The Panthers win a playoff style game in Nashville as they appear to be coasting to the #1 seed in the east, ripping off wins without even getting into third gear.

But the Capitals are putting together quite a push to get out of the 8th seed - will the Panthers still end up playing them if they noch top spot? Alex & TJ discuss this and much more.

I don't know what you want me to say here - we recapped all the trades. Duh.

Plus, Alex has a bold vision for the rest of the year. Do tune in.

We had a full podcast recorded with Florida Hockey Now's Colby Guy reacting to the week that was in Panthers news, including the Frank Vatrano trade. Unfortunately the Cats traded for Ben Chiarot after we recorded of all that, so we needed to record an unexpected segment that airs before our Colby interview. Enjoy...

Trades!

The Panthers are in cruise control as the trade deadline approaches thanks to a charmin-soft schedule. So we take time to talk about the reason they've gotten into such a cushy position, and what they can do to load up for the playoffs at the deadline.

FloridaHockeyNow.com's very own George Richards returns to Panther Pourri to discuss all things Panthers.

Mike Ryan Ruiz of the Dan LeBatard show joins Alex & TJ to talk some ice cats! Stay tuned to the end for a big scoop exclusive to Panther Pourri!
