On today’s edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) is joined by Florida Panthers Historian Francisco Oporta(@fjojr and @FLACatsHistory) to recap the Panthers’ 5-4 overtime loss against the New York Rangers from Amerant Bank Arena. It’s now the second straight game in which the Panthers lose in the extra frame (won 11 games in a row in OT prior to the last two). The Panthers controlled play once again on the night, but New York once again picked their spots to create mistakes into goals on the night, with untimely pinches, tip-in’s, and New York’s counter attack. Florida had six power play opportunities on the afternoon, where Sam Reinhart scored his first goal on the man advantage since Game 4 of Round One, then added another later in the first period. There was a missed opportunity for Florida when the Rangers Defenseman Jacob Trouba went to the box for two separate penalties. Although Trouba was not called for a 5-minute major, the 4-minute PP only saw one shot on goal, with also allowing one short-handed to Rangers forward Barclay Goodrow, who now has three goals in the series. The cats got on the board first, but had to climb back twice (when it was 2-1 and 4-2) to force overtime. The Panthers poured a lot of shots on Igor Shesterkin, but failed to take the eyes away from the one-time Vezina Trophy winner. In the last 8:13 of regulation, the ice was tilted in the Panthers’ favor where Sergei Bobrovsky did not see a shot and with Florida having a multitude of offensive zone draws due to New York icing the puck a good amount of times due to being pinned in their own end. Florida had multiple sparks after some line shakeups, which resulted in quick goals to give themselves a chance to win. The guys give their three stars of the game, when they thought the game was lost. We discuss this and more on today’s edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast: Your Team, Every Day.

Lucky shot!! Hit off dude.. unreal
Rangers getting guys to front of the net. Panthers need to do the same. You got to take away goalie eyes
Another painful overtime loss. Forsling almost put us ahead with that shot which hit the post. I was glad to see Reinhart finally wake up on offense but Tarasenko has remained completely invisible. At this point, it might make sense to just scratch Vlad and return back to their old "pre-trade" lines.
Learned nothin’ from game 2. Still the same defensive breakdowns. Simplest defensive strategy; whatever you f@ckin’ do, don’t let a Ranger behind your last player and they still do it. Same as basketball, football, hockey…keep them in front of you.
what u are experiencing is what those before u have experienced. ask the canes. rangers come through when the lights shine the brightest
Man, you guys are guessing at this stuff , lucky tip in ? The slow mow shows his deliberate redirection ! Tachuck dove for his penalty . Don’t get me wrong rangers stole this game. Florida was better , but be realistic with your analysis .
did you guys watch the replay? he deflected it. on purpose. it wasn't an accident. wasn't flukey. it's not like it hit his skate. my god. stop whining. give the rangers some credit. they know how to win.
A los dos le hago una invitación al cementerio…allí pueden llorar mejor…
Rangers fan checking in, keep doing your thing man 👍🏻. Enjoyed getting other side perspective.
However, your guest. You don’t like that “cheap goal” at the end? HA. We scored on ourselves again, plus a goal off a glove. & then the refs guh guh guh guh-ing them. Staaapp
As a Ranger fan Im still very cautious. Florida is a formitable opponent with very good playoff goaltending. I feel good about the 2 overtime wins but if the Rangers give them an inch they are going to capitolize.
Not trolling, you came up in my feed, I watched, and responding as a Ranger fan, but several things you said are way out of whack. Number one, Freaky goals? Discounting tip ins? Watch it again, is all I can say, and the Rangers are quite good at it. Considering the Rangers top scorers haven't done squat so far, I would be worried if I was a Panther. They might not get going but then again they might. As far as Trouba getting a major, which is my second issue. Where were the majors for the hit on Vesey? How about any call? Guy got head butted and not a puck in that zip code, at a minimum should have been interference. He was actually injured and sat as well. Then the hit Wennberg should have been a major not a minor. The high stick to Linderman whose face along his nose is still purple from game one and no call. Hate to say it but its hockey and the "Intent" rule is moronic. The Panthers have most definitely received the benefits of the referee's eyes this series regarding penalties. So please no crying about calls particularly when your team has had some very clear benefits from calls.
Maybe if Florida didn't have Tinkerbell's like Rodrigues and Reinhart, the hockey Gods might have been on your side.
And how funny it is to see guys cry out because of a "dirty hit" 😂🤣
Didn't Bennett literally sucker punch Marchand with no repercussions??
Go make like Timberlake and cry me a river 😂😂😂😂
Besides, someone should give Rodrigues an Oscar. The guy took an elbow to the shoulder, went down as if he was hit by a .45 caliber bullet from a sniper rifle 🤣🤣
Just to pop right up after the penalty was called and was instantly on the PP unit the very next shift. GTFOH!!
(A PP on which the Rangers scored a shorty 🤣🤣 the puck doesn't lie!!!)
Woulda had another shorty, but Reinhart pretending to be hurt to get a whistle in the midst of a Rangers odd man rush WITH the puck prevented that. Tilted Ice……doesn't matter.
Refs helping Fla….. doesn't matter.
Out of all the teams left in the playoffs the Rangers finish the best and I think some of you don't realize how important a skill that is.
Half of Florida's goals were oddball goals and the Rangers goals were high skill types.
Cheap OT goal? As a NYR fan, call it whatever you like, we’ll take them all day any day for the WIN!!!
Panthers are an elite team that the Rangers and its fans have total respect for!!
The better team won and is winning….
Barkov's off the hand goal and wasn't reviewed.. Is a cheap goal.. The one that went off of Trouba's skate is a cheap goal.
Rangers fan here: this game wasn’t stolen, and it bothers me that even Rangers fans are saying it. We had a 2 goal lead in the 3rd. It should’ve never went to overtime. We scored a short handed goal. Typical Rangers game. Did we get out shot? Yeah, we had a bad 3rd period. So, actually we almost lost the game ourselves. But, we came through in overtime like we’ve done all year long. 4-0 in playoffs. #itsourtime #letsgoRangers
What you are seeing is what the Rangers have done all year.
Typical cry baby the panthers legit barely won game 1 and then lost the next 2 and if it weren’t for BOBS CIRCUS ACT WHERE WOULD THEY BE AGAINST TAMPA OR THE BRUINS 🤣 long time rangers fan even though I live in South Florida and come to enjoy the panthers but STOP WITH THE EXCUSES ESPECIALLY WITH THE 2 worst goals in the playoffs in game 1 PLENTY OF CHANCES NO CAPITALIZATION AND BEING TOO OFFENSIVE AND DIDNT PLAY DEFENSE MISSED ASSIGNMENTS BLOWN COVERAGES AND A GOALIE WHO CARRIED THE TEAM THE FIRST TWO ROUNDS . 😢 cry me a River bad boys of hockey 🤡
That short handed goal in my opinion was the turning point of the game in regulation 25 seconds apart. That’s when I realized the game was lost
WAHHHHHHHHH
Dude you lose all credibility when you make the claim that Trouba hit him in the head. Watch the video. Shoulder? Yes. Neck? Maybe? Head? You're smoking something.
What happened there Bobber lol?
The difference is the NYR have Igor Shestirkin and the panthers do not.
I have never seen such cry baby bullshit in my life. How can you can a deflection a cheap goal? On either side a deflection goal counts. Stop being little bitches
Lost on all the comments in here is that the Rangers have out scored the Panthers 5 on 5. If that continues, Rangers win this series. You can throw the rest of the stats out.
