Dan Spiegel: Versteeg, Panthers Are Snakebit
If Kris Versteeg's right knee could talk, it would say what Panther fans already know. This team and shortened season are snakebit in ways that are unprecedented, even for this usually-futile franchise. Versteeg was just getting his legs back under him after missing almost a month with a chest injury suffered from a cheap hit by Alex Ovechkin. This time, Versteeg was caught...
Panthers May Have Players Available For Trade
from Pierre LeBrun of ESPN,
The injury-savaged Florida Panthers have to start thinking about next season. Two veteran forwards the Panthers will listen to offers for before April 3 are Kris Versteeg and Tomas Fleischmann.
I don’t think the Panthers are going to shop them, but if other teams call on them, they’ll listen.
Neither player, though, is a rental.
Fleischmann...
Alexander Ovechkin “fights” Kris Versteeg
Florida Panthers forward Kris Versteeg knocked Alexander Ovechkin down with a cross-check away from the play while he didn’t have the puck; the Washington Capitals forward took exception to this and went after Versteeg. No real punches were thrown and Ovechkin just tried to pull Versteeg’s jersey and shoulder pads over his head. Even the referees didn’t think it was much...
Panthers Were Close To Getting Healthy
from Harvey Fialkov of the Sun Sentinel,
Just when it seems the Panthers were getting healthy this week with the returns of forward Kris Versteeg on Tuesday and Marcel Goc on Thursday, they lost forward Scottie Upshall for at least a month with an injured ankle sustained during a fight with former teamates James White in last night’s wild third period.
Upshall was on crutches...
Panthers net 5 goals in 3rd to beat Jets
SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) -- Alex Kovalev scored the go-ahead goal during Florida's five-goal outburst in the third period, helping the Panthers rally for a 6-3 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night.

Versteeg Only Part Of The Panthers Puzzle
from Harvey Fialkov of the SunSentinel,
While the Panthers are tied for last in goals scored with eight, the Lightning are first with 24 goals. Their star-studded trio of Martin St Louis, Steven Stamkos and Vincent Lecavalier have a combined eight goals and 27 points. Florida's injury-riddled top line of Stephen Weiss, Tomas Fleischmann and Kris Versteeg have one...
Panthers hope to re-engage fans after lockout
CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. As Thursday mornings informal skate by Florida Panthers players concluded, free agent Alexei Kovalev stepped off the ice to give his stick to a female fan in a wheelchair.It was a nice gesture that rewarded one Panthers fan for returning to support her favorite team immediately after the NHL lockout.
I was disappointed in the lockout, even mad at times, but I...
Richard Cloutier: Things Are Getting Moronic. Good!
A few days ago Red Wings defenseman Ian White called Gary Bettman an "idiot". Gasps heard everywhere, but that's nothin'. Try this comment on for size:
Kris Versteeg to TSN 1050 Radio today: "Bettman and Daly are 'cancers' that have been looting this game for far too long".

Dan Spiegel: Who Wants A Lockout? We do! We do!
Thank goodness for the lockout. At least the Panthers will have time to heal. Kris Versteeg said in New York he was two months away from skating after offseason hip surgery, and with Erik Gudbranson's shoulder injury that will have him sidelined into January, a lockout doesn't seem so bad. But who am I kidding?
I know it may seem inconceivable to many who are Hockeybuzz...

Dan Spiegel: Storm Brewing With Arbitration-Bound Versteeg?
Since Dale Tallon traded for Kris Versteeg last summer, word has always been he loves playing in South Florida and wants to be a Panther indefinitely. Apparently, he and GM Dale Tallon are at odds about his worth. Versteeg is one of 14 NHL players who filed for salary arbitration.
Versteeg was a vital piece of the Panthers winning their first division title in franchise history...

Division title, playoff run make Panthers hopeful
It was the wee hours of Friday morning when Kris Versteeg walked a few steps over to Stephen Weiss' locker in the Florida Panthers dressing room and shook his teammate's hand.
''Great season,'' they said to one another.
Even after a Game 7 overtime loss sent them into summer, few would argue.

Dirty or not, it's still a goal
By Bill WhiteheadSUNRISE, Fla. -- After the last rat had been hurled to the ice at BankAtlantic Center following Florida's 3-0 win over New Jersey on Saturday -- one vermin even parachuted safely to the ice with a soft landing -- the question was asked: What's a "dirty goal"?Kris Versteeg's power-play goal off a pass from Stephen Weiss in the second period was...
