Thursday Caterwaul: Florida Panthers Open Forum

The Florida Panthers are back in Broward after a successful four-game road trip (2-0-2) that has them atop the Atlantic Division, although its early days yet. Florida beat the Carolina Hurricanes and Los Angeles Kings and earned points against the rising San Jose Sharks and Anaheim Ducks by getting to overtime. Unfortunately, key cogs Aleksander Barkov and Brad Marchand suffered disturbing lower-body injuries in California. Another area of concern is the team’s sputtering power play, which wen...

Angeles Analysis – Game 3

After last night’s game, I asked Drew Doughty if he felt like the Kings were playing 0-3 hockey, as they sit with three losses through three games. He felt that the Colorado game was certainly 0-3 hockey but pushed back with the San Jose and Florida games. The San Jose game was one that I […] The post Angeles Analysis – Game 3 appeared first on LA Kings Insider .

Panthers' Brad Marchand helped off ice after ugly collision

The Florida Panthers have been struck by some bad injury luck, and after captain Aleksander Barkov recently hurt his knee, Brad Marchand has also done the same. Marchand was driving to the net on Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Kings and got tangled up in the worst way. Marchand was driving to the net in the second period and had his left leg buckle underneath him, and by his immediate reaction, unfortunately, this doesn't look good. No word yet on timelines, but it's likely Marchand wil...

Panthers finish costly trip with 2-1 win over Kings

The Florida Panthers continued their stingy ways to defeat the Los Angeles Kings 2-1 and finish its season-opening four-game road trip with a 2-0-2 record. Florida fell behind for a third-straight game with a minute left in the first period when former Panther Erik Haula came out of a scrum below the goal line with puck and crossed to Alex Laferriere, who sent the puck into the yawning net with Jacob Markström guarding the opposite post. The Cats tied the tilt early in the second, fo...

Panthers’ Brad Marchand leaves Kings game with potentially serious injury

Brad Marchand took the ice for the first time since early March during Sunday’s road game versus the Anaheim Ducks. The Florida Panthers fell in overtime, but it was still a productive return for the 38-year-old left wing. Tuesday’s matchup against the Los Angeles Kings went much differently.

Top Six Minutes: The Hurricanes have the Canadiens figured out

First period Nick Suzuki makes a nice play to bat the puck out to the neutral from eye level and then not play it to allow his teammates to change, stopping an early shift of pressure from Carolina. Juraj Slafkovský runs into a trap of two Hurricanes payers as he attempts to carry the puck out, turning it over in the neutral zone. It’s a panic from there as everyone tries to defend the slot instead of taking their assignments, and Taylor Hall scores from the slot. It doesn’t t...
