If it weren't for a couple of needless goals...

…the Panthers would be in 8th place. Thanks, Lindy.

Fantasy?

Shaun Hill @ Miami … or…
Kerry Collins @ Houston

by mikegriffin626 on Dec 13, 2008 8:59 PM EST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I think Collins is better than Hill

man considering he

is the best goal scorer in the NHL right now why would you leave him alone…unless he is just that good a sneaking in behind and cleaning up the play

by Lion Alum on Dec 13, 2008 9:12 PM EST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

For Sure

he has been awesome…that gives him 24 in 31. He won’t come anywhere near the 76 Mogilny had but he should score 50 easy

Joan

tick prices

Because cost of tickets for home games are so much no. The crowd is not in it liek we have been in the past. I have been to games this year. Plenty of empty seats in the arena.

by mikegriffin626 on Dec 13, 2008 9:19 PM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

so because

people can’t afford to go to he games there going to play like shit at home that don’t make any sense
