Several Panthers players also voiced their support on social media, but Panthers defenseman Michael Matheson added a special tribute to his skates. Matheson’s tribute is awesome.

The Florida Panthers are Dale Tallon’s team once again. Tallon was ‘promoted’ to a hockey executive position in late November in a front office overhaul. The Panthers opted to go with a collaborative decision-making team and process and removed Tallon as the top voice in the organization. Tallon’s coaching hire, Gerard Gallant, was fired and […]

The Florida Panthers stunned the hockey world on Sunday amid reports of head coach Gerard Gallant being fired. Coming off a surprise 47-win, 103-point season and a Jack Adams nomination in 2015-16, Gallant’s job appeared safe. But despite the relative absurdity of firing a coach coming off a great season (and currently one game over .500 this season), […]

Doug Maclean is a man with a bunch of opinions that get broadcast on Sportsnet. He has decided that his most recent rant would be about the Florida Panthers and the way they went about firing Gerard Gallant. Maclean conveniently seems to forget that he himself fired Gallant when with the Columbus Blue Jackets. Nonetheless, […]

From being a Jack Adams award finalist to fired in less than a year, Gerard Gallant may have had one of the worst swings in NHL coaching history. He just took a moribund franchise to the playoffs for the first time in a decade plus and he has now been shown the door by the […]

The Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning are in-state rivals, but the lack of bad blood and excitement between the teams has long perplexed the organizations and hockey fans alike. In a great feature from Martin Fennelly of the Tampa Bay Times, he details the lack of rivalry in the Sunshine state. In 2013-14, a […]

Some fans would love for home teams to wear white jerseys again in the NHL. Those fans got their wish when the Florida Panthers hosted the Dallas Stars during a preseason game held in London, Ontario. Unfortunately, there was some sort of mix-up and both teams ended up bringing their white uniforms to the game. Based […]
