Does anyone know where one can find the hat that Forsling is wearing in this video? I’m disappointed in the lack of available Reverse Retro gear this year. Really want to scoop up this hat.

Haven’t seen that hat before, you may have to take a trip to Sunrise and visit the team store at the arena, lol.

I have always been a Panthers fan and feel bad for them knowing they don't have the coaching or leadership to pull them out of this tailspin.
What a shame that with the talent they have Florida will miss the playoffs.

it pretty disappointing when you have to talk hats and retro sweater rather than your team play. Will the Panthers start the New Year right with a change in coaching?

How close is Duclair to coming back? It appears that over $2M will have t be cleared for him to be on the roster. Any inkling on how that will be accomplished?

Hornqvist might stay on ltir, he’s had two concussions already this season.
Hearing rumor that Duke’s recovery/rehab isn’t going as well as hoped for.

Coach Q
Last year would’ve ended a bit differently if he was still coaching as the playoffs approached. Brunette let some bad habits fester and grow through their President trophy run. Q’s playoff experience would’ve served the Panthers well as they faced adversity in the playoffs.
This was his team, and he had them on the way up towards contending for the Cup.

Now, who knows. It just seems a shambles of uninspired hockey.

Uninspired is a good word.

I think they also came into this season thinking they wouldn’t have to work because of their success during last year’s regular season. Like it was going to be automatic that they were going to repeat what they achieved. This mindset had them stumble out of the gate.

Moller is right. The Rangers defensemen actually box guys out and prevent second and third opportunities. Imagine that…

Again bad coaching. I can see tanking if you had a chance at the Connor Bedard sweepstakes, but we don't even have a shot at that.

At least Maurice is true to his reputation, the losingest coach in the league. We now have lost the the last eight out of ten games.

He came out blazing in the 3rd period with 1 shot with 5 seconds left in the game. Some captain he is

George Richards tweeted
The #FlaPanthers lost their 18th game in regulation on Sunday, matching their total for ALL of last season.

I’d like to see Montour take Ekblad’s spot on the PP. Ekblad just isn’t right this season, the injury early in the season certainly didn’t help, but he just isn’t doing poop.
Montour was on fire when Ek was out, probably was the brightest part of this black hole of a season. Montour and Forsling were better as a pairing than Ekblad and Forsling have been.

Idk, seems maybe a bit weird to say, but Ekblad may be the next to be traded. I think the whole team is currently miserable with Mo coaching, but he seemed to be pissed off after his boys were traded away (not by his cliche statement, but the look on his face and body language while saying it).

Cheer up, everyone, they won the “expected goals for” category once again....
