The Florida Panthers got their second straight day off today, although they were obligated to participate in the annual golf tournament.
Don't know what happens to a player who doesn't show up, or what happens if say two players decide they don't want to be there anymore and leave after one hole to check out some different sights. As far as I know, everyone stuck around this time. And that's good.
-- As you probably have already read, Gregory Campbell was honored as the NHL's Third Star of the Week. Probably could have given that to either Radek Dvorak or Ville Peltonen. All three were phenomenal last week. Congrats to Soup. I'll have more on the CPR Trio tomorrow.
-- Also, Cory Murphy was recalled from Rochester today, but he may not want to unpack. The Panthers put him on waivers, so if he clears -- like he did at the start of the season -- he may just be headed back. Murphy has a one-way deal so he'll get his NHL money even if he's in Rochester.
Way back when, he said he would go to Rochester if the Panthers wanted him to.
Murph had two goals and four assists in five games with the Amerks on his two-week conditioning stint that was just completed last night.
-- Amerks have won four of five, now have 13 wins. Still the fewest points in the Federal League.
Was it Caddie Day(Media) at Bushwood? Or did you have to hang out and wait!
Nanananananananana!

Congrats to Gregory Campbell. As someone who watches from afar, the paid seats and TV, he seems like one of the hardest working players. Nice to see it payoff. The whole line has really clicked. Seems like the secondary scoring is coming from the other lines, the primary scoring from the aptly named CPR which put the life back into the team.

GR can you get us something on Bouw's contract status.... JM keeps such a low profile... we never know what's going on.

Skyline is better than Gold Star. I am also partial to Dixie Chili.

That might be true, Happy girl, but either is fairly disgusting. Folks from Cincy sure love the stuff, but us folks here in Dayton think it's gruel.
