PrintWelcome to On the Prowl, a collection of links from the LBC staff published each Wednesday and Sunday to stories pertaining to the Florida Panthers, their affiliates, and the National Hockey League. Have at it after the jump...
LBC Notes
- We've recently established what's initially being dubbed the "LBC Trading Post": found on the lefthand sidebar of the main page, this area will be dedicated to community members interested in buying, selling and trading Panthers / NHL merchandise, tickets, whatever. This is not a substitute for eBay, simply another avenue for fans to connect and swap cool, unique items without the pressure of an auction environment. More info at the link above.
- Sales have increased steadily over the past week for our LBC / Panthers Opening Night Suite Event; get in touch with Zach now to secure your spot!

It was good
to finally get some love outside of South Florida in terms of our defense. I really can’t wait to see what D-Pairings we come up with.
A lil thunder and a lil lightning is what the Cats are going to bring this year.
The power play differential statistic isn’t anything new to us but the disparity is surprising. I thought it’d be -100 or so.
So does this mean we get to be on the power play all season as a massive makeup call?
Florida Panthers, Good Hockey, Great Sponsors!! Panthers STH since 1994 and Lightning STH since 2011.

Don’t know if this is new or not, but Shop.NHL.com has some Vintage Whalers gear up. Link.
:)
They also have vintage gear for most teams (no Panthers) and some teams of old. (Nordiques, Whalers, North Stars, Atlanta Flames, Montreal Maroons, New York Americans, Toronto St. Petes)

Oh, I’m aware; the Hartford stuff has been a best-seller for quite some time. Kinda bugs me though: I used to take pride in wearing all of my old stuff on certain occasions, but now it’s so “in” that I’m hesitant. Doesn’t have the same swagger appeal any longer :(

I don’t know, they were digging my Whalers hat at the Joe Louis in January. Needed it in Detroit in January. Man, was it cold. My Flyers sweater, they were less impressed with. Probably because the Flyers won the game.

More love...

I mean, on the surface thats what Tallons deals were. While I’m writing these FA signing articles I hope I’m getting the point across that you have to overpay to bring in legitimate talent while you’re a rebuilding team.

After the era of the unholy triumvirate (Cohen, Keenan, and Martin), yes. Prior to them, ten years ago, not so much. It wasn’t until Cohen was the ONLY buyer for the Panthers, that they got sold off and scared people away, cause no one knew when they’d get traded for earning too much.

More on Grimaldi from the official site here.

I think it’s worth pointing out that the official site has new wallpapers available, and in a lot of them it has the players in the new home reds, but also in a white…. Check em out, they seem a little different. The away whites?!
