PrintBoston Bruins at Florida Panthers, Feb 21, 2009 7:00 PM EST
The Panthers line up at center ice following Chicago's third goal on Thursday. Said winger Richard Zednik, "We were a bit stiff".
From out of the frying pan and into the fire. Or however that goes. The Broons come to town tonight, and as long as coack Claude Julien has them focused, they will be increasing their lead on the conference with presumed wins in Sunrise and St. Pete.
Numbers-wise, that's the plan. But Pete DeBoer's troops have been ultra-resilient in the past three months, shaking off crushing defeats only to pour on the offense in the next game, no matter who the opponent may be. Not so easy a task for the B's as one may assume. Phil Kessel hasne't scored a goal in 13 games. A breakout tonight, perhaps?
W4E say: Boston is not pleased having to face the vanquished Cats 48 hours after a stinging home loss to the Blackhawks. There may be a wasp nest at the BAC.
Bit of a lineup change: FSN-FL reports luckless-but-hearty Brett McLean will sit, while rough-and-tumble Nick Tarnasky hits the ice.
A sell-out crowd is all but a certainty, so it may be slow going at The Box this evening. Never fear, we'll be doing the back-and-forth with Stanley Cup of Chowder to stay up on the enemy's movements.
BTW...
That's one bad hat, Harry.
Go Cats.

Hortons been getting robbed. The Hawks game the other night he got stoned cold, err Huet made good saves
He did get worked around the net. The guy simply has no luck, and he can’t make his own luck. So he’s jonesed twice over. Helluva talent that is terribly under-utilized (by himself, not the club!)

I didn’t have good connectivity tonight — it took minutes just to blurt out “Full House”. Anyway, nothing I can tell here.
Good to see your name nonetheless. Great night for everyone!

Sign of things to come?
Bouwmeester was wearing a Chicago Cubs hat during a recent interview. Commence speculation.

Wuffy...
…can’t erase the sound of Chuck Kaiton a billion years ago pronouncing Dvorak’s name as De-vor-zhak. I still say it to this day.
