I'm sure all 258 fans down there are buzzing about it. ;)
Ha, one of my friends is actually a devout Panthers fan. She is quick to point out when I give her a hard time that the Preds have yet to win so much as a division title (I believe the Panthers can claim one). But I think that may be coming to an end, hopefully!

The Panthers went all the way to the Cup finals back in... '96? Before getting swept. This is definitely Nashville's year to prove themselves, but everyone knows the playoffs are a completely different beast.

Thank you Red Wings for beating the Sharks last night, after we got "Hammon'd" (with an assist by the refs) last night (and two straight in SoCal!) :P

Nashville vs. Minnesota in the first round would be interesting.

I agree KW. MN and Nashville have played close all season.

kitroplious, Pearson missed his 20th game, so you have until Saturday night to replace him with a reserve if you'd like.

Lots of transactions today. Especially curious about the MN acquisitions.

I just thought this stat comparison between Jagr and the rest of the Panthers was kind of funny:

Jagr also debuted in the NHL in 1990, three years before his current team was formed.

This is a pretty funny little fan contest: beset by injuries, the Panthers are inviting fans to tryout to be a practice backup goalie for a day.
