Florida’s Shawn Matthias Scored (Maybe) the Best Goal So Far This Season (Video)

Fat Florida Panthers Fan Dancing Shirtless is Terrifying (Video)
The Florida Panthers are perennially in the bottom third of the league when it comes to attendance rates. Last year, for example, they averaged just 16,628 fans per game, which means they only filled 86.4% of the seats. Only seven teams did worse.

Frozen Fisticuffs Fight Of The Night — Gudbranson vs. White — 3/27/12
When the Florida Panthers drafted Erik Gudbranson with their third-overall pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, they knew that they were getting a tough, hard-nosed defenseman that would someday become a physical force at the NHL level.

Stat Line Of The Night — 3/11/12 — Jose Theodore
It has been well over a decade since Miami last hosted an NHL playoff game, as the Florida Panthers have not qualified for the post-season since the 1999-2000 season.
