Following up their memorable first season in the sunshine state in which they missed the 1994 Stanley Cup playoffs by a single point, the 1994-95 edition of the Florida Panthers put up a record of 20-22-6 during the lockout shortened 48 game campaign, once again missing out on their first playoff birth by a single measly point. Offered here, is this team-signed limited edition printers proof print by Denis Pereira done in commemoration of that second season of play. Depicting a pair of leaping panthers in front of the number two in roman numerals with Florida goalie John Vanbiesbrouck also pictured at the right side with an NHL puck at the left, the piece measures out to approximately 17" x 25" and is displayed under a plain white matte with everything housed in a simple plastic blue coloured frame that displays with some wear to the corners, edges and sides with full dimensions measuring out to 22" x 30 1/4". Serial numbered "20/50" in pencil at the bottom right corner, a printers proof notation reading "Po Po" is found near the left hand side in matching pencil while artist Denis Pereira has added his signature at the bottom left corner in pencil as well with the autograph displaying without issue. Having been signed throughout by 32 members of the 1994-95 Panthers in bold blue marker ink, those that have autographed the print include; Wayne Huizenga (Owner), Bill Torrey (President), Bryan Murray (GM), Roger Neilson (Coach), Lindy Ruff (Asst. Coach), Dean Jordan (VP of Business), Craig Ramsay (Asst. Coach), Brian Skrudland (Captain), Scott Mellanby, Joe Cirella, Rob Niedermayer, John Vanbiesbrouck, Tom Fitzgerald, Jody Hull, Gord Murphy, Bill Lindsay, Keith Brown, Brian Benning, Paul Laus, Andrei Lomakin, Róbert Švehla, Dallas Eakins, Stu Barnes, Randy Moller, Jesse Bélanger, Mark Fitzpatrick, Jamie Linden, Jeff Daniels, Bob Kudelski, Dave Lowry, Geoff Smith and Mike Hough with all the autographs displaying strong and legible. Hailing from the personal collection of Brian Skrudland, his signed LOA will accompany the piece.
