  • CHASING HISTORY: Cats attempt to leap 2010's Hawks as best dynasty of Cap era (LO Blackhawks joins)
    Sep 5 2025

    On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) is joined by Jack Bushman(@JackBushman2) on today's show to discuss the Panthers chasing history as the best dynasty in the salary cap era. Although Chicago did not win three and a row, one can argue that three Stanley Cup Championships in six seasons is even more impressive. The two compare and contrast the cores of the two teams, how each team has had to navigate replacing depth players, the differences in approach of Florida trading a bunch of early picks while Chicago maintained, and discussing each teams level of adversity. Chicago will officially be placing numbers in the rafters in the coming years, and that's something for Florida fans to look forward to 10 years down the line. We discuss all of this and more on today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast: Your Team, Every Day.

    Aug 29 2025

    On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) discusses the new role that former Chief Revenue Officer Shawn Thornton has taken with the NBA's Atlanta Hawks, and how this may the the beginning of other organizational changes coming in the next few seasons. Lightning forward Jake Guentzel was asked if Matthew Tkachuk ever apologized for his late hit in game three of their first round series back in April, so we discuss whether the rivalry between the two teams is still going to be at its best once again. If so, will it last any longer as Tampa Bay's core players are getting up there in age. The Panthers announced their prospect showcase roster and Evan Rodrigues took the Stanley Cup to the happiest place on earth! We discuss all of this and more on today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast: Your Team, Every Day.

  • MATTHEW TKACHUK UNDERWENT SURGERY! + Panthers sign F Luke Kunin
    Aug 25 2025

    On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) is here to discuss the news of Matthew Tkachuk undergoing the surgery for his torn adductor and sports hernia that he suffered in the Four Nations Face-off back in February, and how despite the report of him contemplating the surgery, how it's not a surprise that he ended up giving himself the green light to go through with it. How long is he expected to be out of the lineup? Will this effect his chances at playing in the 2026 Winter Olympics? Shortly before the report, the Panthers signed F Luke Kunin to a year deal worth $775K, and it's a reunion is more ways than one, as Kunin grew up with Tkachuk in the St. Louis area, and was represented at one point in his career by GM and President of Hockey Ops, Bill Zito. Champions should never be complacent, and the signing of Kunin sets alarms to the Panthers fourth line as all three guys in AJ Greer, Tomas Nosek and Jonah Gadjovich are in contract years, and with Kunin in the mix, it creates some intriguing battles when training camp rolls around. Lastly, we recap the biggest storylines coming out of the AMERIGOL LATAM Cup that just wrapped up at the Panthers Ice Den in Coral Springs. We discuss all of this and more on today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast: your Team, Every Day.
