A difficult opening month for the Florida Panthers will be offset by 11 of 14 home games in the final full month of play in March. The season opener is held on Thursday October 4th in Madison Square Garden to take on the defensively challenged Rangers before coming home to play at BAC on Oct. 6th against the New Devils. I will have a fantastic birthday present in watching the Panthers rip apart the Flames on Dec. 11th The longest road stretch for this year's Cats is a five gamer to Tampa Bay, Toronto, Ottawa, Boston and Buffalo over a 9 day stretch. The longest home stand is 7 games and 9 of ten in the month of March. They also play on back-to-back nights 12 times, with only two coming after the all-star break. The Panthers also get four 3 day breaks in 2007 plus a 4 day break for Christmas but only get one extended break in 2008 with the All-Star break in February.
Marque match ups:
Home and Home against Tampa. Nov 7th and 9th.
Calgary visits Florida Dec 11th
Home and Home against Pitt. Jan 5th and 8th.
Colorado visits Florida Jan 13th
Most Important Stretches:
Nov. 3rd to Nov. 19th- 9 straight games against Division opponents playing every rival at least twice.
March 6th to the 29th- 9 out of 10 games at home to dwindle down the season.
March 16th to April 5th- another stretch of 9 straight against divisional opponents, including the home finale against the Capitals on the 29th and the season finale also against the Caps on April 5th
and even though I voted for Sziro Jewelers, I still had to post this.
