If last season’s ‘Battle for Florida’ Stanley Cup Playoffs taught us anything, it’s that the Panthers are done with losing in the first round. This off-season didn’t change much about their roster, but the Panthers already have the winning formula in their tight-knit, depth-heavy team.
The biggest obstacle they’ll face this coming season is the competition in the Atlantic Division.
Where they left off
It’s been 25 years since the Panthers have won a playoff round, but Florida is promising that this next year will be it. Last season was just a taste of what the Panthers can accomplish, although it seems like they’re plagued with the Edmonton Oilers syndrome — a great regular season, yet a lack of post-season success.
