News Panthers Team Notes

Look, I gotta give credit where it's due - the Panthers are playing some solid hockey right now even though it pains me to say anything nice about a team that isn't the Sabres. That three-game road trip sweep was impressive, especially bouncing back with Marchand's OT heroics against Minnesota and then the 5-1 demolition of Chicago.

But COME ON, losing to Utah at home after all that momentum? That's the kind of inconsistency that drives fans absolutely crazy. You can't be sweeping road trips and then coming home and dropping games to teams you should be handling. Vanecek standing on his head against his former team - classic goalie revenge game stuff.

Björnfot scoring twice including his first goal since 2021?! That's wild. The guy must've been wondering if he'd ever light the lamp again. Good for him though.

Now they're heading to St. Louis which should be a winnable game given how badly the Blues have been struggling at 19-25-9. If Florida can't take care of business there, then we've got bigger problems to discuss.

Also - Sammy Reinhart continues to be an absolute stud and I'm still salty we let him go. Dude's been money for Florida. But hey, at least we got... *checks notes* ...pain and suffering in return. 🙄

What's the deal with the defensive consistency though? Giving up 4 to Utah after only allowing 1 to Chicago seems like a red flag to me.

Panthers can’t stick the landing, fall 2-1 to Jets
