This is third time Mazzone has received an All-America nod from the USILA as he was an honorable mention selection in 20 while playing at Georgetown. Mazzone's 77 ground balls are the most by a non-faceoff specialist at Johns Hopkins since Matt Bocklet had 99 in 2008, while his 18 caused turnovers were tied for second on the team. Mazzone started all 18 games on close defense for the Blue Jays and counted two goals, two assists, a team-high 77 ground balls and 18 caused turnovers to his credit. Mazzone and Smith become the first Blue Jay defensive tandem to earn All-America honors since 2013 (Tucker Durkin-1 st Team / Chris Lightner-MD), while Martin is the first short-stick defensive midfielder in program history to earn a spot on the USILA All-America Team. Graduate student Alex Mazzone (D) earned a spot on the second team, while juniors Scott Smith (D), Russell Melendez (A) and Brett Martin (SSDM) and freshman Matt Collison (M) were honorable mention selections. The five selections are the most for Johns Hopkins since 2018, when the Blue Jays also produced five All-Americans. In other words, where he goes, the Panthers will follow.BALTIMORE, MD – The Johns Hopkins men's lacrosse team placed five players on the 2023 Blatant Lacrosse USILA All-America Team it was announced today. And then he gets here and he’s the one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet.” “He plays a hard game, is in your face all the time, he is not afraid of pretty much anything. “Before he got here, he was one of those players you hated to play against,” Barkov said.

How he carries himself off the ice equally impresses those around him he throws team dinners, knows the name of everyone in the organization and gives everyone from Barkov to bus drivers the same respect.
What he’s doing on the ice - everything from big goals to blocking shots - is clear for the whole world to see. “They’ve got a lot of good players and they’ve had a really nice season and they’ve had some success over the last few years, but he changed their franchise, let’s be honest.”Ī quadruple-overtime winner in Game 1 at Carolina started Tkachuk’s new end-of-game celebration, and he didn’t even need two minutes of OT in Game 2 before he did it again. “He’s kind of become the face of the Florida Panthers,” said Wayne Gretzky, hockey’s all-time points king and now a TNT analyst. They ousted Toronto in five games, and now have a Carolina team that Maurice calls hockey’s best club in terms of analytics squarely on the ropes. They eliminated Boston after the Bruins had the best regular season in NHL history and took a 3-1 lead over Florida in that series.
The Panthers had an up-and-down regular season and had to rally just to make the playoffs. The messages were clear: Regular-season joyrides aren’t what the Panthers are seeking, and Tkachuk - the son of former NHL star Keith Tkachuk and brother of Ottawa forward Brady Tkachuk - would make them a much tougher out in the playoffs. The Panthers made a huge splash by trading Jonathan Huberdeau, the leading scorer on a team that had the best regular season in the NHL a year ago, to Calgary for Tkachuk, who signed an eight-year deal in that process. It all started with a confident move by general manager Bill Zito last summer. “We’re a confident group no matter where we’re playing,” Florida forward Sam Bennett said after Saturday’s 2-1 OT win at Carolina in Game 2 - the eighth consecutive win on the road for the Panthers in these playoffs, the second-longest such run in NHL history. The Panthers have a lot of heroes right now.
I guess, it’s just ‘Let good times roll.’ It’s just fun to come to the rink every day and it’s fun to be at the rink every day. “We’re just kind of riding the wave right now. “I don’t really know if it has sunk in or if we’re allowing ourselves to let it sink in,” Tkachuk said. It’s a great problem to have, with four home conference final games - Heat Sunday, Panthers Monday, Heat Tuesday, Panthers Wednesday - in a span of four nights. South Florida is a Basketball Town right now.
This is how big a star Tkachuk has become in his first postseason run with the Panthers: Jimmy Butler, who’s a bit busy right now leading the eighth-seeded Miami Heat as they - like eighth-seeded Florida - chase an improbable NBA championship, let the world see he was wearing a Tkachuk jersey for an off-day shooting workout a few days ago. He also plays a very highly skilled game so he can connect with everybody in the room.” But he’s just grown into that leadership role and he’s one of those guys that can touch everybody in the room, whether it’s the fourth-line guy or the extra guy. “He’s an exceptional guy and even over the course of the year, he’s kind of matured,” Panthers coach Paul Maurice said.
