GREAT TIMING: A short training camp combined with a mature Cats group could lead to a fast start

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) and Nich Fairbanks(@Prudentia0) break down the Panthers' 4-0 shutout loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Cooper Black made his NHL debut as the Cats were on the second end of a back-to-back, but the Panthers could not generate scoring chances to start the game. Pittsburgh would then score after a turnover at the blue line, and that wad the theme of the night, where three of the four goals against were off the rush. Foot speed is still an issue for this Panthers team, and they were too perimeter based that Arturs Silovs was able to win his third game in a row against the Panthers. Panthers had an opportunity to cut the deficit to one after a four-minute double minor that crossed over into the third period, but still could not buy a goal. Head Coach Paul Maurice had some interesting comments after losing the last two games by a combined eight goals. The team has two days off before their afternoon tilt in Chicago, how will practice be handled? Will there be a switch up of the lines? We discuss all of this and more on today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast: Your Team, Every Day.

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) and Jacob Winans(@JakeW_8) broke down the Panthers' 5-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators in Brady Tkachuk's return. A hostile environment that threw chants left and right, along with booing him non-stop even during the Senators tribute video. Brady responded with a power play goal nine seconds into it, and gave a shrug to the crowd at the Canadian Tire Centre. However, the Panthers didn't score after that, where they failed to register more than 10 shots in a period on Wednesday night. Florida got into penalty trouble in the second period, but none of their goals against were on special teams. Panthers also failed to take advantage of G Samuel Ersson coming into the game after Linus Ullmark left the game with an injury, only registering one shot on goal after that. Cats then eventually got caught in transition where the game then became out of reach. It's two divisional losses out of two to start the season, and the Panthers have a quick turnaround Thursday night in PIttsburgh. We discuss all of this and more on today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast: Your Team, Every Day.
