Litter Box Cats, a Florida Panthers community

Very cool outreach program by the club. And after the unfortunate loss of Rio Grand Valley as a Panthers minor-pro affiliate, perhaps the Central League will consider expansion to what may be the most non-traditional market yet.

From the Miami Herald's Barry Jackson: Panthers games were on WQAM from the team's inception in 1993 until 2007. The Panthers' three-year contract with The Ticket expired after this past season. Randy Moller will remain the team's radio announcer. On a similar note, the Sun-Sentinel is reporting a "major announcement" is to come from the club during Thursday's cookout at the BAC.

Wouldn't be The Colossus without a link like this. Here's the deal: Chef Ramsay remakes Anna Vincenzo's, a restaurant in Boca Raton.

Thanks to the offical site for the link.

Florida's Cory Stillman: "Once winter comes, every lake and pond turns into a rink. And when you hear that Hockey Night in Canada music start, you stop everything and gather around the TV with your family and friends." A great article from Michelle Kaufman.

From the Washington Post: [Panthers' radio voice Randy] Moller, who will call Friday's game against the Capitals in Washington, has turned his madcap, irreverent approach into broadcast legend in South Florida, where he has developed a following that rivals that of the players. All three "volumes" can be heard here.

...and Randy Moller's back! Sorry to see Victor and Jason get the (temporary) boot. They've done some great work for guys with very few NHL games under their collective belt.

From On Frozen Pond: Thankfully all is well. Moller is said to be resting up and doing fine. He was released from the hospital Sunday and is back at his home in Palm Beach County. Jiggs McDonald, a Hall of Fame broadcaster who once called Florida games on radio, will replace Moller in the booth for Monday's game at least. All our thoughts are with ya, Randy...
