Panthers Mailbag: Knight and Lundell

Welcome to the first "Florida Panthers Mailbag" of the 2022-23 season.
For this inaugural installment, fans submitted a wide variety of questions -- including one involving ducks and horses -- for the dynamic duo of Spencer Knight and Anton Lundell.
With multiple ways to enjoy, fans can either watch the attached video with some of the top questions the former first-round picks fielded from fans, or simply continue reading below to check out their responses to all of the fun questions that made their way into the mailbag.
If you'd like to submit questions for a future mailbag, stay tuned to @FlaPanthers on Twitter throughout the season to see which two players will be tasked with answering questions next.
Mixing things ups this season, players will be asking each other the questions.

Knight (Question 1): Do you enjoy looking at signs during warmups? If so, do you have a favorite one?
Lundell: I do. I like to look around at what all the young fans bring to the games. I have to say that I really like the big Lomberg head. That's my favorite.
Knight: Yeah, that's a good one.
Knight (Question 2): What's your favorite city to visit on the road during the season?
Lundell: There's a lot of good cities for me. Almost every city is a city that I've never been to before. I have to say that New York is probably the best so far. Los Angeles is also really nice and a fun time.
Knight:There ya go, the Big Apple!
Knight (Question 3): If you were a goalie, what would you have on your mask?
Lundell: Well, my dad played professional as a goalie for 18 years. He always had my name and my brother's name on the back of his mask. I would have, at some point, the names from my family on the mask.
Knight (Question 4): What's been the biggest challenge for you in transitioning to the NHL?
Lundell: Maybe it's all the games. We play so many games. Every second day there's a game. That's the biggest adjustment. You have to be in good shape because you have to be at your best every second day. That's a challenge, but at the same time we have to recover good and stay fresh for the next games.
Knight (Question 5): What's your favorite Christmas movie?
Lundell:My favorite Christmas movie is "Home Alone."
Knight:That's a good one. We should watch that on the plane.
Lundell: Oh yeah, we've got some time to watch some movies.
Knight (Question 6): How do you like to spend your time off?
Lundell: I like to relax a lot. It's pretty tough with the travel and all the games. I like to go outside and take some walks. Once in a while I'll go to the beach and take in some sun. It's more just trying to relax and trying to recover for the next game.
Knight (Question 7): What's your favorite thing to eat back home in Finland?
Lundell:That's a good one. I have to say that I love the Finnish chocolate.
Knight (Question 8): Would you rather fight a horse-sized duck or 100 duck-sized horses?
Lundell:Probably one big duck because the horses are pretty strong.
Knight:Yeah, I don't even know. I've never heard that one before.
Lundell: If there was an option for no fighting, I'd take that.
Knight (Question 9): What's the best present you got for your 21st birthday?
Lundell: I got so many birthday wishes. It felt like it was two weeks of birthdays. Probably the cake at the rink. That was a huge cake with my picture on top of it and all the guys were able to eat from that. That was pretty cool.
Knight: You also got ice cream that night. I bought that.
Lundell: Yeah, that was good. Thank you for that *laughs*
Lundell (Question 7): How has being around Sergei Bobrovsky helped you improve your game?
Knight: Yeah, I obviously grew up watching him a lot when he was in Columbus. On the ice there's obviously a lot of things I can pick up on, but I think what I've learned from him is more off the ice with how he approaches the game. He stays so levelehaded and even-keeled. He never lashes out, which is something that I admire. When things are good he's humble and when things don't go how he wants them to he keeps his head very high. I think that's something that, as a goalie, can take a while and is hard to do sometimes. If you can find a way to do it, it's great. He's been showing me how to do that.
Lundell (Question 8): Is cereal a soup?
Knight: No. Next question.
Lundell: [Laughs]
Lundell (Question 9): What was it like facing Anton Lundell at the World Juniors in 2021?
Knight:It was good. You were drafted by then, right?
Lundell:Yeah. That was the tournament you won.
Knight:Yeah, that was fun because I knew that you and I would be playing together soon. Finland is always hard to play against. They always have a great team every year. At the end of the day, it was nice just looking at you and knowing I'd get to play with a guy like that soon.
Lundell:But we lost to you in the semifinals. Not that good memories for me [laughs].
Lundell (Question 10): I see on Instagram that you cook a lot. What's your favorite thing to cook and have you ever cooked for any of your teammates?
Knight:The thing I cook the most is probably steak. I do that mostly in a cast-iron skillet. I cook a lot of salmon and I'll do some chicken with pasta. I do everything. I keep it fairly simple during the season. But I've learned to cook a pretty good steak, so I do that the most. I've cooked for you before.
Lundell: Yeah, I can say that he's a pretty good cook.
Lundell (Question 11): Why is orange Gatorade the best?
Knight:I don't really know. It's something I've always done. It was the first one I grabbed.
Lundell (Question 12): What's your goal song?
Knight: Mine's still a work in progress. We're working hard and trying to figure that one out. It's coming, so stay tuned.
