Chad Williams+FollowDowdle’s Future with Panthers in DoubtTough end to the season for Rico Dowdle, who started strong but faded in the Panthers’ biggest games, especially that wild-card loss to the Rams. With Chuba Hubbard and Jonathon Brooks in the mix, Dowdle’s frustrated postgame comments hint he’s likely out when free agency hits. Did the coaching staff make the right call benching him, or did Rico deserve more trust down the stretch? #Sports #Football #Panthers00Share

qwilson+FollowCharlotte’s Panthers sign: More than just a messageThat hand-painted sign outside Dilworth Neighborhood Grille isn’t just a quirky Charlotte landmark—it’s become the city’s unofficial voice for Panthers fans. Owner Matt Wohlfarth started using the sign to vent frustrations and share hope, and it struck a nerve with locals (and even Panthers owner David Tepper). Now, the weekly-changing messages reflect the city’s sports spirit, sparking conversations and laughter for everyone passing by. With the Panthers back in the playoffs, the sign’s legacy grows. What would you put on the sign this week? How do you think local sports shape our community vibe? #Entertainment #Charlotte #Panthers00Share
Jordan Leblanc+FollowMarchand Nearly Became a Maple Leaf?!Panthers fans, can you believe Nose Face Killah almost traded in his red for blue and white? Brad Marchand just revealed he was this close to joining the Maple Leafs last summer. Toronto had a serious offer lined up, but after lifting the Cup with Florida, Marchand knew he had to stay. Imagine the rivalry if he’d crossed over! Props to GM Zito for keeping our core together. What do you think—would Marchand have changed Toronto’s playoff luck? #Sports #IceHockey #Panthers00Share
stacy28+FollowPanthers’ playoff hopes hit by key injuriesLosing Seth Jones to an upper-body injury just after he was named to Team USA is a tough blow for the Panthers, especially with Matthew Tkachuk and captain Aleksander Barkov already sidelined. The team paid a steep price to bring Jones in, and he’s been a bright spot since joining from Chicago. Good news: Coach Maurice says Jones should be back before the Olympic break. But with the Panthers barely hanging on in the playoff race, missing three core players could make this six-game road trip a real test. How do you think the team should adapt? #Sports #IceHockey #Panthers00Share
Jeffrey Armstrong+FollowPanthers vs Bucs: Bryce Young’s Footwork WoesTough loss for the Panthers at Raymond James, and once again, Bryce Young’s mechanics are under the microscope. Kurt Warner didn’t hold back, pointing out that Young’s footwork at the top of his dropbacks is capping his potential—especially with his arm strength not being elite. The Bucs, led by a vintage Baker, took advantage, and now Carolina’s playoff hopes hang by a thread. Can Young clean it up and become the franchise guy? #Sports #Football #Panthers00Share
Jason Smith+FollowPanthers-Bucs: Officiating Sparks OutrageDid anyone else feel like the Panthers-Bucs game was decided by the zebras, not the players? That late-game stretch was brutal—questionable calls kept swinging momentum Tampa’s way, and even NASCAR legend Jeff Burton jumped in, calling the officiating 'unacceptable.' When a guy used to racing drama is fed up, you know it’s bad. Panthers fans, do you think the refs cost us the division? #Sports #Racing #Panthers00Share
Jeffrey Armstrong+FollowPanthers Bust D.J. Johnson Gets New Shot in D.C.Looks like D.J. Johnson, once a risky pick by the Panthers under Fitterer, is getting a second chance with the Commanders—thanks to a familiar face in the front office. After failing to make an impact in Carolina and getting cut, Johnson lands on Washington’s practice squad. Is this a smart move or just another Fitterer reunion? Either way, the Panthers’ edge woes are now D.C.’s gamble. Thoughts on this NFC rivalry twist? #Sports #Football #Panthers00Share
William Morrow+FollowPanthers honor Marchand’s 1,000th point in styleBrad Marchand’s journey to 1,000 NHL points is the kind of story that hits home for anyone who’s ever faced a tough road. The Panthers celebrated his milestone with a heartfelt ceremony, letting Marchand’s family pick the night—fittingly against the Canadiens, a team that’s been part of his story for years. From early struggles and being sent down to the minors, to lifting the Cup and now this, Marchand’s career is a reminder that grit and gratitude go hand in hand. What do you think makes a player’s legacy—stats, moments like these, or something else? #Sports #IceHockey #Panthers20Share
Jordan Leblanc+FollowTkachuk’s Winter Classic Status: Will He Play?Great to see Chucky back on the ice for the Cats, but Coach Maurice is keeping it real—no guarantees for the Winter Classic showdown with the Rangers. Tkachuk’s recovery from surgery is on track, but the docs have the final say. With Barkov still out, having Tkachuk would be huge, but risking his long-term health for one game? That’s a tough call. What do you think—should the Panthers roll the dice for the Classic, or play it safe for the season? #Sports #IceHockey #Panthers00Share
