Meet your newest Panthers : Scott Clemmensen, G
Scott Clemmensen, 31 years old. United States. Catches: Left.
Drafted by New Jersey: 8th round, 215th overall, 1997. Acquired by Florida as a free agent, July 2009.Career Notes: NCAA National Championship, 2001. New Jersey Devils "Unsung Hero Award" winner, 2009.
International Participation: World Championships, 2009.
John continues with some background on "Clemmer":
"Scott Clemmmensen is a success story. After leaving the Devils organization after being the back-up for Martin Brodeur or a starting goaltender with the AHL affiliate since 2000, he signed up in Toronto for the 2007-08 season. He got shelled in the few games he played with the Maple Leafs and then was sent to the minors. At age 31, he re-signed with the Devils understanding the situation that he could end up starting in Lowell. And with Kevin Weekes already signed, he did just that. However, horror struck and Martin Brodeur would be injured for months. Weekes was expected to step in, but Brent Sutter gave both goalies a chance, and Clemmensen won the job. Unlike Toronto, Clemmensen proved that he was up to the task. He ended up playing 40 games with the Devils, putting together a 25-13-1 record with 2 shutouts, a 91.7% save percentage, a 2.31 goals against average before Brodeur returned, and the thanks of Devils fans across the board."

I was completely sold on Scotty being “Clemmy”…guess I’ll get used to “Clemmer”.

Clemmer is the man. He’s a competitive guy, and I can’t wait to see him impress PDB when he finally gets some ice time.

I heartily welcome our new Clemmer overlord. BTW, don’t know where else to ask this. What would be a good name for a fictitious SoFla hockey team? I have to beat Deirdre Martin at her own game. Thanks all.

Hmm. The old standby is “Humidity”, as in “The Heat’s bad, but the Humidity is worse”.
Yes that got old twenty years ago.

Well I forgive ya. It’s a better response than what I got elsewhere- “But the Panthers are a fictitious SoFl hockey team”. Ahhaha. Cute.

Is Miami Ice corny? Ilive Everblades but that is verboten.

“Everblades” is pure brilliance.
This will be the only instance where I use the word “brilliance” in describing anything even remotely associated with the Carolina Hurricanes organization.
That is all.

You could go all back-to-the-future with THIS…

I do like that but I wonder if I could use it since they actually existed. But probably ever name anyone comes up with has. Deirdre Martin uses New York Blades.
