Hate to sound like the Panthers website, but these are two massive games this weekend. We need to win at least the home game, and put up a better showing against the Giants.

I'm personally a bit baffled by the Teddy Bear Toss rules for this game. If Panthers score, the bears come flying in, but if they haven't scored in the first period, they'll get thrown as the 1st period ends? I get they don't want to have a scenario like a few years ago where we got shut out, but why not wait until at least after 2 periods? We've only scored 1 first period goal in 8 home games. Seems pretty negative to me.

Seems pretty negative to me. Confused by the teddy bear toss full stop. Great thing to do for the kids but there must be a better way of doing it. I will always remember the old woman sitting a few rows in front of us getting floored by a 4 foot teddy that didnt make the plexi |

The last time I saw it at the Nic .. it took them 20 minutes to clear the ice 🤦 |

End of first period might be the best time to do it full stop, rather than first goal, you'd still get the spectacle of it without delaying the game, and I assume period breaks are still 20 minutes long so there's time for the clean up. |

It's funny. I can neither confirm nor deny that I nailed a Steeler on the noggin with a plush toy a few years ago. TBF this entirely hypothetical Steeler did laugh it off and it was, theoretically of course, a very soft toy. |

Why not do it at the end of the game, when the ice doesn't need re-conditioning. If it takes 20 minutes to clear after first goal or end of 1st period, the game will end after 10pm.
