Florida Panthers
By Rogerio Istiraneopulos of The Rat Trick
The Florida Panthers are about to wrap up their 2013-14 season as they played their last away game last night in Long Island against the New York Islanders. They fell 4-2 and finished the season 13-25-3 on the road. Not only was that game the last away game for this season for the Cats, it also seemed to be Scott Clemmensen’s last game in a Panthers’ jersey.
Ever since the acquisition of Roberto Luongo and Dan Ellis at the trade deadline, the Panthers sent Clemmer to San Antonio to play for the Rampage (Florida’s AHL affiliate) and was recalled when Luongo suffered a neck injury against the Phoenix Coyotes. As Loungo is now scheduled to be coming back next game and Clemmer being an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season, it looks like Clemmer’s stint with the Cats is coming to an end.
The Panthers have five games left and they will fight to finish the year with a winning record at home. They are currently 14-17-5 and it would be very comforting to finish the year above .500 at the BB&T Center. Injuries are still hurting this team but Luongo is on his way back to the ice and the season will end with a lot of “Luuuuuu!”s raining down.
