When they send the news photog to practice... The boys sense that, they embrace that, and they certainly take advantage of that. Hockey players just having fun in the middle of a long season. You love to see it. @KESQ @Firebirds @LocalTVSPXPrbs @TheAHL @spittinchiclets https://t.co/VNeASC1AVk
If the #FlaPanthers proved anything with their four-game winning streak ahead of the All-Star break, it’s that they can win under any circumstances. And they’ll have some fun along the way, too. STORY: ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://t.co/u0MXqkqzKC
Samuel Ersson continues to rack in the accolades. He joins Connor Bedard, to lead the rookies at the All-Star Game this weekend. They both made the All-Rookie All-Star team. What an honor, and well deserved for Sam #Flyers https://t.co/SUmZD32xIu

#FlaPanthers' Matthew Tkachuk is the NHL's third star of the week after putting up four goals and four assists in the Panthers' four games — all wins. Part of a stellar January for Tkachuk. Wrote a little bit about it here earlier today... https://t.co/5dsrEOHKXY
#Bolts All-Star winger Nikita Kucherov is the NHL's First Star of the Week. Playing in three games last week, Kucherov led all NHL skaters with nine points (4-5—9) and was tied for the NHL lead with a +7 rating. Second time this year he's been named First Star of the Week. https://t.co/xFIQOoWyeP
It may have just been a week in late January — but it was a historic one for the #FlaPanthers. Lots happened in their four game span. ⬇️👇⬇️👇⬇️https://t.co/8MvDXtYFK6
