| The offense continues to struggle although newcomers Keith Ballard and Cory Stillman have produced more than most. |

| Seems like Jay Bouwmeester, who averaged 40 points the past three seasons, is just counting the days until he leaves Florida. Bouwmeester had 15 goals and 40 points last season, but only three assists now when the hurting Panthers need him to step up. |

| Four consecutive losses to backup goalies is not a good sign. Neither is being outscored 26-13 combined in second and third periods. |

| Blue line injuries are piling up, which helps explain why the goalies are seeing an average of 40 shots a night, but Florida's problem is its league-worst power play. |

| Getting their money's worth. Jay Bouwmeester could bolt after the season, but in the meantime, he's leading the league with more than 30 minutes of ice time per game. |

| Imagine what kind of numbers David Booth would put up if he could connect on the power play. Booth has three even strength goals so far after getting 21 of his 22 last season five-on-five. |

| Florida has revamped its blue line impressively, which might be enough to spark an offense that seems a bit thin on the surface. One thing for sure is the Panthers will be more entertaining under rookie coach Peter DeBoer. |

| The Panthers can take some satisfaction from ruining the season of bitter rival Carolina, but that won't help the organization get through what is shaping up as a long and volatile summer. |

| Shaq was long gone from Florida when he trashed the Heat, and Panthers coach and GM Jacques Martin sounded like he's expecting to follow after the team tanked and he threw captain Olli Jokinen and Stephen Weiss under the bus. |
