I think the main reason Florida won't make it back this year is the amount of hockey played. It's very tough to go back-to back-to back. But the East is not very good. Except for March 2024 and games 1,4,6 of the finals, the Panthers looked like the best team in the league. Who from the East takes them out? Probably NYR has the best odds but I didn't feel that series was close, Shesty kept it competitive. I'm not impressed with Boston, Tampa is on the downswing, Carolina is always a thorn for Florida but they lost a lot, and Toronto in the playoffs lol.

The possible reasons why Panthers might not be back in the SCF in my opinion are:
1) mental burnout - I don’t think this is going to be the case
2) injuries - this is unpredictable and therefore is the biggest possible reason IMO
3) Toronto inexplicably gets their shit together, but it requires not having wimps on offense, not having crap D (OEL won’t help that much), and not having problems in G, altogether too much for Toronno to overcome. Boston and Tampa aren’t up to it anymore, no matter what the experts proclaim. Carolina is also just average.
4) NYR somehow resolves their internal problems and stops thinking Rempe will send everyone to the hospital. Unlikely. Their stars aren’t tough enough.

I think we should see another SCF series in South Florida, another parade, and another week of wild parties.

The schedule will be brutal this year with the four nations cup mid season plus the games in Finland. With all the other regular stuff. I think injuries are the main concerns for this team, they need to survive the regular season.

Since these past 2 years have given us great individual seasons from our players, I made a poll on who has the best peak in our history if anyone wants to vote or add to the discussion, especially since a lot of you have been fans since the teams inception





BTW, someone voted for Yandle lmao (probably a joke but still..)

And yes, he's on the poll. Though in fairness to me.. i thought he got Norris votes playing with us, but it was when he was a Phoenix Coyote.


That was me voting in proxy for impatientpanther
