Mike McDaniel did a fin-tastic job of hyping up the FLA Live Arena crowd on Wednesday.

The Miami Dolphins head coach participated in the Florida Panthers' pregame festivities by banging the drum before Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Final against the Carolina Hurricanes.

McDaniel sported a custom Panthers jersey while he enthusiastically hit the drum and led the fans in a "Let's Go Panthers" chant.

Earlier in the week, McDaniel shouted out the Panthers and the Miami Heat for their respective playoff runs during a press conference.

McDaniel gets an extra point for that pregame performance.
