Facts about Panthers: - They're like your cat, but bigger. - The average Panther weighs somewhere around 190 lbs, is around 6 feet in length, and is worth millions of dollars. - The long claws on a Panther make them perfect for maneuvering on the ice, as well as climbing trees. - The dominate male of the pack often depicts his dominance with a prominent mane extending exclusively from the back. The front is for business only - The pack as a whole is 5-4-1 in their last 10 hunts, including a 3-0 ambush loss at the hands of the rival Red Wings - Panthers can roar in Canadian, Finnish, Czech, American, and Floridian, the last of which is merely a 911 call - Panthers only gather during mating season with 82 annual rituals. The last time bonus humps were awarded was 2011-2012, but that party was ruined by the Devil - The Florida Panther is not a real panther, it's actually a cougar. Oddly fitting, given Florida's demographic - I once saw a Jaguar eat an alligator. Jaguar's are actually Panthers, sometimes - Panthers are often dominated and abused by their older rival in the animal kingdom, horses The Sabres, on the other hand, will look to reverse their fortune and get back to their winning ways. Coming of a 2-1 OT loss to the refs last Saturday night, Buffalo and the insanity encapsulated that is Robin Lehner will look to chuck pucks instead of helmets this time around and come out with the W. Buffalo has lost 2 straight OT games, one being the Skills Competition, and both at the hands of the Boston Bruins. The good news is, Robin Lehner appears to not only be the emotional catalyst necessary to drive some life into this team, but he's also slowly melting away the fear that GMTM paid too much for a replaceable part. Combine Lehner's play with the addition of a likely top 10 pick and the continued development of Kane, Eichel, Risto, Reinhart, and Zemgus, and it looks like National Geographic will have to do a special on us next year as the surprising upstart rising to the playoffs. Look for Lehner vs. Luongo; Marcus Foligno and Zemgus Girgensons are both questionable, with Marcus likely playing. Barkov ruled out with an UBI on a big hit from Abdelkader last night.
