In 1993, Moynihan became the radio color commentator and pre- and post-game show host for the expansion
Florida Panthers of the
National Hockey League. His talk show was moved to 10 p.m. to 1 a.m to accommodate his Panthers duties.[1] In June 1994,
WQAM's vice president and general manager announced that Moynihan would not have his contract renewed.[2]
Moller has been the Panthers' television
color analyst since 2015, following eight seasons as the team's radio
play-by-play announcer and nine years as a radio analyst before that. He is known for screaming a pop culture reference after Florida Panther goals, though not every goal, and not when the Panthers are out of the game. Examples such as references to
Tracy Morgan on 30 Rock, a
Christian Bale tirade, film quotes from Wedding Crashers, Jaws, and Forrest Gump are included on a
YouTube clip produced by The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz.[3] The goal calls by Moller were done in conjunction with The Dan Le Batard Show, which shared the radio station that hosts the Florida Panthers radio play-by-play. The show and listeners provide Moller with numerous pop culture references, and he then chooses what he likes and uses it during games. He is also the president of the Panthers Alumni Association.
McDonald filled in for Florida Panthers radio play-by-play man
Randy Moller for three games when Moller became ill in January 2010.[4]
WPLG serves as the local over-the-air broadcaster for Florida Panthers as part of the current NHL contract with
ABC. This excludes the team's
2023 Stanley Cup Finals appearance which aired on
TNT.
