Panthers Unveil New Scoreboard

October 11, 2013 by Leave a Comment

In an offseason that saw several new additions join the Florida Panthers family both on and off the ice, the team’s final new addition, a brand new state-of-the-art scoreboard, is set to be unveiled tonight in front of a full house at the BB&T Center in Sunrise as the team hosts the Pittsburgh Penguins at 7:30 P.M.

The new scoreboard measures 30 x 40 feet and was designed by Anthony James Partners. This state-of-the-art project boasts one of the first pitched-forward, 360-degree continuous primary screens in professional sports. The 6mm LED high-definition screens will measure 16-feet high and wrap approximately 168-feet around the scoreboard. Although the scoreboard will be predominantly digital, it still contains both the BB&T Center and Broward County logos.

GAME DAY SONG:  KINGS OF LEON: ALWAYS THE SAME

 After a week on the road, the Florida Panthers will finally come home to the friendly confines of south Florida and the BB & T Center to host the Pittsburgh Penguins for their home opener.  The only good thing about the four game road swing was game one, which the Panthers played a very complete game to beat Dallas 4-2.  Since then it’s been a downward sprial with losses to St. Louis, Philadelphia and Tampa Bay.  It’s not only that the Panthers have lost three in a row, it’s the way they’ve lost, which has to leave a bad taste in their mouths.

The shellacking in St. Louis, and the beating received in Tampa surrounded a valiant effort In Philadelphia.  However, there is no column for effort, and things need to turn quickly.  The Panthers who have been outscored 16-3 in the three losses must tighten up their defence for one, and must forecheck and backcheck better as well.  Both were problems last season with an injury riddled team.  A reversal of fortune was expected with the addition of veterans Tom Gilbert and Ryan Whitney on defence.   The turnaround has yet to materialize.

Panthers Lifeless In Tampa

There’s not too much recap here as the Florida Panthers had a team put up a touchdown on them for the second time in three games. This time, the culprit was the cross-state Tampa Bay Lightning, who took advantage of a sloppy effort from the Cats at both ends of the ice in a 7-2 thrashing.
