GAME 39

January 2, 2025 - 2:13 PM ET

Happy New Year, Cats fans! The Panthers finished their 2024 on opposite ends of win/loss column. After laying an egg against the Montreal Canadiens, a tilt they lost 4-0 against a rookie goalie making his first start (oof!), Florida bounced back and downed the sinking New York Rangers 5-3 in the...

GAME 41

January 6, 2025 - 5:00 PM ET

The Panthers are in the midst of a very Panthers thing that they tend to do, which is play inconsistently. After dropping their 2025 opener to the Carolina Hurricanes, they narrowly edged past the Pittsburgh Penguins in a SO of their last tilt. Tonight they will take on an Avalanche team that...

GAME 42

January 8, 2025 - 6:27 PM ET

The Panthers’ scoring woes continue, as the speedy/skilled Avalanche dumped the Cats 3-1 on Monday night. Florida has a lot of scoring ability in their top six, but they have been struggling nightly as of late. Bob was strong against the hot Avs, turning away 31 of 33 shots. But there’s...

GAME 43 / Winter Classic

January 11, 2025 - 2:22 PM ET

The Panthers will take on their trusted rival Boston Bruins today in every Cats’ fan favorite (not!) matinee game. These 1PM ET / 12PM CT games are usually awful for Florida… Per Litter Box Cats: “The Bruins enter today’s tilt on a nasty six-game losing streak that has seen score ju...

GAME 44

January 14, 2025 - 9:56 PM ET

Here with a quick (and late blog) because work was killer today! The Panthers find themselves on a two-game skid heading into their tilt against the New Jersey Devils tonight. Losing first to the Bruins on Saturday in what was a wild and entertaining game - especially the last second of the thir...

GAME 47

January 18, 2025 - 1:24 PM ET

Despite a hot home crowd cheering on their Cats, Florida could not defeat the Red Wings on Thursday night. It was a tale as old as time as the Panthers symbolically shot themselves in the foot - surrendering three goals to Detroit’s Power Play. Yes…Florida’s special teams PK unit had n...

GAME 48

January 21, 2025 - 11:04 PM ET

Panthers vs Ducks in Anaheim. Yep, it’s a dreaded Pacific Time Zone game with the puck drop set for 10 PM ET. Ugh…get your coffee ready… Orson Welles GIFfrom Orson GIFs The saving grace is the Panthers broke their “slump” against these same Ducks a mere two days ago when Flori...

GAME 50

January 25, 2025 - 3:23 AM ET

The Panthers are 1/1 on their current West Coast swing. After downing the Ducks 5-2 on Tuesday night, the Cats had a quick turnaround (via the dreaded back-to-back schedule) and found themselves on the receiving end of a 2-1 loss to Los Angeles Royalty on Wednesday night. The first 2/3 of the...
