Florida Panthers superstar winger Matthew Tkachuk had a funny response Saturday when asked how he prepared to be the guest picker on ESPN College GameDay. During an interview before making his picks, Tkachuk said, "I did do homework for the first time since I think ninth grade, so I'm ready to go." ESPN College GameDay was on location in Miami Gardens, Florida, ahead of Saturday's game between the No. That turned out to be a franchise-changing move to the Panthers, as they have reached three straight Stanley Cup Finals since acquiring Tkachuk. Before Tkachuk's arrival, the Panthers had reached the Stanley Cup Final only once in their history, and they had never won a championship.
