Are Panthers in trouble without Tkachuk, Marchand and Ekblad?
TSN Hockey analyst Frankie Corrado joins SC with Jay Onrait to discuss how weird it is to see Brad Marchand in a Panthers jersey and if Florida is in trouble with mounting injuries and now news that Aaron Ekblad has been suspended for 20 games due to violating the terms of the NHL/NHLPA performance enhancing substances program.

“Florida is struggling a bit”. Haha okay, have won 6 in a row, given up 1 goal in 4 games, leading the Atlantic division, and just brought in 2 huge assets. And all of this being done without Tkachuk. TSN proving once again they don’t know hockey outside Eastern Canada.
They just won 6 games in a row, 2 shutouts in 3 games. Struggling. Jesus man, do your Dam research. Shit.
What a joke- all 3 will be rested for the playoffs. florida will beast again .
Isn't Nate Schmidt on the Panthers now? Coincidence? I think snot.
Struggling? 6 games winning streak with 3 shutouts? What are you talking about
Yes. The bruins are going to slide in the playoffs and shock the world when they beat the Pampers in the playoffs
He's right people, that one goal Panthers allowed in the last 4 games was really brutal, went all the way into the back of the net and everything.
Yeah…..big time.
I always wondered why Tkachuk in the playoffs would rush off the ice, now we know why.
What goes up must come down
Struggling? This man has been watching the NFL’s Panthers team.
We've let in, what, 20 goals in 13 games and won most of them. Get real we're struggling
First of all marchand has yet to play a game yet for the cats so he hasnt been a factor.. yet. Losing ek will hurt but jones will get some reps with forsling which will likely be a preview of next seasons pairing if ek doesnt resign. And the whole "struggling" bit has everyone scratching their heads. How tf is a team on a 6 game heater allowing 1 goal in the last 4 struggling?
"floridas actually struggling right now" lmao. Panthers are on a 6 game win streak and have allowed 1 goal in their last 4 games.
Pay attention to hockey, fellas. Florida has won 6 in a row.
Learn puck.
they already have a powerhouse team, they don't need to cheat too, glad he got caught. I think the Panthers are pulling a golden knight style coup at the trade deadline by putting Tkchuk of long term injury reserve unti a day before the playoffs (aka Mark Stone). As a result extra money at the deadline to lavishly spend on upgrades.
They have never even had Marchand, and lost a draft pick for him so why are you throwing him in with the other two?
Seth Jones will cover Ekblads spotand they will as a unit probably have to do a bit more, but also keep in mind he’s on the back stretch of his career not in the middle of his prime… and Tkatchuk will be there sometime in the postseason….
Why do you try to make something out of nothing???
It’s actually quite pathetic
Jay! we expect better from you! Do your fucken homework! Florida struggling??? 🤣 Yeah dick, 3 shutouts in the last 4 games of a 6 game winning streak is struggling 😂😆☠
They need to take away their cup. Disgusting Cheaters
"Oh no, what will happen without 1) The 1D, who has been out, has now been replaced, and whose absence means the lines go back to the way they were literally 2 weeks ago. 2) Tkachuck out, which, has actually led the panthers to win 6 in a row with 3 shutouts. 3) Marchand out… who… they haven't ever had on the team.
The real question is, if the Panthers are winning so much right now. What does it look like with another 23M in value on the ice.
"Are you concerned that the Florida Panthers will have a well-rested Matthew Tkachuck, Brad Marchand and Aaron Ekblad right in time for the playoffs?"
So I think I'm confused… allowing 1 goal with 3 shutouts in the last 4 games while being on a 6 game winning streak WITHOUT Tkachuk is considered "struggling"? 🤔
Do you really get paid for this kind of reporting? The Panthers are struggling? Since when? We’ve allowed 1 goal in the last 4 games…. This is horrible reporting. Bias much? Wishful thinking?
Nah they are just resting for playoffs lol
