We’ve said this over the last few seasons, but it’s really playoffs or bust for the Florida Panthers this year. After the additions they made during this summer’s free agency period, the buck finally stops here with the list of excuses.
Now with a competent coach in charge of this ship in Joel Quenneville, the Panthers now have everything they could ask for. Better yet, this now means that playoffs aren’t only considered as an “expectation” but are more so viewed as the “new reality.”
Of course, booking a spot for the Stanley Cup Playoffs won’t be so easy this year considering the level of competition the Panthers will face.
