OT: Florida Panthers All-Time Number Team: #34

[Panthers Rock]

Hey guys, I thought I might start a new fun set of threads that's designed to go through all the numbers Panthers players have ever worn. Each thread will be a poll to decide the best player for that number. When this is all done, I'll put together a list of the Florida Panthers All-Time Number Team

Notes:

• Some numbers only have one player, so they will represent it by default (and we won't have a thread for them), and obviously some numbers have never been worn and will be skipped.
• If a player wore more than one number for the Panthers, they will be eligible for all numbers worn. If a player wins a number, they cannot be eligible for another.
• The voting only matters for the time that player was a Florida Panther. Ignore their work for any other team.
• In the case of a tie after the 72 hours has completely run out on a poll, we will have a run-off poll to decide that winner.

So far:

Number|Name
1| Roberto Luongo
2| Terry Carkner
3| Paul Laus
4| Jay Bouwmeester
5| Aaron Ekblad
6| Jason Woolley
7| Dmitry Kulikov
8| Peter Worrell

10|Pavel Bure
11|Bill Lindsay
12|Olli Jokinen
13|Juraj Kolnik
14|Ray Whitney

[Sparkman112]

Almost voted Yonkman. Should be real close.

 

[CatscratchFever]

Per our board rules...is that one name even allowed to be there?

 

[panthersfan94]

Who voted for Tim Thomas...automatic ban

 

[FlaPnthrsPunk]

Shut it down. Next...

If we had to vote for an overall worst Panther ever, Biron may get my vote. Man, did I hate that guy when he was a Panther with his mistakes every single game.

I don't even recall Rissmiller playing a game as a Panther.

 

[CHGoalie27]

Not even voting.

Tim Thomas wore this number tp honor the all time face of the franchise!

You made me vote Timmy.

 

[Gentle Man]

You made me vote Timmy.

Grimaldi, Kovalev, Thomas.

[CatscratchFever]

Grimaldi, Kovalev, Thomas.

three strikes.

Yup, I've seen enough. Banished to the Rags board forever.

 

[Gentle Man]

Yup, I've seen enough. Banished to the Rags board forever.

They will banish him too as Beezer was an ex-rag and won a vezina with them

 

[Prominence Problem]

Not even voting.

I feel like his #34 should be retired by the team. He was just that good/important.

Totally agree!

 

[CHGoalie27]

He's the reason I'm a Panthers fan.

...and hey, Timmy was never a NYR.

 

[Beezeral]

Beezer da gawd

Well as someone who doesn't believe in superstition or jinxes and also believing in the spirit of the rules I set out, every name gets a fair shot, every number gets a fair shot. Even though I'm well aware of the outcome of this one :p

Also, I'd like to point out, I don't think Biron was the worst player we've ever had. I think that distinction belongs to none other than Alex Auld. Just look at this statline:

Games Played|Wins|Losses|Ties/OTL|Goals Allowed|Shots Against|Saves|Save %|GAA
27 |7 |13 |5| 82 |729 |647 |.888 |3.34

Compared to what Belfour did with the same team in front of him:

Games Played|Wins|Losses|Ties/OTL|Goals Allowed|Shots Against|Saves|Save %|GAA
58 | 27| 17| 10| 152| 1550| 1398| .902| 2.77

Now let me blow your mind: Biron had 22 points in his 91 games played including 4 goals. Did he suck? Hell yeah he did. But he's not the worst to ever play on this team for more than a couple of games, it's gotta be Auld. Especially considering who he was replacing...

You made me vote Timmy.

Do you really need more than this to help you out?

Not even Pavel Bure got that honor for us.

Yorkman!!! LMAO!!!

Unlike Kovalev, Timmy wasn't my true vote. Now that you mention it, if any 1 all time Panther couldve made an EA cover, this was it. One of two of my most played video games of all time. NHL 95 being the other, #27 scoring for that cover! Only 2 Panthers to ever make it?
