 2023-24 All-Star break.  This week, Jacob, TJ, and Alex take a look at how the Panthers' season has gone up to this traditional demarcation point on the NHL calendar.  TJ asks some thought-provoking questions, the guys fawn over Sam Reinhart, and a brief discussion about All-Star Weekend is had.

We have officially crossed the halfway point of the season!  Roy Bellamy joins Jacob, Alex, and TJ to discuss a series of streaks, some interesting officiating, and the current and expected playoff picture.  TJ also nearly kills Jacob.

The Florida Panthers are on a seven (7) game winning streak against some high-quality opponents.  Jacob, TJ, and Alex break it down and address some potential concerns.  Around the league, a couple of high draft pick players were traded for one another, Toronto gave half of their salary cap to four players, and Chicago has more salary tied up on IR than on their roster.

Jacob & TJ discuss the team's 5-game winning streak, the all-star game potential selections, go position by position on our feelings towards the current roster, and once again talk trash to one another about our fantasy lineups.

Jacob, Alex, and TJ hit the highs and lows of the Florida Panthers' December, take a quick look back at early-season predictions, and set some goals for 2024.  Happy new year, everybody!

Jacob and TJ discuss the success of the Panthers first 25% of the season, including the dominance of Aleksander Barkov, Sam Reinhart's Rocket Richard chase, Evan Rodrigues' best supporting actor nomination, Matthew Tkachuk's very big numbers (they're not where you'd think!), and a few pleasant surprises.

The Florida Panthers have officially rung in silly season!  Jacob, Alex, and TJ discuss a very interesting week of Florida Panthers hockey, capped off by the 167 PIM game against Ottawa.

Happy (early) Thanksgiving!  Jacob, TJ, and Alex talk about the Panthers' strong start as the team gets healthy.  They also discuss the Western Conference playoff picture, the Oilers' baffling decision, and a very special goal by a former Florida Panthers defenseman.

2 points is 2 points!

The episode came out late, it is all my fault. -TJ

As we all expected the Panthers are a defensive juggernaut 9 games into the season.

The team sits at 5-3-1 and we discuss what we like and some things we don't like about the team's good start. 

Plus: The Ottawa Senators roller coaster takes yet another sharp turn, who's for real in the Eastern Conference, and a Tribute to the late Adam Johnson.

David Dwork joins Jacob and TJ to fawn over Evan Rodrigues, discuss the early successes of Sam Reinhart and Sergei Bobrovsky, and prepare for Anthony Stolarz' first start as a Panther.  Later, Alex appears to show off some new gear and the guys give their thoughts on the new goal song.

Jacob, Alex, and TJ discuss the Panthers' first three games - including early observations about the newcomers - contextualize the Panthers within the division, and (most importantly) lock in their guesses as to what the Panthers' new goal song will be.

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON 10/12/23: Jacob and Alex are joined by George Richards of Florida Hockey Now to discuss the Florida Panthers' 23-man roster heading into the season.  They preview the lines, pairings, and goalies in advance of a season that will prove to be very competitive.

Our penultimate preseason episode, Jacob, Alex, and TJ discuss preseason performances, potential lineup combinations, and predict how the new additions will settle in.  They also stake their claims on point total over/unders for the league.

It sure is August!  Jacob, Alex, and TJ discuss the Eetu Luostarinen extension, Puckdoku, the USWNT, and Inter Barça FC on this week's (very Pourri-heavy) episode.
