Also known in steadily decreasing amounts around the interwebs as "Whale4ever", I'm the founder and managing editor of LitterBoxCats.com - SB Nation's home for the Florida Panthers since 2008. Been a NE/HFD Whalers fan stretching back to 1978, followed by several stops in South Florida thanks to an inherited status as a proud "Pratt Baby" (you know who you are), leading to a longtime love for the Cats which reaches to their birth in early 1993.

I didn't start off the way I wanted to. You can't hide under a pillow and you sure can't hide on the ice. You just have to grab the bull by the horns and work hard, make it work. Hard work does pay off. And we're playing very well. I'm happy for the opportunity.

HF: "Top prospects for Florida Panthers starting to make an impact in the NHL"
"Perhaps the most unexpected aspect of Huberdeau's play in the NHL has been his effectiveness in the corners and in high-traffic areas. His abilities in open ice situations, where his skills and vision have time to bloom, have always been evident, but his play around the net has been better than expected. He is simply a NHL star in the making and one of the top candidates for this season's Calder Trophy." - More from HF's Brian Fogarty above.

CHN: Panthers prospect Bjugstad "more than a scorer"
From College Hockey News: "In a time where many top picks that choose the college route spend one or two years on campus, the expectation is that a player with the size, skating ability and skill of Bjugstad will leave. Instead, he decided to return to the Gophers for one more season and in the process raised expectations for both the team and himself. Whether those expectations were fair can be debated. For many, however, anything short of Bjugstad, who scored 25 goals as a sophomore, dominating college hockey and leading Minnesota to a national title would be a disappointment." More from our pal Nathan Wells on Florida's 2010 first-rounder above.
