I suspect the team will miss his off-ice contributions more than his work as a D-man.

As a doctor, I can say there's nothing worse than being an interesting patient.

Sadly, the Panthers are good. They may play our style, but there's a bit of an edge. And they have some players who know how to score when the pressure is high.

Overall Florida tax burden is 45th in the US, but the state has very high property and sales taxes. I suspect many hockey players own expensive homes. I agree that the topic is overblown.

Despite their dirty players, Florida is awfully good. They (and Tampa) need to be our targets as we retool this summer. Of course, I thought the Rangers had to be our "must beat in the playoffs" target this year. On D - Does Burns retire, UFA, or take a lot less and play 5-6 minutes (no one...

Florida is a great team built with highly skilled dirty players I don't respect. Tampa Bay is good and the Panthers did to them what they're doing to us. We need a few more players that can play with an edge. But I'd still like to respect my team in the morning. Mo may be a good coach, but I'm...

This series has been embarrassing, but I think the level of hysteria isn’t justified. We need some key players, and we’re going to have resources. We need a good scoring winger or two, at least one big 3rd/4th liner (to provide more muscle than Stahl), and we need a skilled big defenseman to...

They both should have been suspended. The league missed a chance (by design?) to send a message about player safety.

And Mikkola should be done for the playoffs. What a dirty play.

Eckblad needs another 2 day vacation.

Which of our Chicago goalies has actually been most effective? I don’t think of either Martin or Tokarski as a star, but whose appearance won’t send us into deep depression?

Markstrom has also played a heck of a game.

I'm surprised Dom L (and most predictors) are so down on the Caps. They've played awfully well almost all year. As for our series, I think we will win in 5 or 6 games as long as Freddie holds up. We'll lose concentration at some point - hence the 5 or 6. We did split with NJ on the season -...

I'm afraid my story is more ancient. When I was in college ('71-75) we had access to a Honeywell time-sharing main-frame computer with terminals scattered around campus. We stored our projects on paper tape. My research was in computational chemistry, so when they switched the computer from...

Too many Canes passes landing on TB tape.
