It’s not like we really needed any further confirmation that the Florida Panthers would not be back in Rochester but Dale Tallon said, “It’s done.” He made the comment a few minutes in his locker room clean out interview here.  The Amerks camp has consistently said the current lease would not be renewed which left a small bit of fear that something could change.  I don’t think anyone really believed they’d be back but to hear Dale Tallon say it’s done was great.
I’d like to say it’s been fun with the Panthers but it really hasn’t been. Â It’s been fun getting to know some of the players on a personal level and they’ll be missed but from the standpoint of a fan of the TEAM it’s been dreadful.
More to come about the last five seasons and then it’ll be time to move on.
