Similar to Nathan above, I've been - in the words of a former supervisor who lacked an elementary grasp on spelling - "supper bussy" over the past few days, but we'll be up and running this evening.
Tonight's game features no fewer question marks than any other from this young season, only insert forward Jeff Taffe and remove C Dominic Moore, who evidently needed surgery to put his nose back in it's correct spot. The haunting of that infamous Philly game continues.
Dallas' Steve Ott (he of 696 career penalty minutes) has been suspended a third time, so we won't be seeing his smiling face. Mike Modano is on the IR, as is Jere Lehtonen, but Modano could return to the ice tonight.
In their last meeting, Florida defeated the Stars 6-3 in late March on the efforts of Cory Stillman's three point-night (1g). These are two very different clubs today, so all bets are off.
The Open Thread goes LIVE at 7:30 EST. Hope to see ya. Have a great Halloween-Eve-Day (?)...

Winning takes more than skill
The Cats lack grit and determination, but the biggest thing they lack is experience. Experience dictates that you bounce the puck off the boards to a team mate, not try to thread the needle through 3 of the opposing team’s skaters. They just dont play smart hockey. That may come with time, but how long have we been waiting already?

I notice also that one of the ways they try to get out of the defensive zone is to constantly “chip” the puck out and not necessarily pass it to someone. Are they actually told to do this? They can never get control of the puck by doing this.
Also, they have to start finishing checks. At this point I don’t care if they aren’t bone crushing, but everytime they are within striking distance of a player who has the pcuk along the boards, there needs to be some body contact.
Hey Weiss are you reading this! I don’t think he could hit water if he fell out of a boat!
