Podcast Episode 3: After Lightning maul Panthers, can the Cats get right?

The third episode of the Panthers Pressbox Podcast is up and the conversation is heavy around the Florida Panthers’ 5-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Wednesday.

Or, was this exactly the early kick-in-the-pants moment Joel Quenneville needed? After all, Wednesday does not count — win or lose.
