Panthers' 9-1 skid

Sports · Heat 1.4 / 10 · 2 shows · 5m airtime

The Florida Panthers lost 4-0 in Pittsburgh on October 22, 2026, their second straight defeat by a combined 9-1. The discussion centers on Florida's goaltending after a goalie was hit with pucks, on 6'9" Connor Black being the tallest goalie in NHL history, and on Paul Maurice's postgame dismissal of fatigue as a factor in back-to-backs. Little has been settled beyond the scoreline itself.

   Riffs on the tallest goalie in NHL history
