From the Sun-Sentinel:

“We know when we play the way we’re capable of (playing) we’re going to have success against any team. That’s the one comforting feeling, but at the same time you have to be urgent this time of year because we’ve given away lots of points the past four games”

Could AndyTime be upon us? Coach Pete has often referred to going with the hot hand, and though T-Vo’s not performed poorly by any stretch, the club is simply underwhelming in front of him right now.

Two doods who rode the DeBoer Express straight to the bench on Tuesday, Anthony Stewart (13) and The Beach (44) have had a difficult stretch of late.

THE WARMUP


Highlights from February 10th, 2009 in Sunrise. Haven’t been many recently.

If the Panthers drop this one (making them winless in five), are they cooked regarding entry to the Stanley Cup playoffs in April?

Yes…something serious is troubling this team and time is too short 5
No…anything can happen when so many clubs are connected by so few points 3
