WINTER CLASSIC ( RANGERS VS DEVILS)

Today was the Winter Classic's. The New York Rangers crushed the Devils with a 7-3 victory. Henrik Lunkqvist was great in today's game. On the other hand, The New Jersey Devils weren't so good, with a goalie change in the third period. But, on the bright side the Rangers showed great offense and defense. Mats Zuccarello scored 2 goals and the game winning goal. So, in conclusion the Rangers had a great victory.

SCOTTIE UPSHALL

Got to meet one of my favorite players, Scottie Upshall after Saturday night's game vs. The Avalanche. Even though the Panthers lost, I was soo happy to meet Scottie!

MEET AND GREET HOCKEY PLAYERS

I was lucky enough to be at a meet and greet at a local restaurant with a few of the Florida Panthers. It was so much fun! I was able to meet: Brian Campbell, Drew Shore and Jonathan Huberdeau and also former hockey player, Bill Lindsay.

They sat at a table and answered questions from the crowd that was seated under a tent. I was able to be standing right next to the table where the players were seated. The moderator was Bill Lindsay.

After they finished answering questions, they signed autographs. I was able to get some pucks autographed as well as my jersey. After they signed everyone's autograph, I waited "backstage" to say good-bye and take pictures with them. They were nice enough to take pictures with me!

CRAZY HOCKEY MOVES

HOCKEY FIGHTS

George Parros, is one of my favorite players. He use to be on the Florida Panthers and is now on the Canadiens. He is a perfect example of players who are always fighting.

Hockey fights are one of the most exciting things in a game. I think that fights are a big part of hockey, but sometimes they get a little out of hand. For example, George Parros recently got into a fight against the Toronto Maple Leafs. He was pushed down to the ice with no helmet on and from that fight, he got a concussion. On the Pittsburgh Penguins, Brooks Orpik's fight got so out of hand, he went unconscious. So I think fights are okay but not to let them get crazy and harmful.

That's my opinion on hockey fights.

HOCKEY IS MY LIFE

PANTHERS ON TV

Here is a picture of some of the Panthers on TV at an old Panther game as they walk back to the locker room. Kids stand there and love saying hello to all the players Sometimes, the players give us a puck and once I even got a broken stick from a player!

PANTHERS VS. ISLANDERS RECAP

Last night the Florida Panthers showed great offense in the first period. Alexsander Barkov, scoring his eighth career goal and Drew Shore scoring his first goal since April last season. Tim Thomas, Panthers starting goalie played a great game. The three stars last night were Tim Thomas, the third star with 31 saves, Nick Bjugstad, the second star, with one goal and Scottie Upshall, the first star with one goal and one assist.

On the other hand, the New York Islanders did not show up with their A game. Only scoring two goals. Goalie Kevin Poulin only saved 22 shots. The Islanders had ten penalty minutes and 32 face off wins. Overall,the game was exciting and a great win for the Florida Panthers.
