Litter Box Cats, a Florida Panthers community

"We're going to be there with them, we're going to be crying with them, we're going to be laughing with them. We are the biggest Panthers fans. We're the only crazy ones who would do this."

You have to wonder how much longer Alan Cohen will continue to own the Florida Panthers when Gary Bettman attends the Panthers' home opener and the owner doesn't. Apparently, Cohen was in Europe. He was there, as well, when his team opened the season with two games - and wasn't among the spectators. Maybe he missed the team bus.
