thats what they said the season they made the cup run. I’m not sure if this team has the heart to do it like the old panthers, but they look similiar..

They do not have enough to get in the playoffs, unless Keenan does some trades to bring scoring to the team.

Florida could be this years Calgary Flames. They’re fast, young and have a lot of heart. They have a great goalie and the additions of Roberts, Nieuwendyk and Gelinas really helps out the young roster to mature faster. Watch out for Florida!

Honestly I feel the Pathers could be the surprise team of 05/06. I mean when they made the finals they really didn’t have any superstars they were just well balanced team with depth veteren leadership, and an amazing goalie. They seem to have the same now.

This team will be the worst team in the league to watch, maybe aside from the devils. Doesnt matter what kind if rule changes, this team will be like watching grass grow.

Believe me, I know that Cairns isn’t a top four defender, but it’s not like the Panthers are especially deep on d, and that’s why I hesitantly put him there.

good article, though its keenan and martins first season (unless you count the lockout)...

I just finish reading at that martin is gonna play mezei with van ryn, which I'd agree with...

( http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/hockey/panthers/sfl-panthers27sep27,0,6044663.story?coll=sfla-sports-panthers )

Jay Bo Hill

Mezei Van Ryn

Carins Kwiatkowski

I don't see karpovtsev making it on the 3 d-lines...

... As far as the forwards I'd substitute stewart for Olesz. As much as I like Stewart's style and hope to see him playing with the club very soon, Olesz has been having a great camp and has been bumped up to a possible new-jokinen-olesz line. Keenan is very satisfied with this kid as well as Martin.

I see us second in the southeast division and upsetting a top seed atlantic division team.

I see Jay Bo having great point production being paired up with a vet like Hill. I see Van Ryn increasing his pp points this season. And I pray that huselius and hagman take advantage of the rule changes. Hagman has great speed and Huselius definitely has the skills, this is their chance.
