Sad Farewells

This is it hockey fan(s): the last regular season game for the Florida Panthers. It’s time to say goodbye to Jay Bouwmeester, as the likelihood of him resigning is about the same as Wayne Gretzky suiting up for the Panthers next season. Jacques Martin is probably on his way out...

This is it hockey fan(s): the last regular season game for the Florida Panthers. It’s time to say goodbye to Jay Bouwmeester, as the likelihood of him resigning is about the same as Wayne Gretzky suiting up for the Panthers next season. Jacques Martin is probably on his way out too, so you might want to shed a tear for him as well. And since the Cats' foe tonight is none other than the Washington Capitals, you can wish Alexander Ovechkin luck and watch as he embarrasses everyone else on the ice on his way to the playoffs. Of course, if by some miracle this becomes a meaningful game for the Panthers, disregard everything else you’ve just read and get your ass down to the BankAtlantic Center at 7 p.m. sharp.

So make that fateful trek out to the BAC at 1 Panther Pkwy. in Sunrise with $17 in hand to see the Panthers off to the long offseason of golfing and wishing they played in a different city. Visit ticketmaster.com, or call 954-835-7825 for discounted multi-game packages.
