Spoilers or players?  Well we have seen this &#8220;movie&#8221; over the past few season with Florida in the month of March.  Trade deadline over, pressure to win is off, players relaxed since they weren&#8217;t moved, and the winning seems to come easier.  Ah, but we all know that this is just the little tease that [...]]]></description>

Some more good news out of Sunrise, Florida today as Panther Captain Bryan McCabe was selected as the NHL&#8217;s third star of the week. McCabe has contributed quite nicely to the two game winning streak that Florida is on as he accumulated seven points in two games last week.

Tonights matchup between the streaking Carolina Hurricanes and the Florida Panthers will be the last meeting of the season between these two division rivals with Florida attempting to even things up at three a piece.  Although it&#8217;s unlikely that either team makes the playoffs, it hasn&#8217;t stopped Carolina from turning around their dismal start to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Florida Panthers.  Another Rebuild?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So the trade deadline has come and gone and it appears that Panthers General Manager Randy Sexton will never be compared to Monty Hall.  Maybe we don’t want him to be, but apparently he was unable to unload what was behind door number 3.
While all of us Panther fans were waiting with baited breathe for [...]]]></description>

Well, sort of.  Immediately following the opening faceoff Panther Gregory Campbell and Flyer Ian Laperriere squared off.  Two seconds later Panther Nick Tarnasky tangles with Flyer Arron Asham.  Then at the 2:45 mark of the game, Panther forward David Booth basically followed Mike Richards of the Flyers from the Flyers zone into the Panthers zone, checked [...]]]></description>
