Thanks for staying home
Cloud 9.
Barky and Ekky are TRUE Cats
Donβt get me wrong, I love the rest of the boys too.
But Ekky and Barky are our guys.
Thank you for choosing the sweater, Aaron.
Get another cup!
We love you and are so happy you're staying.
I love this man. Love the family dynamic this team has.
It's refreshing to see guys take less and keep the team together and remain stronger together. Go Cats
Aaron as long as your club doesn't abandon you with a trade, your dedication to your fans, team and bosses puts you on another level compared to others. Brad went thru this. We may not know all the variables on why, but at the end they let him go and that is not what he wanted. Shit happens but if you can retire where you start you are in a league of your own. You are remembered as true to your fans and to your team and that is amazing to see and feel!
Please stop the core 10 narrative. The Panthers are a team. So who's not in the core? Bob? Luosty? Mikkola?
Well done, Ekky!

Panther for life, as it should be.
Thanks for being a team player! GoCats!!
Yesss!!!!
No other organization in the NHL is a brotherhood before they are a team. No roster is closer and as tight knit as these boys. Theyβre a family and it makes it so much easier to fall in love with this team!
Aaron, your play in the cup drives has been so impressive. We fans so appreciate your dedication and loyalty. This is from a fan since the very beginning.
Panthers legend
Just thank you Aaron
guys i so love this team like this is family
From one Aaron to another, youβre a warrior. So crucial to this team. Your absence was definitely noticed during that stretch. And the fact youβve changed your game in sacrificing some points to play a complete game is a major factor in these 2 Cups. Knowledgeable fans see past stat lines and understand you donβt win playoff hockey without excellent defense. Take care of your body and letβs get a 3rd Cup brother!
6:20 βand thank you!β Is the best way to phrase a question i loved the whole questionβ¦ but especially the ending ππβ€β€
Ekky totally calling out nosey getting his too!!! I FICKING LOVE IT! Thank you ekky for taking less and giving back to a team that has only ever asked from ekky every year. From the bottom now were here! Hey boys i love you guys
Man you just donβt see professional teams that truly love each other the team from top to bottom and they play for each other and for PANTHER Nation! They play as one nobody is more important or made to feel that way line 4 is just as big line 1 and the same with 2&3 . I am new to hockey but when you have a team that buys into (TEAM) that is hard to beat ! I fell in love with hockey and the panthers laying in the hospital I am a life long panther fan now ! Itβs more than just jumping on the bandwagon I really didnβt know anything about hockey I watched them play one game and I said that is awesome and that is the team I am pulling for! It was a GOD send it helped me through some rough times in the hospital so I might not be a longtime fan but this past team has a very special place for me and I am so happy that they was able to bring these guys back! I have never seen a professional team that literally the players straight up took less money to be there and knowing that was going to be able for others to come back most all other professional players are like I got to get mine and it doesnβt even cross there mind ! I truly do love this team from top to bottom first class I hope they all have a blessed summer canβt wait for hockey to be back ! GO PANTHERS!!!.
