Panthers #1 Line Could Be Around A Long Time

Found September 20, 2009 on Kuklas Korner:
PLAYERS: Stephen Weiss,  David Booth,  Nathan Horton
TEAMS: Florida Panthers

from Steve Gorten of the Sun-Sentinel via the Santa Barbara News-Press, They were the young trio of forwards Florida Panthers fans fell in love with during the 2007-08 season, so much so that the team had a contest to name their line. Center Stephen Weiss and wingers David Booth and Nathan Horton became known as the ‘’Sunrise Express,’’ a nickname not so loved by Weiss, but, he joked, ‘’It’s better than people calling us the three bums.’’ Not likely. From the moment they got together, they were the team’s best line. Before last season started, though, the line was broken up. Horton was moved to center on another line out of necessity, and while Weiss and Booth still achieved success, their line lacked the chemistry it had with Horton. Now the Sunrise Express is back together, and there’s a chance the Panthers will finally have a stable, cohesive No. 1 line for an extended period of time. Booth, 24, signed a six-year deal in July. Weiss, 26, and Horton, 24, did the same two summers ago. continued
