“We’ve been a very good team in the regular season the last two years,” said Grier. “But we’ve had our bumps and hit the wall in the playoffs, for some reason.

“We have playoff experience and now we’ve got some guys who have won Stanley Cups. Now maybe a little fresher approach or a different approach will help us get over the hump.”

-Mike Grier of the San Jose Sharks.  Read more from Grier and many NHL topics from Fluto Shinzawa of the Boston Globe.

When Bryan McCabe goes to Florida, assuming his regression ends there, he joins a defence that includes emerging star, Jay Bouwmeester, and solid veterans Keith Ballard and Nick Boynton. The Panthers could be a playoff team in the East

-Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun.

Brendan Shanahan, who is still hunting for NHL employment, leads all active players with 1,490 games played.

Wow Steve Simmons a Canadian sports writer that actually makes sense. Cory Stillman may not replace Jokinen’s goals but Jokinen was far from the best player on the team last year. Too many media types write off the Panthers because they got rid of Jokinen. Panthers are a much better team this year and will surprise many, except Steve Simmons. Good for him.
