On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) and Jacob Winans(@JacobWinans8) break down the Panthers' 5-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, where the Panthers rested multiple guys, while Tampa Bay still had something to play for. The Bolts got on the scoresheet in the first two minutes and it didn't end there, the Panthers also gave up a short handed goal for the second game in a row, and while down 5-on-3. Jesse Puljujarvi was making a case for the postseason lineup, but may now be facing discipline from the department of players safety after his illegal check to the head of Mitchell Chaffee. Game 82 was a physical one as it was a setup for what's going to happen later this weekend, as with the Toronto Maple Leafs win in Buffalo, the Cats and the Bolts will meet in the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the fourth time in the last five years, where each time, the winner has represented the east in the Stanley Cup Final. The guys also zoom out and grade how the Panthers faired

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) is here to break down the Panthers' 5-3 loss against the New York Rangers, where the Panthers had a two goal lead with less than five minutes left in the second, and then surrendered four unanswered goals to officially end their chances of getting home-ice in round one of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Sam Reinhart lit the lamp twice and Carter Verhaeghe is once again a 20-goal scorer after struggling mightily this season. Dmitry Kulikov and Sam Bennett made their returns to the lineup, while the entire Lundell line along with Mackie Samoskevich got the rest on Monday. Lost board battles and losing the puck in the neutral zone had the Rangers getting high quality chances on Sergei Bobrovsky, and the Rangers' fourth line was the line of the night at 5-on-5 crashing the net. Once the Rangers took the lead with a short handed goal, the Panthers had a hard time establishing their games, and even made some decisions in the pursuit

The Panthers got scoring chances but had a hard time finishing, but it came to fruition in the second period with three goals in the frame. The tone was started by the defense as they were consistently activating in the play, and the Panthers had multiple full line changes due to their forecheck. Evan Rodrigues got in on the scoring for the first time since March 1st, and Barkov is now a 20-goal scorer for the 10th time in his career. Paul Maurice got his 915th win, passing Barry Trotz for third all time in Head Coaching wins. Gustav Forsling and Uvis Balinskis both had multi-assist games, and Brad Marchand got his first as a Cat.

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) brought in Jacob Winans(@JacobWinans8) for another edition of Winans Wednesday. The two brea down the Panthers' 3-1 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs to wrap up the season series at 3-1-0. In their fourth and final game, the Panthers were in total control through the 60 minutes, where the Panthers gave the top players from Toronto nothing through the neutral zone. Panthers were able to roll their four lines as the pucks were constantly deep, and had their physical presence felt with 43 hits on the night. Florida had two stretches of nine minutes in the first and third period where they did not allow a shot on net, and played from ahead the whole night. Gustav Forsling got the first goal of the night as he returned to the lineup after missing Sunday's game in Detroit. Florida and Toronto were tied up at one after 40 minutes, but the Panthers were dominant in every category, and it came to fruition just over a minute into th

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) brought in Roy Bellamy(@RoyBelly) of the Dan LeBetard Show with Stugotz and The Hockey Show to discuss the weekend for the Panthers, where they controlled play in Ottawa, but unfortunately could not find the back of the net against Anton Forsberg, resulting in a 3-0 shutout. That led to the Panthers making multiple call-ups from AHL Charlotte, as a ways to get the group healthy before the playoffs start in less than two weeks. About nine players that we would predict on the lineup that faced off against Detroit would likely not be in the lineup for game one of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Panthers and Red Wings were scoreless after 20, but two goals against in the second period made it out of reach for a Panthers teams as depleted as they currently are. With the current playoff format, did it make the coaching staffs decision a lot easier knowing that it'll be one of Toronto or Tampa that they'll meet in round one? Lastly, A

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) is here to break down the Panthers' 3-2 regulation loss to Toronto, where the Panthers came in even more short handed with no Aleksander Barkov nor Nico Sturm. With the lineup being rearranged, the Panthers held their own until the final 10 minutes of the third period where the Leafs took the lead and the Cats had to play catch up from there. Florida was able to bring it to a one-goal game on the power play thanks to Sam Reinhart, but was not enough to get a single point as now the Cats fall to four points behind Toronto. We give our three duds and when we knew the game was lost. What is the worry meter with heading to the final seven games?

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) brought in Jacob Winans(@Jacobwinans8) to the show to break down the Panthers' 3-2 OT loss to Montreal in a game where the Panthers looked like they were on their way to getting two regulation points, only for it to be snatched with just over eight seconds left in the third period and then the Habs ending it under 30 seconds into overtime. Florida was able to control play in the final 40 minutes of the game after losing Nico Sturm in the first period due to friendly fire on a collision with AJ Greer, and even Aleksander Barkov for parts of the second period. Panthers scored on the power play with Barkov in the locker room. The Panthers maintained Montreal's speed with zero odd man rushes against in the first 40 minutes, but one transition play changed everything where the Seth Jones could not deny the entry by rookie phenom Lane Hutson, and then after the puck was thrown toward the net, a block by Sam Reinhart and Vitek V

Lastly, the two discuss the road to their respective positions in the standings, and how much tougher is Florida's road for the Atlantic? Will Montreal get the final wild card spot?

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) brought in Jackson Holzer(@JacksonH_52) to break down the Panthers' 4-2 loss against the Montreal Canadiens, where the Panthers continue to match the Habs' desperation. Three different games, same result. Second consecutive game where they start down with a Power play goal against by Patrik Laine (Montreal on of two PPG's). Panthers responded the first two times, and even controlled play where they held them to four shots on net in the second period. Once the Habs took the lead two minutes into the third, where we would expect the team down to control play, but it was the team leading who did. Montreal was able to beat Florida with speed and being faster to chasing loose pucks, which was summed up when the third goal found the back of the net. The top line for Montreal had multiple players getting multi-point games, along with rookie phenom defenseman, Lane Hutson. Although the Panthers penalty kill had a great month of M
