Episode Notes

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@mandoman12) is here with Jacob Winans(@JakeW_8) for another edition of Winans Wednesday. The two look back at Aleksander Barkov's extension from October of 2021 (contract did not kick in until 2022-23 season), and how one season where they finished second in the central division (COVID shortened season) and gave a great challenge to the then Stanley Cup Champion Lightning was enough to convince him that the Panthers were on their way up. There are gonna be multiple milestones hit in the 2025-26 season, one of them is Sergei Bobrovsky climbing up the wins list for goaltenders. Where does his reputation stand as far as what he's done the last few years. Lastly, Jeff Petry is the only new face for the Panthers, what will he bring to the squad in order to replace Nate Schmidt? We discuss all of this and more on today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast: Your Team, Every Day.
