Q: Hey George, first off Happy 4th!!! I need to ask , is there any reason why I should keep my season tickets to the Florida Panthers? Our defense is weaker, offense isn't much better and I feel like we will make it a solid 10 years without playoffs.Ownership is a joke,management is worse and every team around us has gotten better. Do you have any exciting inside news that would want me to remain a STH?

Q: George, I feel "Duds" received a raw deal in his last stay here. In my opinion he would be a excellent hire. What's your take on "Duds" ?

Q: hey george - love your work heard that the sale to SPAC might have fallen through (Strachan though so I haven't put too much faith in that) just wondering if there were any updates also wanted to say I thought it was a cheap shot when you said 'guess Ballsillie doesn't care about the hockey fans in Phoenix' or something along those lines - did the Phoenix fans care about the Winnipeg fans when the Jets moved originally?

Q: with the panthers possibly losing bouwmeester. or in my mind most definetly. they were said to offer him somewhere between 6 and 7 million a year. do you think they turn it around and try and sign a big priced foward? say a marian hossa/havlat/camalleri? and do you have any ideas of what possible free agents they will be inquiring about?

Q: Howdy George. I read your article about Zednik not winning the Masterson award. I don't care what anyone says, Richard should have won it. I know Steve Sullivan made an amazing comeback, but a bad back doesnt compare in my books to almost DYING. I'll never forget that night as I watched it on TV. Scared the hell outta me. Anyway, on another note, I really wish Jay would have let the team know earlier that he didn't want to be here. Why all the mystery? I mean what did it accomplish for him? Was he trying to intentionally screw the team? Anyway, do you think we can get anything of value for him now that everyone knows he'll be free in a couple of weeks?

Q: Watching the playoffs, everyone seemed to concede the game's best two players are Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby. Personally, I think Evgeni Malkin is more well-rounded than both, as he offers almost as much offensively and much more defensively. Your thoughts?

Q: Hi George: I've been impressed with the job Randy Sexton has been doing since filling in for JM. I think he made the most of the Bo situation and the draft and the FA's he picked up/resigned were resourceful as well especially considering the ownership situation. I don't think Mr. Torrey will make hime the GM, but I hope he will stay on with the organization and not get snatched up by another team. I'd be anxious to hear your take on the job he's done filling in and his future with the franchise. Thanks.

Q: Wow, and you thought this was going to be another boring offseason for the Panthers. I don't know if the news of the impending sale of the team is good or not. What are your thoughts? Is this a good thing or yet another bad thing for a franchise that can't afford anymore bad things happening to it?

Q: Well let's compare George.....Since the end of the season go through the personnel that have left or been jetisoned or will be gone when the season starts again....Martin, Zednik, Peltonen, Potvin, Boyton, JayBow, Mclean(can't see them keeping him). And there are probably more that I've missed. Now, who have we added? And why would anyone want to come here? I know I sound negative, but how many times can we go through getting our hearts ripped out and crushed before we either don't believe anymore, or worse, don't care?

Q: George, Boynton will probably not be back,but I feel he was a good addition to the defense with his grit. Will coach Pete over look there differences? What about Bryan Allen can he still play ?
