Favell was so hot and cold. When he was hot, he was as good as anyone but man when he went cold it was just ugly

Taylor and Peeters had zero flexibility

In Taylors defense, a very serious knee injury in 72 really derailed his career. Prior to that he was very highly regarded

Berube was asked today after practice what Scott Hartnell brought to the team and whether he is missed by the club. Chief's response was blunt and then he softened it a bit so as not to come off as ripping Hartnell.

"I don't know if anything is missed. I mean. he's a good guy. He did a lot for the team and the organization. We all like him from outside the hockey rink to on the ice. He's a good player and good in the room. But people move on that's the way it is. I have nothing against Hartsy and he's a friend of mine," said Berube.

Last week, after Raffl got hurt and VandeVelde was briefly put on the Giroux line, Ron Hextall said, "In my opinion, even last year, Raffl was the best guy we had on that line to play with Giroux and Voracek."

Hextall sounds like a pretty smart guy.

I'd like to see the goalie's of today, play with pads, the same size Parent and other goalies of that era, played with.

its crazy to see the size difference in all of the equipment. the catching glove and blocker (or what we called it back then.....the waffle board) is crazy too. granted the sticks are much better now too but still.

I wonder if Bernie would have been as quick if he was dressed like the Michelin Man. Although I think he would have loved the bushel basket that they call a glove now.

8,000 is the Panthers fan base and when they play the Canada teams and Bos, Rangers, Philly, Pitts...they get the 16,000 and up crowds
