On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) brought in Nich Fairbanks(@Prudentia0) for another edition of Fairbanks Friday, as the two break down the Panthers 5-2 loss to Tampa Bay. It was a carry over as receipts were kept from their last two playoff series with the level of physicality that there was on Thursday night. Panthers led twice, scoring two special teams goals, and Daniil Tarasov was standing on his head in the first period before the game got out of hand. What do the guys think of the special teams units? There are only three more cuts to make for the final roster, who will be the last guys out? Who do the guys think will make it? We discuss all of this and more on today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast: Your Team, Every Day.
