On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) brought in Jacob Winans(@JakeW_8) for another edition of Winans Wednesday. The two discuss the latest report from Christ Johnston of The Athletic Sam Bennett and the Panthers getting one step close to agreeing on a deal, the AAV and the term is just not made public as of yet. What does that mean for the other moves that they're trying to make in attempt to keep Brad Marchand and Aaron Ekblad? Another report says it's heading toward Marchand staying, but nothing set in stone. If the Panthers sign two of the three, a cap clearing trade is likely necessary, the two discuss the names that could be on the move. Former Panther Joe Thornton was elected into the Hockey Hall of Fame, now he's the eighth former Panthers to make it into the hall, as this era of Panthers hockey will see at least three. Aaron Ekblad is set to hit the open market when free agency hits on July 1st, if in the case that Ekblad leaves, the more likely rout

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, as the Florida Panthers defeated the Edmonton Oilers by a final of 5-1 in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final to clinch their second straight Stanley Cup title at home. It was a dominant performance from the start with limiting the Oilers high danger chances, where Florida was able to dictate the tempo, with the Panthers counterattacking with disrupting plays in the neutral zone. Sam Reinhart got on the scoresheet four times to become the first Panther to get a playoff hat trick. Florida kept the Oilers to forcing their shots to the point where Sergei Bobrovsky was able to see pucks easily through screens, and able to make two big stops on quick odd man rushes on Corey Perry. The two discuss Sam Bennett winning the Conn Smythe after scoring 15 goals in the postseason, which he is on the same echelon as Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin in their

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) brought in David Dwork(@DavidDwork) of The Hockey News and The Hockey Show of LeBatard and Friends Network to preview Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final. We get David's thoughts on the series to this point as he made his return to Florida after traveling to Alberta for Game 5, as how the Cats have been able to score in bunches early on in game. The two chat about how important recovery has been with Game 6 being their 314th game over the last three seasons, regular season and playoffs and how it's helped them stay fresh for a Cup clincher on Tuesday. Paul Maurice has been able to roll the same lineup with the exception of a few injuries, the two discuss how much of a luxury it's been to see the continuity in the roster while Edmonton continues to scramble while not even naming a starting goaltender for an elimination game. Lastly, it's the final home game of the season for the Panthers, and they are hoping that it's the fina

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) brought in Frank Forte(@FrankForte) to the show to break down the Panthers 5-2 win in game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final. The Cats took full control after Brad Marchand scored the first of his two goals midway through the first period, the Panthers didn't allow a shot for the rest of the period, and were able to get to their game, as the Panthers had as much as a three-goal lead in the third period on Marchand's second goal. Although the Oilers scored to cut it to two, the Panthers put the final nail in the coffin when Sam Reinhart got on the scoresheet making it a 4-1 game. It's been a historic Stanley Cup Final with the amount of goals, but the Panthers were able to turn Game 5 into a low event game. The Panthers seem to have things completely figured out while Edmonton continues to make lineup change after lineup change in order to try to match what the Panthers continue to throw at them. Thw two discuss how the Panthers

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) brought in Nich Fairbanks(@Prudentia0) for another edition of Fairbanks Friday. The two break down the Panthers 5-4 OT loss at the hands of the Edmonton Oilers, where the Panthers blew a 3-0 lead after the first period. Florida chased Stuart Skinner and once Calvin Pickard was between the pipes, the Oilers turned it on from there and flipped the script. Three goals in the second period by Edmonton, and it was a new hockey game. The Oilers continued their scoring in the third as they even took the lead, but the Cats scored with the extra attacker with 20 seconds left in the third to force overtime, but although the Panthers controlled play in the extra period, a little miscommunication from the long change resulted in the Oilers going up the ice and Leon Draisaitl ending it for his third goal of the series. Matthew Tkachuk scored his first power play goal(s) since round one, but the Panthers couldn't continues on their pre

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) brought in Nick Zararis(@NickZararis) of Locked On Oilers for a mid-series check-in. The two break down the series at large through three games, and what adjustments the Panthers should expect from Edmonton in Game 4 as there will also be some lineup changes. How much of a leash will Stuart Skinner have in Game 4?

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 discuss the Panthers going into the off day with the mindset of "winning the day." With the Panthers not hitting the ice until Wednesday, it's a opportunity to rest the body, although it's a preference to be in a rhythm, as Paul Maurice said during his media availability on Tuesday. What lesson's did the Panthers learn from getting beat down in Game 4 in last year's Cup Final to now being on the winning side? The Panthers are in rare company as far as winning by more than 4 goals in each playoff round, how do they compare to the likes of the 80's Islanders. Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch flipped the practice schedule getting the team back on the ice on the first off day as opposed to the second, is that a sense of panic? Brad Marchand and Sam Bennett are the Panther favorite's for the Conn Smythe, both also happen to be UFA's, what does t

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) brought in Josh Leucht to the show to break down the Panthers 6-1 beat down of the Edmonton Oilers, where they took the early lead one minute in, and had their foot on the gas from there. It was a penalty filled game, but prior to the Panthers taking a mult-goal lead, the penalty kill set the tone having Connor McDavid going around in circles. It was the second power play unit for the Panthers delivering again, as the top guys were on the ice for the PK's, they were able to create separation. Florida was able to get under the Oilers skin from start to finish, and it went to another level in the third period as multiple players got their fair share of misconducts. The Panthers chased Stuart Skinner in game 3, but with the beat down in Sunrise, there's a lesson that they could take being on the winning side of a demolition vs being on the losing side in game 4 of the SCF just last year. We discuss all of this and more on to

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) brought in Nick Levine(@NJL1888) of the Cats n' Rats Podcast to Preview Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final, as the series has now shifted to Sunrise. The two discuss their impressions of the first two games, and what rare company we all got to witness as it was the sixth time in Stanley Cup Final History that they first two games of the series both went to OT. The two discus a major advantage that the Panthers could now have going into Game 3 with the status of Oilers Forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins up in the air as he is a game-time decision for Monday night. There was also a switch in the defensive pairs as each pair was different at Oilers practice on Sunday, could the Panthers pounce? Lastly, the Panthers are in a great position tied at one despite Aleksander Barkov, Sam Reinhart and Matthew Tkachuk having yet to hit that next gear in the final, and their lack of special teams scoring has been a big part of that (Panthers 3.

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) brought in Jackson Holzer(@JacksonH_52) to the show to break down the Panthers 5-4 2OT win over the Edmonton Oilers in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final. It was a high event first period where we saw seven penalties and five goals scored in the frame. Florida started to control play where they scored twice taking the lead into the third. Panthers were trying to play shutdown defense in the third period, but their lack of offensive zone time had the Oilers pushing, and after multiple draws lost, Edmonton was able to tie the game with 17 seconds left to force overtime. The Oilers were the ones in control of the first OT, where the Cats had more than one chance to end it, but the Panthers were the ones who controlled the second OT, giving up only one SOG, and then it was Brad Marchand who delivered for his second goal of the game eight minutes into the second OT to give the Panthers the win and to tie the series at one. The tw

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) brought in Nich Fairbanks(@Prudentia0) for another edition of Fairbanks Friday. Nich provides his opinion on game one and the two discuss what the Paul Maurice and teammates said about Tomas Nosek after his delay of game in game 1, and is it a vote of confidence to put him back out there for game 2? The two discuss the physicality of the Oilers, how they've been able to match it, and is there a concern with the time-on-ice differential between the Panthers and the Oilers, and how much the Panthers inability to break it out of their own end has to do with it. There were signs of the Panthers exposing the bottom two D-pairs of the Oilers at times in game 1, but what to the Panthers have to do in order to make Stuart Skinner life harder?

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) brought in Josh Appel(@JoshAppel) from 560 WQAM to the show to break down the Panthers 4-3 OT loss against the Edmonton Oilers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final. Panthers were able to have a lead in the first period despite Edmonton having the ice tilted in their favor, a failed coaches challenge by Edmonton had the Panthers taking advantage with two goals in 1:41. Florida took the lead in the second period and had a 3-1 lead, but it didn't even last two minutes, as Viktor Arvidsson's shot from the rush got a piece of Sergei Bobrovsky and past him to make it 3-2, Florida couldn't shut things down with it being a one-goal game for a good portion of the night. After the second period, it was all Edmonton, after they got their first shot 6 minutes into the game, Matias Ekholm found the back of the net to tie the game at 3. Florida only had eight shots on net from the end of the second period on, and looked gas. Florida coul

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) brought in Jacob Winans(@JacobWinans8) to provide some final words before Game 1. The two discuss the Panthers loose nature from the chirps on the plane and the comfort level of starting on the road once again. The Panthers know what's at stake for their opposition, but how ready will the Panthers be as this will be Edmonton's second crack at it against the Panthers. Aleksander Barkov was surprised with the King Clancy Memorial Trophy and the Selke trophy on Monday, what do the guys think of the surprise. How does Zach Hyman's injury change how the Panthers could exploit Edmonton? Lastly, we give our x-factors for the series and Jacob provides his Stanley Cup pick.

In today's part II, the guys who position by position on how both teams have gotten better, how Edmonton has been able to score outside of McDavid and Draisaitl. The Panthers brought back most of their forward group, with one big change in the top nine, is that enough to bring them over the top, again? How has the defense for Edmonton been more solidified? Is Darnell Nurse less of a liability from last year? Florida were opportunistic with Seth Jones being the Brandon Montour replacement, so they've gotten better. Bobrovsky vs. Skinner, where does each need to be in order to win the Cup? How will special teams play a factor? Edmonton scored five special teams goals (3 PPG's, 2 SHG's) to Florida's one in last years final, will it flip this time around? Lastly, the two give their picks for the Stanley Cup? Who will win and in how m
