stacy28+FollowPanthers Bet Big on Mackie’s BreakoutThe Cats just locked up Mackie Samoskevich after his impressive 31-point rookie campaign. With Florida already over the cap, Bill Zito’s got some tough calls ahead, but keeping Mackie in the fold shows they’re all-in on their young core. After trading so many first-rounders for Cup runs, hitting on Samoskevich is huge. Who do you think gets moved to make room? Can the Panthers keep this core together for a three-peat? #Sports #IceHockey #FlaPanthers00Share
Bryce Clark+FollowPanthers' Offseason: Ekblad & Marchand DilemmaBig Cat fans, the offseason drama is real! GM Zito just admitted the Panthers have backup plans if they can’t keep both Ekblad—the blue-line beast—and Marchand, our clutch Cup rental from Boston. With free agency looming, it’s clear there’s no guarantee either returns. Would you rather keep the veteran agitator or our franchise D-man? This could reshape the rivalry landscape next season! #FlaPanthers #NHLFreeAgency #Ekblad #Sports #IceHockey20Share
Bryce Clark+FollowMarchand & Bennett: Panthers' Homegrown Duo?Looks like 'Nose Face Killah' Brad Marchand and Sam 'Benny' Bennett are loving life in South Florida! After a playoff run for the ages, Marchand jokingly told GM Bill Zito, "Give me a contract," while serving Blizzards with fans. Bennett doubled down at Club E11even, shouting he’s not leaving. With $19M in cap space, can Zito keep this core—Marchand, Bennett, and Ekblad—together? If he pulls it off, his legend in Panthers history is set. Thoughts on who should get paid first? #FlaPanthers #Marchand #Bennett #Sports #IceHockey00Share
Bryce Clark+FollowBennett’s Big Payday: Is $7.5M the Magic Number?Looks like the Panthers’ playoff beast, Sam Bennett, isn’t packing his bags anytime soon—even if the ink isn’t dry yet. Elliotte Friedman’s latest scoop has the Cats circling a long-term deal in the $7.5M AAV ballpark. But with Bennett’s bold party comments and his agent pumping the brakes, is this a done deal or just smoke? Can Zito really keep the band together and outspend the division rivals? Let’s hear your takes, Panthers faithful! #FlaPanthers #SamBennett #NHLFreeAgency #Sports #IceHockey50Share
stacy28+FollowTkachuk’s Wingman Move Steals the ShowWhile the Cats were still buzzing from their back-to-back Cup win over the Oilers, Matthew Tkachuk (aka Chucky) delivered a hilarious off-ice assist. He gave Anton Lundell a shoutout to Sommer Ray on social, and fans went wild calling him the 'wingman of the decade.' It’s just another example of the Panthers’ tight locker room and why their chemistry is as strong off the ice as it is on it. Who else loved this side of the Cup celebrations? #FlaPanthers #StanleyCup #Tkachuk #Sports #IceHockey00Share
Phillip Scott+FollowTkachuk Plays Wingman for Lundell OnlineDid you catch this off-ice assist from Chucky? Matthew Tkachuk is out here trying to set up his Panthers teammate Anton Lundell with none other than IG superstar Sommer Ray! After Barky’s hilarious Instagram mix-up went viral, Tkachuk jumped in on X, giving Lundell a shoutout and pitching his two-time Cup champ status. Will Panthers fans rally to help Lundell shoot his shot? #FlaPanthers #HockeyTwitter #SommerRay #Sports #IceHockey00Share
david52+FollowLundell: Panthers’ Secret Weapon vs. McDavidIs Anton Lundell the most underrated key to the Panthers’ Cup run? While Barkov gets the Selke love, Lundell has quietly become Coach Maurice’s go-to shutdown guy—especially against the Oilers’ big guns like McDavid and Draisaitl. With Marchand and Luostarinen on his wings, Lundell’s line has stifled elite scorers and chipped in clutch points. Are we witnessing the birth of a new defensive star in Sunrise? #FlaPanthers #StanleyCup #AntonLundell #Sports #IceHockey00Share
Jason Dawson+FollowReinhart Out: Can Cats Survive Game 3?Tough break for the Cats—Sam Reinhart, the Panthers’ power play ace and regular season goal king, is out for Game 3 after that heavy hit from Aho. Coach Maurice says Reinhart’s day-to-day, but his absence leaves a big hole, especially with the Canes desperate to snap their 14-game East Final skid. Boqvist steps up on the top line with Barky. Can Florida’s depth keep rolling, or will Carolina finally bite back? #FlaPanthers #StanleyCupPlayoffs #NHL #Sports00Share
Christopher Li+FollowPanthers Lose Key Forward for Game 5Tough break for the Cats as Evan Rodrigues is out for Game 5 after that big hit from OEL. Rodrigues has been clutch in the playoffs, especially last year during the Cup run. Now Boqvist gets another shot in the top six. Can the Panthers rally in Toronto without their gritty winger, or will the Leafs take advantage? This lineup change could swing the series! #FlaPanthers #LeafsNation #StanleyCupPlayoffs #NHL #Sports00Share
stacy28+FollowTkachuk’s Penalties Cost Cats Big vs BoltsTough night for the Cats as the Bolts stormed back after Tkachuk’s early goal, dropping Florida 5-1 in Game 3. Fans are heated—some say Tkachuk’s rough play (two penalties, including a controversial hit on Hedman) killed the Panthers’ momentum and could even lead to a suspension. Others blame the team for getting distracted by fights instead of focusing on offense. Is this just a blip, or are the Bolts in Florida’s heads? Monday’s Game 4 is now a must-win! #FlaPanthers #GoBolts #StanleyCupPlayoffs #Tkachuk #NHL #Sports30Share
