Panthers vs Stars coverage Defending Big D Panthers vs Stars preview

Only hockey contains irony of this sort: Stars benchboss Marc Crawford (above) will coach his 1,000th NHL game tonight. I'm sure I speak for all Panthers fans - past and future - when I send our most sincere congratulations to a man who commands unstinting loyalty and has succeeded professionally at the highest level (...too soon?).

Take a peek at Defending Big D and see what the hosts may have in store for your Cats. Thanks for stopping by.
