Hockey fans ready to "celly" as the Florida Panthers open the regular season tonight in Minnesota against the Wild. Forward and MVP finalist Matthew Tkachuk says it was a short off-season, ending in mid-June with the Stanley Cup final--but they are looking forward, not behind. The Panthers begin the season with a three-game road trip, with stops in Winnipeg and New Jersey. The Cats then host Toronto in their home opener a week from tonight in Sunrise at the newly named Amerant Bank Arena.
