The Panthers will become only the tenth team in the NHL’s long history to win back-to-back Stanley Cups should they manage to pull off a repeat against the Edmonton Oilers, who themselves have achieved the feat twice. Needless to say, coach Paul Maurice would want his squad at full strength when they roll into Rogers Place on June 4. But is that a real possibility? The Panthers’ HC was in the press on June 1 and faced important questions on roster and player availability. When a reporter asked Maurice whether everybody would be ready to go by Wednesday, Maurice replied without a curtain on his answer. Maurice started, “There’ll be a question mark on A.J. Greer. ” Greer suffered a lower-body injury versus Carolina on May 24, and missed Game 4. And although he made it to the ice for the series-clinching Game 5, the winger recorded only 4:22 minutes of ice-time, which included a shift as short as 22 seconds in the third period. But while Greer may be doubtful, the Panthers’ coach assured that the rest are ready to go.The Panthers’ head coach further added, “…Other than that, everybody’s ready to go now. So, we’ll have a full group. There’s only one that we’ll watch. Yeah, he’s out there today, he’s ready to go. Tomorrow will be, so you know what I’m telling you, tomorrow will be a full day.” He also added, “If somebody doesn’t warm up right in the gym, and that’s kind of the way we do it, sometimes a guy’s a hundred percent behind, he just can’t get his back to loosen up, we just don’t put him on the ice. Other than that, I’m expecting a full lineup tomorrow.” Stay tuned, this is a developing story…The post Florida Panthers Coach Gets Honest About Player’s Injuries and Expected Line-Up Ahead of Stanley Cup Opening Game appeared first on EssentiallySports.
