EMPTY CALORIES: Panthers blew another two goal lead as they failed to beat Boston in regulation

On today's edition of the Locked On Florida Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) brought in Jackson Holzer(@jholzer52) to break down the Panthers 5-4 shootout win over the Boston Bruins. Despite the win, Florida played a sloppy brand of hockey where they gave up clean lanes to the net that had them blow an early lead. Special teams came to play in the second period, as they got two power play goals and a short handed goal as well. Matthew Tkachuk stole the show int he second period where he got a goal and an assistent on the power play and forced the Bruins to take a penalty that led to a PPG. Florida unfortunately gave the Bruins multiple opportunities to get back in the game going to the box seven times, and Boston was finally able to convert on their sixth to tie it at four, and the two-goal lead evaporated Boston had a chance to end it in regulation, and the Cats had a short handed chance at the end thanks to Sam Reinhart, but Joonas Korpisalo shut it down. Neither team scored in the OT, so it was decided in a shootout, where it went to a fourth round and it was Brad Marchand who got the winner before Sergei Bobrovsky closed it. Bobrovsky got his 450th win of his NHL career on Wednesday. A win is a win, but in the context of the playoff chase, it was a game that the Panthers could not have afforded for it to not be anything other than a regulation win where instead of getting to seven points out of the final wild card spot, they are now eight points with Boston as the last team in. Great news is, the losing streak is over, and there's one game left before the Olympic break and it's against state rival Tampa Bay. The gulf coast has been a great, where they are 9-3 (regular and postseason) at Benchmark international arena under Paul Maurice. We discuss all of this and more on today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast: Your Team, Every Day.
