Only 4 Days Until Halloween

- Just how useless is Marian Gaborik? I've already had to kill him on the Fantasy Hockey and replace him with the ghost of Milan Hejduk.

- The Ottawa Senators are as frustrated as us. Harrumph.

- Meanwhile, Puck Daddy is hosting a fine contest for all you fans of the Hockey: Come up with 10 reasons that the Florida Panthers are actually pretty cool.

Pavel Bure. Scott Mellanby one-timing a rat. What else? The Panthers organization is going to give you absurd prizes for your trouble, IF your list is good enough. The absurd prizes?

• Four tickets to the snazzy ADT Club at BankAtlantic Center for the Panthers' Friday, Nov. 14 game against the Stanley Cup champion Detroit Red Wings.

• Free food and drinks all night. (The Panthers clearly underestimate our readers' thirst.)

• A Florida Panthers prize pack, with swag like hats and shirts delivered to the winner's seat by mascot Stanley C. Panther and ... wait for it ... Panthers Ice Dancers.

Ah, Stanley C. Panther. The most lovably goofy of NHL mascots. He has the non-threatening cuteness of Carlton the Polar Bear and the gravitas of Sabreto--wait, ice dancers?

4 days to Halloween.
