<p><b> The Boston Bruins are in Florida to play the Panthers in a Flortheast Division tilt tonight at 7:30, covered by NESN: </b></p>

<ul>

<li> Yup, it's official... the Florida Panthers have confirmed Tim Thomas will be in net tonight. [<A href="http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2013/10/16/tim-thomas-start-net-against-bruins/rq4F0ZDIit9JR3W5FyQPqL/story.html">TheBostonGlobe</a>]</li>

<li> Of course, Thomas is not the only Panther with Boston ties... Kris Versteeg and Brad Boyes are also former Bruins. [<a href="http://causewaycrowd.com/2013/10/16/bruins-set-face-multiple-players-boston-ties-florida/">CausewayCrowd</a>]</li>

<li> Tuukka Rask steadfastly continues to wish Thomas well, joking that "maybe we'll fight or something..." [<a href="http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2013/10/16/tim-thomas-start-net-against-bruins/rq4F0ZDIit9JR3W5FyQPqL/story.html">NHL</a>]</li>

<li> Heck, Tim Thomas has thrown down with friends before, ask Carey Price! (Video, 3:11) [<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=251___mEwZA">YouTube</a>]</li>

<li> Reilly Smith's reunion with Loui Eriksson on Patrice Bergeron's line has been fruitful, although there is room for improvement. [<a href="http://bigbadblog.weei.com/sports/boston/hockey/bruins/2013/10/16/reilly-smith-making-quick-progress-with-bruins/">WEEI</a>]</li>

<li> Curb your enthusiasm, the Bruins' power play that seemed to be coming around has circled backward again. Carl Soderberg has travelled to Florida with the team, but isn't ready to play yet.

<li> Maybe we're mistaken about Corsi- is it overrated as a predictor? [<a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/2013/10/16/4842102/nhl-stats-corsi-predictive-value-shot-quality">SBNation</a>]</li>

<li> Here's a chance to get to know ESPN's John Buccigross, whose roots are in Boston and with the Bruins, and whose sister may or may not forgive him for an injury suffered playing kitchen floor hockey before Sunday Mass.

<li> Patrick Burke spoke about his struggles with depression, and how his brother Brendan's experience coming out actually helped. [<a href="http://www.thehockeynews.com/blog/exclusive-patrick-burkes-battle-with-depression/">TheHockeyNews</a>]</li>

<li> Scott Hartnell shows surprising (and apparently unwanted) talent as he spoofs bad athlete car commercials. "Can we try a better wig on him?" OUCH! [<a href="http://msn.foxsports.com/nhl/story/philadelphia-flyers-scott-hartnell-parodies-local-tv-ads-video-spoof-101413">MSN.FoxSports</a>]</li>

<li> The Maple Leafs continue to invite ridicule. Please DO just stop. [<a href="http://www.thestar.com/sports/leafs/2013/10/16/maple_leafs_choose_miley_cyruss_we_cant_stop_as_victory_song.html">TheStar</a>]</li>
