The Hat Trick
Okay, so this is not actually going to be the usual Hat Trick. Instead, here are some game day articles to check out. This will give you a wider scope of thoughts than we have presented previously this season in the Pre-Game Skate. Enjoy!
Depth Chart for 2016-17: Whyhockey takes a look at the nitty gritty of how the 2016-17 Florida Panthers organization is looking in a broader context.
Trocheck ‘Week-to-Week’: I examine the impact of Vincent Trocheck’s absence from the lineup. If you are looking for something really quick to grab on to: watch Nick Bjugstad and how he works Reilly Smith and Jussi Jokinen.
Grimaldi Recalled: Another beneficiary of Vincent Trocheck’s untimely injury is Rocco Grimaldi. The diminutive forward is getting another crack at the NHL, this time on the third line without Dave Bolland.
