  • AVOIDABLE: Poor Goaltending and lack of attention to detail costly in loss against Pittsburgh

    AVOIDABLE: Poor Goaltending and lack of attention to detail costly in loss against Pittsburgh
    Oct 24 2025

    On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) brought in Nich Fairbanks(@Prudentia0) for another edition of Fairbanks Friday, as the two break down the Panthers 5-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Panthers were slow out of the gate, getting five shots on goal in the first period, and the Lundell line getting three of the five shots. Panthers started to control play after the first intermission, but it did not even result in the Panthers getting it to a tie game, where every time they brought it to a one-goal deficit, the Penguins once again separated themselves and went on to lead by two. It was various mistakes their attention to detail and questionable goals against that gave the Panthers a low chance to even force overtime. Brad Marchand continues to be a force as he got two goals on the evening and Mackie Samoskevich continued to play a huge role on the Panthers power play. The urgency was there, but it was too little too late where the Cats came out empty handed. The two give their three duds of the game, when they knew the game was lost, and prepare for Saturday's matchup against the Vegas Golden Knights.

  • THE RAT KING RETURNED VICTORIOUS! Own goal late helped the Cats win in Marchand's return to Boston!

    THE RAT KING RETURNED VICTORIOUS! Own goal late helped the Cats win in Marchand's return to Boston!
    Oct 22 2025

    On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) brought in Jacob Winans(@JakeW_8) for another edition of Winans Wednesday as the two broke down the Panthers 4-3 win over the Boston Bruins in Brad Marchand's return to Boston for the first time since the trade back on March 7th, 2025. It was 16 years to the day that Marchand made his NHL Debut with the Bruins that he was playing in the visiting locker room against his old team. It was emotional as it could've been with TD Garden playing a tribute video during the first tv timeout. Panthers got on the board quickly, 61 seconds in after Brad Marchand drew the first penalty of the game. It was their new look first power play unit with Mackie Samoskevich and Anton Lundell, and they capitalized early. Panthers got to a 2-0 lead early in the second after a face-off draw where Jonah Gadjovich broke the puck free from Mason Lohrei and AJ Greer wasted no time shooting the puck past Jeremy Swayman. A pair of mistakes had the Bruins scoring two goals exactly two minutes apart, and just like that, we had a hockey game. Florida took the lead again midway through the third off a quick rush by Eetu Luostarinen where he fought off a back check and roofed it for his first of the season. Although Boston scored with the extra attacker, Florida just over a minute later took the lead with less than a minute left when Carter Verhaeghe drove up the gut and after his shot hit the post, Bruins Defenseman and South Florida native Andrew Peeke had the puck deflect off his skate and into his own net to prevent the game from going into overtime and giving the Panthers the two points in regulation. The two discuss their three stars of the game, when they knew the game was won, and provide a wellness check on the losing streak now being over at four and they will begin a long home stand on Thursday. We discuss all of this and more on today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast: Your Team, Every Day.

  • TARASOV DESERVED BETTER: Promising start, but the Panthers go dry after taking an early lead in NJ

    TARASOV DESERVED BETTER: Promising start, but the Panthers go dry after taking an early lead in NJ
    Oct 17 2025
    On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) brought in Jim Biringer(@JimBiringer) of Full Press NHL to the show as he was in the press box for Thursday night's game as the Panthers lose to the New Jersey Devils 3-1 on the second end of a back-to-back. Florida switched their lines up putting Eetu Luostarinen at the third line center, something we don't see much since Paul Maurice took over. Panthers scored less than two minutes into the game after a beautiful move from Brad Marchand to create a shooting lane, and Evan Rodrigues cleaning it up after the initial save, but the Panthers got nothing more after that. Power play conintued to struggled as they also gave up breakaway chances as New Jersey was coming out of the box on multiple occassions. Daniil Tarasov kept the Panthers in the game, especially having eyes on the Devil's stars throughout the night, although Hughes eventually beat him on the PP and Meier off a redirection, Tarasov stood tall in net. Florida had a chance to get it to a one-goal game when they pulled the extra attacker as Sam Reinhart from the high slot scored with Anton Lundell setting a screen, but after immediately waving off the goal, and the Panthers deciding to challenge, the call on the ice stood. What do the guys think of the call? They give their three duds of the game, and the moment when they knew the game was lost, and prepare for a matinee game in Buffalo. We discuss all of this and more on today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast: Your Team, Every Day.

  • EARLY ROAD WOES: Panthers switching their forward lines failed to provide a spark in Detroit

    EARLY ROAD WOES: Panthers switching their forward lines failed to provide a spark in Detroit
    Oct 16 2025
    On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) brought in Florida Panthers Historian, Francisco Oporta(@FLACatsHistory) to break down the Panthers 4-1 loss to the Detroit Red Wings. The Panthers failed to generate quality offensive chances, and shuffled the forward lines early on. The rush chances against continues to pile up, but Sergei Bobrovsky kept the Panthers in it. One of the changes that did work was reuniting Brad Marchand with Eetu Luostarinen and Anton Lundell, as they were able to cut the deficit to one after falling behind two in the second period. Lundell got assist number 100 in his 300th NHL game. The PK streak to start the season came to an end as Detroit capitalized on a 5-on-3 shortly after Florida was on the PP. The injury situation is only getting worse, as Dmitry Kulikov will be out for five months after receiving surgery on Wednesday morning. The Panthers are going to continue to power through as it'll be a while before anybody comes back, and it starts with a quick turnaround Thursday night in New Jersey. We discuss all of this and more on today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast: Your Team, Every Day.

  • BOTTOM SIX DEFENSE: Zero goals against has been key to the Panthers early success

    BOTTOM SIX DEFENSE: Zero goals against has been key to the Panthers early success
    Oct 15 2025
    On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) brought in Jacob Winans(@JakeW_8) to the show for another edition of Winans Wednesday. The two discuss how although the top six has given up all of the goals against at 5-on-5, the bottom six having zero goals against has been key to giving the Panthers a chance to win early in this young season. It's been quality over quantity for the opposition on the top six as they're owning the show share, but pucks are still finding the back of the net when they're on. The Detroit Red Wings looked to be close on knocking on the playoff door, we'll discuss their offseason and how they're still set up to build on their roster, along with the two previewing tonight's game, as the Panthers are 7-2-1 in their last 10 against Detroit.

  • SLOW START: Panthers couldn't match the Flyers energy as they drop the first game of the road trip

    SLOW START: Panthers couldn't match the Flyers energy as they drop the first game of the road trip
    Oct 14 2025

    On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) is here to break down the Panthers' 5-2 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, where a slow start and lack of jump had the Panthers falling behind in the first period. Although the Panthers tilted the ice from the second period on, Philadelphia was able to capitalize on Panthers mistakes, and the puck ended up in the back of their net. Special teams showed up once again, as they added a short handed goal to the tally, thanks to Sam Reinhart. Sam Bennett gave power play one a boost when he tied the game at two in the third period, and the Panthers went on a stretch where they didn't surrender a shot in 20 minutes of play, but taking penalty while on the power play gave the momentum back to the Flyers and they ended up retaking the lead and pulling away after. Daniil Tarasov made his Panthers debut between the pipes, and he gave the Panthers a solid chance in the game, especially on one penalty kill where the Panthers were in their end for the entirety of the two minutes, but they will need to support him with goals at even strength during his starts. Are the Panthers too reliant on the power play or is this what we could expect going forward? We discuss all of this and more on today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast: Your Team, Every Day.

  • BANK THOSE POINTS! Another clutch third period goal for the Panthers as they remain undefeated

    BANK THOSE POINTS! Another clutch third period goal for the Panthers as they remain undefeated
    Oct 10 2025

    On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) and Nich Fairbanks(@Prudentia0) broke down the Panthers 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers as there were similar trends to the first game of the season, the Panthers press the gas and had the ice tilted in the Panthers direction, and the Flyers unable to get a flow going being in the box four times in the first 25 minutes. Power play two came through once again as Anton Lundell converted for the first goal of the game. Philadelphia got on the board off the draw and Sergei Bobrovsky mishandling the puck, but the Panthers getting an early one in the third thanks to Brad Marchand allowed them to shut the game down from there. Panthers only allowed five shots in the third and had to do it with Dmitry Kulikov exiting the game in the second period. Do we see Uvis Balinskis make his season debut against Ottawa on Saturday? The guys provide their three stars of the game, when they knew the game was won, and preview Saturday's game against the Senators. We discuss all of this and more on today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast: Your Team, Every Day.
