I still think they’ll be fine once the playoffs roll around. Let me know your thoughts.

Paul Maurice teams have no finish. Jets still aren’t past it…
Haven't been this early since my premature birth
we just suck…that's it
The worst time for a team to slump is right before the playoffs, its not that easy to just flip a switch
Helpppppo ussssss
I would argue that losing to competitive teams is more concerning because those are the teams you need to beat come playoff time.
Florida first round loss
A Paul Maurice freakout flipped the switch last year. Perhaps another one of those is necessary.
I think a big difference for Florida this season compared to last is that FLA went on a heater heading into the playoffs just to barely make the WC2, whereas this year they've seemingly run out of gas and are sputtering across the finish line.
If they aren't beating teams in the playoffs, isn't that bad, too?
I still think the panthers are better than this but I don’t have to like the current situation
Wheel of playoff results when it comes to this team lol
I certianly hope THG is right for the Cat's sake 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I was at the both of the last Habs games against CAR and FLA. I saw a Florida team that simply lacked intensity. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the Panthers, this is a beast of a hockey team when they want to be. No worries at all.
Their schedule has been absolutely brutal. Good thing they already clinched their PO spot.
as long as you make the playoffs anything can happen
Great video THG!
Beware adding players at the trade deadline..no matter how good the new player..you risk upsetting team chemistry. This is a team that plays as a unit more than most.
Tarasenko looking terrific and making lots of good plays. That said..the lines are still a work in progress since his arrival.
Let’s go, guys! 😼🥅🏒💥🏆
1. They secured a playoff spot, and there is no urgency.
2. They have battled some injuries to key players.
3. There is an illness working its way through the locker room. Forsling, Tkachuk, Verhaeghe.
4. I do not buy that team chemistry was ruined at the trade deadline. There is no Dennis Rodman in the NHL. No one player is going to wreck a team.
I am not concerned. Even if we had won the last 8 games, we could just as easily get wiped out in round 1. We see this happen every year to good teams.
I'll stop short of predictions, but they will be a tough team to beat in a 7 game series.
Let's Go Panthers!!
Panthers out in round 1.
Panthers apologist makes excuses for 10 minutes. Should be the title of the video.
They are trying to stay fresh and healthy for the playoff run, that much is clear. What is concerning is that they’ve had more injuries now than they did when they were dialed in.
Could be they're laying low. 🤔
THG dropping the truth bombs: "Only 1 of 32 teams will win the Stanley Cup this year"
Go leafs goooo
I don't disagree that Florida can still be a juggernaut in the playoffs, but Carolina, Toronto, Boston and Montreal wouldn't have to play desperate hockey besides showing something for themselves. As a Habs fan, not sure who I'd like to see lose in a series between Florida and Toronto 😀 (…but I'm leaning towards Florida)
The coach should tell them if they don't shape up, he's sending them to see U2. That would put the fear into anybody.
All playoffs teams are in a slump. Been a boring month.
FINALLY WE HAVE A PANTHERS VIDEO… oh wait we are bad enough to get our own video… damn.
Ez first round W if we finish 2nd or 3rd 🥱 Panthers Avs SCF incoming
Regular season try hards act so baffled when a team like this beats the sox off them in the playoffs every year lol.
I know they have had a stretch of tough games against quality opponents. Any team would struggle for wins especially when you've already clinched a playoff spot. I hope you're correct and FL can turn it back on over the last 6 games and our guys can get healthy and stay that way. We also need playoff Bob to show up.
i appreciate the positive take Shannon, but as a Panthers fan, I'm freaking out. Let's Go Panthers !!!!!
As a Florida Panthers fan when my father took me to the eastern conference championship game back in 96 when I was 2 years old… I’ve been waiting too long to see them hoist the cup… LETS GO PANTHERS 🐆
play desperate for goals and leads in games?
more effective team defense in own zone, sharp transition offense passing for scoring chances?
As a Florida fan, I have definitely been concerned about this skid. Especially after the loss last night. But I saw a clip of PoMo postgame basically saying "We know why we're playing like this. Don't worry. It'll be fine" and that kinda got me thinking that maybe this has been intentional to some degree or at least they expected to not do so well over these last few weeks. If the problem (if there even is one) has actually been identified, then I don't see any reason to panic until were down multiple goals in the 3rd period of an elimination game
Florida just hasnt been playing consistent hockey. The team that showed up in the first 2 periods vs the leafs couldnt beat a timbits league team, the team that came out in the 3rd wont lose to anyone.
