I think it's more building availability. Also Florida has that big break in early November for the Europe road trip. Really wish that was later in the year.Do they do this because the snowbirds aren’t here yet? Are they afraid the building will be empty in October? They could start the season on a road trip but that could be a nightmare if they get off to a bad start.
That's a shame

Didn't we play a back to back against Chicago in 09? Or 08? In Finland or something like that?it absolutely happens every year. I can't remember the last time the Panthers played on the first two nights of the season.

The last real opening night game that I can remember, and I may be wrong on that one...
It is the monster first game of Todd Bertuzzi as a Panther. Amazing first showing, then it all went sour.
Pretty sure it was on NHL opening night that year !
The D pairs. See @ucanthanzalthetruth's post
Oh man, have fun bud! Hopefully Freeland will be pitching in the game you go to. Kid is a stud.
One of these days I'll make it to a game at Coors and one at the BB&T.

Just looked, we did open the season for the NHL in 2009 at Finland against Chicago Detroit played the 2nd game.

Only 82 games to go.
completely agree. and after really giving our roster a tougher look I don't think its even a playoff team. 9th place again. both columbus and philly are waaaaay better than us and some team will take 8th from us because we just have a terrible D core and the offense isn't even really all that great. and lu? who knows. doesn't look good to me. any injuries whatsoever and were 9th. just another year in a quarter century of bad rosters.We might be a playoff team but its hard to get excited about any cup aspiration when the defense is that shaky and bad compared to other teams. Hope those top two lines have a lot of chemistry. Until we get a legit defense will be a 7/8 team in the standings.

Didn't watch much of the preseason games but I thought there was some talk about Julian Melchiori maybe taking a spot up here. Was it that MacDonald just outplayed him or did he fade/struggle towards the end?
There is no way they're waaaaay better than us.completely agree. and after really giving our roster a tougher look I don't think its even a playoff team. 9th place again. both columbus and philly are waaaaay better than us and some team will take 8th from us because we just have a terrible D core and the offense isn't even really all that great. and lu? who knows. doesn't look good to me. any injuries whatsoever and were 9th. just another year in a quarter century of bad rosters.
