The Panthers offense came alive in the third period of their win over the Rangers on Wednesday night. This carried over in a big way last night when the Cats pounded the Lightning by a score of 9-3.
And with that victory, Florida players and fans woke up this morning feeling like this:
Nothing better than stepping into the New Year coming off a strong performance. You just can’t ask for anything better.
There was so much going on last night in terms of individual performances. Check out t some of these numbers:
Barkov: 1g, 1a Duclair: 2g, 1a Huberdeau: 1g, 4a Lundell: 1g, 1a Luostarinen: 1g, 1a Vatrano: 1g, 1a Weegar: 2a Mamin: 1g Ekblad: 1g
And assists coming from Reinhart, Montour, Marchment, Gudas, Lomberg and Verhaeghe.
Actually, trying to highlight everything from last night’s win would be tough. Instead, I think the below Tweet is the perfect summarization:

And with that, I just wanted to wish all of you a Happy New Year. I’ve enjoyed another fun year of compiling words into mediocre blogs to give you guys a space to talk Panthers hockey.
The Cats will be back at it tomorrow afternoon against the struggling Montreal Canadiens. But until then, enjoy whatever it is you do when ringing in the New Year! _____________________
Stay safe out there and be ready for tomorrow…Go Panthers!
