Panthers’ goal horn didn’t work in Game 3 of Cup Final. It’s ready to go for Game 4
The Florida Panthers’ goal horn is back.
After the blaring siren was rendered silent in Florida’s 6-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Monday in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final, the horn will be ready and in full force for Game 4 on Thursday at Amerant Bank Arena.
Florida Hockey Now reported Monday that the goal horn’s absence was due to an electrical issue. The team has a recording of the goal horn but did not start using that until the second period.
But the horn was heard in full effect during dress rehearsals ahead of the 8 p.m. puck drop.
The horn is used each time the team takes the ice to begin a period, after each goal and following a win.
The horn would have been pretty busy on Monday. The Panthers scored six times — their sixth time scoring a half-dozen goals this postseason and second time at home (also a 6-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference final). Brad Marchand, Carter Verhaeghe, Sam Reinhart, Sam Bennett, Aaron Ekblad and Evan Rodrigues were the goal scorers.
