Ten #Nhlstats About the Florida Panthers, Who Are Headed to the Postseason for the Second Consecutive Season and Seventh Time in Franchise History Ten #NHLStats about the Florida Panthers, who are headed to the postseason for the second consecutive season and seventh time in franchise history. 1. After reaching the Stanley Cup Qualifiers in 2020, the Panthers will make consecutive postseason appearances for the second time in club history (also 1996 and 1997). 2. In 1996, the Panthers became the first of the seven 1990s expansion franchises to reach the Stanley Cup Final. The Tampa Bay Lightning (2004, 2015, 2020), Anaheim Ducks (2003, 2007), Ottawa Senators (2007), San Jose Sharks (2016) and Nashville Predators (2017) have since followed suit. Florida will look to follow Tampa Bay (2004, 2020) and Anaheim (2007) as the third 1990s expansion club to hoist the Cup. 3. When the Panthers made their run to the 1996 Stanley Cup Final, they accomplished many feats that were later achieved by the Vegas Golden Knights in 2018. Florida became the first NHL franchise to win each of its first three playoff series; the fifth to reach the Stanley Cup Final in its first playoff appearance; and the eighth to reach the Final within its first three seasons. 4. Florida is one of three teams in the Discover Central Division (also CHI, TBL) with a player who has won the Stanley Cup more than once (Patric Hornqvist: 2016 PIT, 2017 PIT). In 2017, Hornqvist became the second player in NHL history to score a Cup-clinching goal versus the team that drafted him (also Rick MacLeish, 1974). 5. After winning the Stanley Cup as a rookie with rival Tampa Bay in 2020, Carter Verhaeghe will aim to become the second player in as many seasons, fourth in the NHL’s expansion era (since 1967-68) and ninth in League history to win a championship in consecutive seasons with different teams. Verhaeghe also can become the first player in NHL history to win a Cup in each of his first two NHL seasons with different clubs, as well as the eighth ever to win a championship with multiple NHL franchises based in the same state or province. 6. Aleksander Barkov and Jonathan Huberdeau, the top two highest-scoring players in regular-season franchise history, are the only current Panthers with multiple career postseason goals for the club. Barkov (Tampere, Finland) aims to become the first Finnish-born captain in NHL history to lead his team to a Stanley Cup. Nicklas Lidstrom (Vasteras, Sweden; 2008 DET), Zdeno Chara (Trencin, Slovakia; 2011 BOS) and Alex Ovechkin (Moscow, Russia; 2018 WSH) are the only non-North American players to captain a Cup winner. 7. Joel Quenneville hoisted the Stanley Cup for the first time in 1996 as an assistant coach, when his Colorado Avalanche defeated the Panthers in Game 4 at Miami Arena. He has since become one of 11 head coaches in NHL history to win the Stanley Cup three times (2010 CHI, 2013 CHI, 2015 CHI). He ranks third among head coaches with 119 career playoff wins and fourth in series victories (23) behind Scotty Bowman (49), Al Arbour (30) and Dick Irvin (25). 8. Keith Yandle is one of 12 active NHL players with 1,000 or more career regular-season games who is in search of his first Stanley Cup. Yandle, who owns the second-longest consecutive games played streak in NHL history, will look to become the fifth member of the top 10 on that list to win the Stanley Cup – he would follow Doug Jarvis, Phil Kessel, Steve Larmer and Jay Bouwmeester. 9. Sam Bennett (11) has the second-most career playoff goals among current Panthers (behind Patric Hornqvist: 25), all with the Calgary Flames. In 2014-15, at age 18, Bennett notched a point in both his first career NHL regular-season and playoff games – doing so four days apart en route to helping the Flames to their first playoff series victory in more than a decade. 10. The Panthers will aim to halt a run of six consecutive postseason series defeats that dates to the 1996 Stanley Cup Final, tied with the Maple Leafs (6 straight from 2004 Conference Semifinals to 2020 Stanley Cup Qualifiers) for the longest active run of consecutive postseason series losses. .

  • Postgame Quotes Nashville Predators Vs. Buffalo Sabres January 18, 2020
    Postgame Quotes Nashville Predators vs. Buffalo Sabres January 18, 2020 Nashville Predators Quotes Head Coach John Hynes On his thoughts of the team’s performance from start to finish… I give a lot of credit to the players. We didn’t necessarily like what our game was like against Anaheim. I addressed some things yesterday and worked on some things. These games are always a little bit iffy because there is a break. I thought that the mental focus, the effort, the intensity level, the commitment to play the game the right way, managing the puck, puck battles, shot blocking, defensive structure – those things were all there. One of the biggest things we wanted to see was our intensity level in the offensive zone rise for extended time, grind the team down, getting more net-front traffic and pucks to the net. We did that tonight. When you play that way, you have to play hard. You have to be committed. Tonight, we had a committed effort and got rewarded for it. On the team's response after losing in Buffalo… The response was better and that's another area that we talked about, even after our press conference after the Anaheim game, was about mental toughness and fortitude and push back in your game and that's what it takes to be a to be a team, that you have to earn your confidence. We went out and even though we were down, the way that we were playing, that gives you confidence that if we stay with it and stick with it and don't veer off it, that we'll be able to get another one and we were right in the game.

  • Turnbull Hockey Pool For
    Turnbull Hockey Pool for Each year, Turnbull students participate in several fundraising initiatives, which we promote as a way to develop a sense of community, leadership and social responsibility within the students. Last year's grade 7 and 8 students put forth a great deal of effort campaigning friends and family members to join Turnbull's annual NHL hockey pool, raising a total of $1750 for a charity of their choice (the United Way). This year's group has decided to run the hockey pool for the benefit of Help Lesotho, an international development organization working in the AIDS-ravaged country of Lesotho in southern Africa. From www.helplesotho.org "Help Lesotho’s programs foster hope and motivation in those who are most in need: orphans, vulnerable children, at-risk youth and grandmothers. Our work targets root causes and community priorities, including literacy, youth leadership training, school twinning, child sponsorship and gender programming. Help Lesotho is an effective, sustainable organization that is working at the grass-roots level to support the next generation of leaders in Lesotho." Your participation in this year's NHL hockey pool is very much appreciated. We believe it will provide students and their friends and families an opportunity to have fun together while giving back to their community by raising awareness and funds for a great cause. Prizes: > Grand Prize awarded to contestant whose team accumulates the most points over the regular NHL season = 10" Samsung Galaxy Tablet > Monthly Prizes awarded to the contestants whose teams accumulate the most points over each designated period (see website) = Two Movie Passes How it Works: > Everyone in the community is welcome to join in on the fun.
