GDT: Free Agency 2020, Part III - Hockey is back! Regular season to begin January 13th 2021

Happy with both unis. That retro is awesome, hopefully get to see those 4 or 5 times this year.

The kit doesn't help the stripe at all. It pops way too much.

 

[StrangeVision]

Really looking forward to seeing those on the ice.

Hell no lol. Not until 21-22 season at the earliest. Not with the way Florida treats the pandemic.

I would go assuming i can get vaccinated in February/March. Not before getting vaccinated.

That’s good. I’ll have more space.

Seriously, I’m careful, but I have decided to also not to continue living in fear. I think there’s a balance. As an example, I looked for, and finally got into a vaccine trial in West Palm area. Got my shot yesterday; it’s a double blind study though so nobody knows whether I got the real deal or a placebo. Johnson & Johnson. I feel good being a tiny part of trying to help though, trying to be positive.... <it’s a setup for a panthers joke>

The stripe on the retro one? I would have preferred it be red but it's not a deal breaker for me with it being white.
Maybe Viola wanted red, white and blue in there being very patriotic?

I would absolutely go to a Cats game if I’m allowed in. I can’t help but love this team and organization and want to support during a time like this.

The new shade of gold looks so much better than the yellow gold did. This is by far the best looking blue jersey, even with the big white stripe. Maybe they put the white stripe on because it matches the white stripe on the new style reds.

Ya the gold looks sharp, it seems the only issue for everyone is the white stripe, which if its only one gripe, the team that made the jersey did well imo.

The white stripe breaks up the full blue fill from shoulders to shins. Maybe gold or red would have been better?
But the white makes it stand out from the old ones which is the key with any retro, majority of its old school with a new addition to set it apart.

Jersey by itself kind of looks odd to me.
The whole uniform, including pants and socks looks really well done.

"Forget Lafreniére - history is made with the five Florida Panthers Calder finalists of 2021 - Tippett, Denisenko, Lundell, Saarela and Gildon!!! When coach Q handed the team over to the kids, the rookies carried the Panthers to the shocking Stanley Cup win while the rest of the team sat back and watched. Huberdeau, Ekblad and Barkov all cry happy tears as Denisenko, Gildon and Lundell carry home the Hart, Norris and Selkie trophies. The unsung heroes Chris Driedger and Sergei Bobrovski generously decide to withdraw from the Vezina race in favor of Cayden Primeau when the disgruntled Canadian media accuse the Panthers of "hoarding all the wins and trophies". It still doesn't stop the grumble that "Covid-years clearly favor Florida teams and therefore should not count"."

Huberdeau yelled “there you go!” Ekblad gave a look of pleasant surprise. Bobrovsky belted out “we got a f***ing squad now!” And before Barkov hit the locker room door, ex NHL star Jaromir Jagr hugged him and said, “y’all look so different.”

[Lombardi] Barkov on who’s leaving first: Him or Jonathan Huberdeau. “I don’t compare myself with anybody,” Then he rolled up his sleeve and showed a tattoo of his contract ending in 2022 “I’ll let you interpret that however you want,” Barkov said.

I did not expect a Goodwin pasta when coming on here

Report: NHLPA exploring options in case NHL cancels season

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Friedman on am590 saying number of games he's heard, range in the 50s from 52 to 56.

 

[sinDer]

I'd be happy with a 48 games season starting in February.

I can't see how it would be possible to start the season before February.

Tick tock tick tock...the clock is ticking.

 

[FrolikFan67]

Now that there’s a legit chance they start in January, I wonder when we’ll see more movement as far as trades go

 

[PanthersHockey1]

I might get slack for suggesting it but this not a bad year to tank given its short nature. Go get a top 5 pick and really make some big decisions regarding the future of this team next summer.

48 games into last season, the Panthers were in a playoff spot. Everything should be less predictable in a short season, so why not just go for it and hope things fall our way?

Would a top 5 pick this year even really help that much? So many prospects not playing in their draft year, makes it feel more like a crap shoot.

I agree, in a shortened season teams that bond quickly and get off to a good start basically seal a playoff spot. I think this group could be one of those teams. I think there will be a couple surprises this season in the standings. For some reason I think the Panthers will do fairly well.

That would fly in the face of their stated goal of “changing the culture” and having players that refuse to accept losing around here. It would be horribly and harmfully two-faced by management, imo.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Im definitely not opposed to tanking but when you have the worst team in the league and 3rd or 4th worst team in the league in your division it makes it hard to outpace them.
