I think Bergenheim is going to be a key asset for us this season. His game really picked up during the playoffs and it’d be great if that transitions over to the regular season. He’s another character guy which fits right into the blueprint.
Florida Panthers, Good Hockey, Great Sponsors!! Panthers STH since 1994 and Lightning STH since 2011.
Love some of the nicknames theyre throwing around for Olesz. Oleczocinco Oleszochocinco Olchocinco.
They’ll revert back to Rusty once he does something stupid.

What about a combination of Rusty and Bust, and just call him Busty?

Check out the comments at the bottom of the Sopel article.. Leaf and Canadien fans bashing eachother lol I love it.. Goes to show you that their arguement about how hockey doesn’t belong in the south is invalid.. I mean they don’t even believe eachother should have a team afterall..

Vokoun dumps agent
Kinda surprised no one mentioned this after how things went down this summer. Lambert had it posted in his daily musings a few days back, that Vokoun’s former agent tweeted he had gotten dumped for someone new.
