The defending champion Florida Panthers are 3-4-0 as of today’s post, and together with a raft of injuries that have afflicted the team since the start of the season, that poor start seems to be giving at least one of their stars fits.

Today’s header image shows Brad Marchand being restrained after a fight with Buffalo defender Rasmus Dahlin during the Sabres’ 3-0 shutout of the Panthers last Saturday. Note that Marchand is holding Dahlin’s helmet in this photo. He then carried the helmet to the penalty box, where he tore the straps off of it and threw the remains onto the ice, like the consummate professional he is. Let’s all try to be a bit better behaved at our various workplaces this week.

The regular-season hockey threads won’t be pinned, so you might want to keep this open in a separate tab if you’d like to keep an eye on it until the next one goes up. (Considering how fast unpinned posts slide down the home page, I’ll probably be slapping up a new one of these every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday as long as I remember to do so.) Otherwise, you can always find these under the Sports > Hockey menu at the top of the home page.

Have fun and happy hockey!
