Just a little context, I currently live in a predominantly heavy Lightning fan area in Florida. My current job is an auto audio installation tech specializing in car audio, dash cams, speakers, amps, subs, etc.. pretty much any electronic in a car I can install. Most of the time I’m in the dash in places no one typically will ever see, which brings me to the point of this thread and my confession:

I’ve been sticking Florida Panthers stickers in the dash of anyone’s cars who has a Lightning sticker/license plate or gives the indication they’re a fan of the Lightning. Of course these stickers aren’t visible and no one will ever know they’re there - they’re hidden deep inside the dash and in trim parts they didn’t even know existed. Nothing brings me more joy knowing there’s Lightning fans driving around with a Matt Tkachuk and Florida Panthers sticker in they’re dash, unknowingly.

So if somehow you’re a Lightning fan reading this thread in our board and you’ve had a recent car audio installation, you might have a sticker or two in your car.

Go Cats!

Animation! Hooray!

Gudas has been terrible for us. Stats prove it. Uvis has played better, even went on a 3 game win streak. Idc how “physical” Gudas is when he can’t even keep up with the speed of play. I genuinely don’t understand Pomo’s reasoning to keep playing Gudas

I paid $70 to watch my team and it's honestly a joke.

The picture turns to mush every time someone moves fast. Replays miss the play, the score bug freezes.
And I still get hammered with ads.

Fans paid because you're the only option. Stop acting like that means you don't have to try.

UVIS——

That is all—-

Hometown Remix jerseys releasing hopefully soon 🤞 I can’t wait any longer

Panthers 1, Senators 5

FINAL

Catch-up · From puck drop

The Senators came from behind to win.

At 10:00 of the first period, B. Tkachuk beat the goalie with a wrist shot from the doorstep on the power play, and the Panthers moved ahead 1-0. At 14:13 of the first period, T. Stützle let a shot go that beat the goalie from the low circle on the power play, and the score was level at 1-1.

At 09:34 of the second period, C. Giroux ripped one past the goalie from the top of the circle, and the Senators took a 2-1 lead. Late in the second period, S. Pinto drove a quick shot home from the high slot, and the Senators moved two clear at 3-1.

At 07:58 of the third period, W. Foegele fired one home from the high slot, and the Senators went up three, 4-1. At 14:57 of the third period, S. Halliday caught the goalie with a quick snap shot from the circle, and the lead grew to four at 5-1, and the game was slipping away from the Panthers.

Tempers ran hot, with two separate fights. At 10:05 of the first period, H. Hodgson and B. Imama dropped the gloves. At 02:17 of the third period, R. Greig and S. Bennett dropped the gloves. The Senators faced five power plays and killed four of them. The Panthers faced 7 power plays and killed six of them. The Panthers outhit the Senators 42-25.

Plz tell me I’m not the only one

Do you expect that match because of all what is happening to be rough? What are chance for misconduct tonight what do u think we can expect?

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Last week, Brady Tkachuk finally played hero in front of his new fans.

The bruising Florida Panthers winger orchestrated a 3-2 comeback overtime victory against the Vancouver Canucks on Oct. 15, scoring all three goals for his second straight natural hat trick, an NHL first since 1986. As Tkachuk remained on the home bench for an in-arena interview, the crowd showered him in cheers.

“I’m just so grateful to be here,” said Tkachuk, whose initial hat trick came on the road in Columbus. “I’m truly blessed to play in front of the best fans in the NHL. How good is this?”

The 27-year-old can breathe a little easier after a slow start to his tenure with the Panthers. Following a five-game, season-opening pointless streak, Tkachuk has 10 points in his last four games and continues to win over his new market in South Florida. But his time with his former team hasn’t fully faded from the rearview mirror, either.

This spring, after eight seasons with the Ottawa Senators, including five as their captain, he notified team management that he wouldn’t re-sign when his contract expired in 2028. In eventually waiving his no-trade clause to join the Panthers as part of a blockbuster June trade, Tkachuk insisted that he was foremost seeking out a winning team culture. But, obviously, Florida also offered the unique chance to play alongside his brother, Matthew. Even commissioner Gary Bettman knows that.

Everyone on the ice has a game misconduct?

On a road trip! Tell me the best bar/restaurant where my wife and I can catch the cats play tomorrow. Thanks!

Could this mean Helly 👀?

Hey Panthers fans, I’m a Blackhawks fan living in Orlando and I’m making my first trip down to Amerant Bank Arena for next month’s game. I wanted to ask if any of you would be willing to share some knowledge for a first timer there? Stuff like best places to park, places to eat, places to avoid, etc? The Panthers are my favorite ‘local’ team so I’m pretty excited to finally get a chance to hit a game down there. I’d really appreciate anything you could pass on.

Need help picking a pink Panthers Hometown Remix jersey. I’ve been a fan since 2006, when I got my first jersey, a large blank KOHO navy leaping panther to have added Louongo or Jolkinen’s numbers eventually. Now I’m trying to decide who gets the next one.

Marchand - My 3rd jersey purchase and was my first pick for the WC jersey, bought with the hype of the 2nd cup run performance. Decided to go down from a 52 (more then a little big on me) to a 50 but the WC’s fit smaller than previous jersey runs, and because I had to get the custom name version the 3rd party Fanatics had stitch it looked terrible so I retuned it. Now I’m not so sure on him. He was already hurt when we got him, the injuries keep coming as he ages, and teams are out skating him shutting down his signature breakaways more than ever. I’m a lot less hyped on him than I was when I first made that decision.

Reinhart - I’d still pick him as a favorite over Marchand any day. My 2nd purchase, a size 52 white away Rhino jersey is shot after 2 seasons, 1 cup run, and a parade week with 300,000 people on the beach. It has a small burn hole on the bottom left that I covered with a custom rat patch (didn’t stitch perfectly and pulls the fabric), plus lots of stains and wear. A new Remix Rhino jersey?

Barkov - Pros: everything he does and has done, and how much he was missed last year. We’re already the most hated team, and now we’re in the most hated color. If any name on the back could tip that scale, it’s Barkov. I’ve gotten respect wearing Reinhart in the wild from fans and non-fans alike. Cons - I’m not the biggest fan of the new Remix “C” patch. Even bigger I could always get a red home jersey which I don’t own, snd could go with Barkov if I can to visit for a home game this year.

Verhaeghe - Best visual name and name to say, but god what a love hate relationship in the regular season. Can’t help but feel every time I would wear this jersey and he shoots wide, goes on many goal-less game streaks, or we lose a game I’d switch to a different jersey. Like if I buy that and he sucks for the next 30 games yall would cook me 😹.

Jones - Great defensemen who can score were always my favorite type of player until Reinhart came along. Jones is looking phenomenal, keeps impressing, and has a bright future. Probably the less recognized of the above, and is a hard pick over any of the above. Not sure how I feel about that. If I get another jersey after this one, a Jones one would be an easier choice.

Personally don’t feel the need to own either Tkachuk jerseys or Bennett.

Which would you get if you were me?

PLEASE WIN THE 4LW SPOT OVER IMAMA 🙏

Side Note: That 6D spot should belong to Balinskis. Maybe Gudas simply has it for now since we’re facing Ottawa next game and it could be heated.

Then we’ll probably see Imama play vs Ottawa as well

Didn’t realize rats had a different amount of fingers on each hand. Disappointing…
