Episode Notes

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) is here with Jacob Winans(@JakeW_8) to break down the Panthers' 4-3 shootout loss to the Montreal Canadiens, as they are swept for the second year in a row, and now have lost eight straight against the Habs. Florida despite missing Matthew Tkachuk due to the birth of his child, held their own and controlled most of the game, keeping Montreals superstars at bay until the final moments of the game. Panthers got multiple goals in transition thanks to Carter Verhaeghe and Cole Reinhardt, and were limiting the opportunities when the game was at even strength. All of Montreals goals scored were either on the power play, a delayed call that brought the extra attacker, and then in crunch time with the goaltender pulled, so goes to show how great their game was at even strangth. However, the Panthers inability to pull away kept the Habs within distance as they had a response when the Panthers took the lead. Nick Suzuki did it again to the Panthers, where it's the third time in the last four matchups where he tied the game to force overtime when it looked like the Panthers were going to steal a game. Montreal had a chance to end it in overtime after Tomas Nosek took a late penalty in regulation and the Habs had total control on the power play, but the PK stood strong, and even created some two-on-one chances after the kill. Quick work was done in the shootout as the Habs scored on both their attempts and the Panthers did score at all, which gave Montreal the victory. Panthers lost Dmitry Kulikov midway through the third period, and could've been a big piece for them to use in crunch time when the Panthers could not clear the puck and Paul Maurice said after that he broke his finger and is out for the rest of the season. It's the third broken finger on the roster in less than two weeks, so the injuries just continue to pile on. The guys give their three duds of the game, when they knew the game was lost, and discuss the state of the draft lottery, where it now looks like 6th will be their ceiling (or floor, however one sees it) with just over a week left of hockey. We discuss all of this and more on today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast: Your Team, Every Day
