PrintJust poking around the web on a dreadfully hot Sunday and dug up some numbers related to the Panthers record versus other teams (since the 2004-05 lockout), primarily within the division but we'll include a few other nuggets as well.
Against the Southeast Division (42 games-played in each series):
FLA vs Atlanta Thrashers - 18 W-19 L-2 OTL-3 SOL (realistically: 18 W-24L) GF: 108 GA: 127
FLA vs Carolina Hurricanes - 14-20-6-2 (realistically: 14-28) GF: 124 GA: 136
FLA vs Tampa Bay Lightning - 25-12-0-5 (realistically: 25-17) GF: 148 GA: 119
FLA vs Washington Capitals - 22-17-1-2 (realistically: 22-20) GF: 122 GA: 126
A bit more following the jump...
Some interesting factoids:
- The goal differential against ATL can be viewed as a partial result of the efforts of two guys - Marian Hossa and Ilya Kovalchuk
- Swinging wildly the other way, CAR's dominance is somewhat muted when considering only 12 goals separated the two clubs over 42 games; regardless, a loss remains a loss
- Even when pitted against Vincent a formidable offensive trio in Vincent Lecavalier, Martin St. Louis, and Steven Stamkos, the Bolts - minus top-shelf goaltending - continue to struggle head-to-head with the Cats; witness a -34 goal differential. And how about never having endured an OT loss?
- And then there's Washington, whom Florida purely owned until the Glen Hanlon regime was swept away after 21 games during the 2007-08 season, unleashing Alex Ovechkin to annoy us on a regular basis
Looking back further
Now that the Thrashers are headed to Manitoba, here's where the Panthers-Winnipeg series stands - though keep in mind the relocated franchise will retain Atlanta's records...
FLA vs Winnipeg Jets - 5GP 3W-2L 19 GF 15 GA
We're all aware of the joint bit of playoff history Colorado and Florida share, but how about when we knew them as Les Nordiques?
FLA vs Quebec Nordiques - 7GP 2W-4L-1T 19 GF 25 GA
And of course, there's the Whale prior to being hijacked out of the Insurance City...
FLA vs Hartford Whalers - 16GP 8W-6L-2T 43 GF 40 GA

Cant believe the stats against TBL and WSH! But we have to do something about Carolina, I am more than sick of losing to them…

I kind of expected the stat against TB. I don’t remember the last season series the Panthers lost against them. The last two seasons have washed WAS out of my mind though. It seems that the Panthers have always been owned by them since the Peter(Petr?) Bondra days. As for Carolina, I’ll blame their power plays and their home ice advandage in the series. The cats have won there, what, twice since they moved to Raleigh?
Here’s to hoping it gets turned around this coming season. I hope the other teams in the division HATE playing Florida.
After all the 1 goal games, I doubt if anyone (other than Ottawa, Pittsburgh and Boston) likes playing against this team. Someone summed up the Panthers pretty well last season when they said we were ‘sneaky good’

Thanks for the info Donny. At least we know we would win a playoff series (statistically speaking) or at least stand a good chance against Tampa. Cats always do a good job of being physical against Tampa’s top players.
