LIVE BLOG - Florida Panthers at Buffalo Sabres
Florida Panthers at Buffalo Sabres, Mar 25, 2009 7:00 PM EDT
The Cats sure could use an infusion of super-terrific happy moments like this.
And the chase begins anew. Two clubs in a life or death struggle. Florida hasn't had a lot of luck in Buffalo the past few years, but this has been a season of many breakthroughs, firsts, and mountaintops conquered. Are they due? Perhaps. Do they deserve a win at the HSBC based solely on achievements made earlier in the year? Not a chance. They'll have to earn this one too, in a season ripe with drama.
Translation: They've more or less sucked lately, not in every one of those recent losses, but in flashes the Panthers were their own worst enemy. No freebies at this time of the year.
Welcome back for LIVE BLOG night at The Box! Get in on the action, or simply enjoy the banter. Don't cost nuthin'.

I’m hoping they get invigorated on the road and we start scoring goals again.
Get the computer taken care of Whale4ever?
Think most of the issue was in carrying the video feed from NHL.com. Just. Too. Much. for my TRS-80.
Should be okah tonight!

Why can't women sing the Star-Spangled Banner without going all Mariah Carey?
Because it’s really irritating. You’ll note she didn’t do that to “Oh, Canada.”
Anyway, found a feed, have a couple pints of hard cider. Here in full effect, y’all!
It’s a burgandy night at the Casa Whale

Depends on who they re-sign
Skrastins is a free agent. But I’m thinking it could be:
Ballard/Allen?
Ballard/McCabe?
Hmmm…
For some reason I’m guessing McCabe goes second line behind Ballard…spreading the “wealth” and all

In an ideal world, yes. But that’s assuming he’s back next year. No idea how he feels about playing here. Coach seems to like him.
Exactly. No reason – that we know of – why he wouldn’t be resigned to a shortie deal. He’s not that expensive, and shouldn’t be next year

We need more Slap Shot references. I don’t think our game presentation staff have ever heard of it. They’re always playing clips from football movies.
dude W-T-F is up with the refs tonight
call them both bleeping ways

What do you mean tonight?
Every night. You should have seen what they did to the Thrashers last night. Or the Panthers on Monday, for that matter.
I thought there was supposed to be 8 guys on the ice, and the person crossed the blue line before the puck

It’s too late in the season. I can’t not watch. It’s like a train wreck. Can’t. Look. Away.
At least I’m getting some cleaning done while the game’s on. When I’m not posting. :)
Toilets are fair game when your team is gunning for the post-season

Hey Johnny...
…where are all the Darsys folks? Did Eric find out how I voted in November? Thought a few of them would wander in…
What about Evan? He was/is here. As for everyone else… There aren’t a lot of people people posting over there right now. At least not regularly. There are a couple of newer people posting here and there.
All of this is true.
OT. Johnny — that damned tape drive disaster picture is pretty much the most popular one I’ve posted. I can’t win. :lol:
Slow days are slow days…that’s kewl. I know there are a select few that make the trip, so it’s been a success so far. Best of the best.

And if this club somehow against all odds makes the playoffs, both of our numbers are going to go bananas.

Its nice in Melbourne, didn’t bring the laptop into the living room for this game.
Think I’m developing potential playoff habits already.
I skipped the heavy drinking.
Just hoping I develop new ones than the ones I had when we made the Stanley Cup run – my car was plastered in Go Panthers banners and such, my girlfriend insisted we abstain the day before and the day of the game and my Skrudland jersey got a bit musty.
Ok back to the living room.
nah...maybe a 5th goal

Gonna say it right now
If the Panthers don’t win this, they don’t deserve a post-season berth. Period, the end.
Saves, shmaves. They’re not deserving of the spot when consistently surrendering leads.
