As a diehard VGK fan that had our taste of the cup last year, I hope the panthers can bring it home this year. Such a special team! I'm rooting for you guys all the way! Best of luck!

I grew up in Miami and was in love with hockey growing up. I went to several games as a kid in the 90's, until we moved up North. I used to go to a ton of minor league games and went to a few Flyers games, but always loved the Panthers. I think this is our year. Game 1 was sensational for Sergei Bobrovsky. We need just 3 more!!

Been a far away Panther fan since 2004. I've followed them more closely the last 7 or so years, ever since drafting Ekblad pretty much. I love what they've done, taking each step and putting the pieces together, especially under Bill Zito. Hiring Paul Maurice was genuis. He seem to suit this team of players so well. His pressers are awesome to listen to. I love where this franchise is going and I hope they can get past Edmonton. 2 games won, 2 to go!!! Cheers from Malmö, Sweden.

I live in Europe but I still watch every single playoff game of the Cats, of course. But yeah.. Good vid, keep it up and now and always in the future, GO CATS!

@jeffreywolfe1 9 дней назад

If the Panthers do win it this year, it'll be extremely well deserved! As someone who grew up in the NYC metro of the late 70s and early 80s, the Panthers remind me of the NY Islanders. They have all the pieces to become a dynasty. Go Cats!!!!!!!

@ulical 6 дней назад

Funny you should say that. I grew up in Miami in the 70s and early 80s, watching "Hockey Night in Canada" on Channel 2 (PBS). The Islanders became my team going back to when they came back from being down 3-0 to the Penguins in 1975. Then came a number of tough playoff losses to teams like the Canadiens, Maple Leafs and the Rangers before embarking on their dynasty. Man, I can still recite almost the entirety of that roster. Getting back to your comment, I totally agree that the Panthers have the potential to be at the top, or very close to the top, for a number of years. This provided injuries respect the team and they can keep their current nucleus together.

The NHL teams that lost the most money over the past decade (2012-2021): Number 1 -$152,900,000 = Florida Panthers (Miami - 6,183,199) -$141,600,000 = Arizona Coyotes (Phoenix - 4,845,832) -$108,800,000 = Carolina Hurricanes (Raleigh-Durham - 1,509,231) -$83,500,000 = Anaheim Ducks (Los Angeles-Anaheim - 12,799,100) -$76,000,000 = Columbus Blue Jackets (Columbus - 2,180,271) -$74,400,000 = Tampa Lightning (Tampa-Saint Petersburg - 3,342,963) -$59,900,000 = Buffalo Sabres (Buffalo - 1,155,604) -$130,000,000 = Atlanta Thrashers (Atlanta - 6,307,261) [Atlanta lost $130 million in 5 years from 2005 to 2010] How is that WELL DESERVED???????????? Florida Panthers WILL be the next team to relocate. FACTS.

Awesome video! Been a panther fan my entire life and remember the terrible years well. I used to be the only kid in school wearing a panther jersey and used to think Horton and Jokinen would bring us to the promise land. The bad years seemed to never end and as a fan you begin to expect the worse every year and every game. These last 3 seasons have been so great I almost don't even believe what's going on. I'm very happy where we are but find it hard to be excited until a cup is lifted. That is the only cure to this curse even up 2-0 as i write. Let's finish this boys!! Go Panthers!!

11:40 - We didn't just fire Gerard Gallant. What made it controversial was that we did it immediately after a road game and told him to find his own way home. There's a picture of him getting into a cab in Carolina after a game that made its rounds.

@igorlobkovenko9480 6 дней назад

That was a total disgrace on the part of the Panthers. It showed how low class the organization was at the time. For the next few years I hated Florida. Enjoy the success while you can. Five straight playoff appearances but with the amount of free agents they have, there's no guarantee the Panthers will make the playoffs next year. Eventually, losing Weegar will become a factor. Good luck.

@CrystalClearWith8BE 4 дня назад

Tell you what. The previous season starts the story of "We Want Florida". The Cats being a runner-up in the previous season didn't end that story. The continuation makes it a turning point of their story as they make the finals again. If they win, even if they sweep the Oilers, the story ends with a happy ending after they won their first Stanley Cup.

@genesijesi 7 дней назад

Am I crazy or did you completely miss the sale of the Panthers to the Violas. The ownership of the Violas is what turned the team around. I worked there. One step at a time, one division at a time, the Violas completely changed how the organization was run both from the team to the arena to the community involvement. They brought in Zito. The Violas were a pivotal change and impact to the team, fanbase and community. Even the new facility downtown helped revitalize Fort Lauderdale too. How can you do this whole video and leave them out?! And also not really discuss the current season which will most likely produce the Cup! I would love to see this whole history of the Panthers redone and done more thoroughly.

@anthonyrivera3520 11 дней назад

@TheRiverweasel09 10 дней назад

with their success over the last three seasons, there's no longer any concern for that. Amerant Bank has sold out every home game for two straight years now and have more than doubled their corporate sponsorships while tripling the prices of tickets over that same period. And still sell out every home game, so they're fine.

@connorbrechbill6516 9 дней назад

They just moved into a brand new practice facility and their lease at Amerant runs until 2028. With the recent success the team has had, they’ve had no problems selling out Amerant Bank arena and aren’t being plagued by attendance issues. They’re here for the long haul.
