Tweet The Florida Panthers scored the games first goal 39 times last season, but
had just 18 wins to show for it. Andre Johnson Jersey . Advantage Margin: +22
Surprisingly for a team that finished so low in the standings, the Panthers had
more power plays than their opponents—16 more at home and six on the road.
Special Teams Goal Margin: 16 The penalty killers werent great (79.4 percent,
23rd in the NHL), but the power play really struggled. The Panthers finished
29th at 14.2 percent and were last on the road with a 10.7 percentage, and
second-worst with 16 power-play goals. Goals by defensemen: 35 Nearly half of
those goals, however, are gone with the departures of Keith Ballard in June and
Jordan Leopold and Dennis Seidenberg last March. Dennis Wideman (6 goals last
season, 13 each of the previous two) should take up some of the slack. Florida

Ga. – Augusta National will be ready for the Masters, despite a major storm that
dumped 1.4 inches of rain on the course, washed out bunkers, toppled trees and
even knocked out a bathroom. The course opened about a half-hour late for
practice rounds Wednesday and conditions remained extremely wet. But crews were
working around the clock, and chairman Billy Payne said he expected the course
to be back in “competitive condition” in time for Thursdays first round.
“Clearly the golf course will not be as firm and fast as it would otherwise be,”
said Fred Ridley, chairman of the Masters competition committee. “We are very
confident that we will have comparable tournament-speed greens.” Admittedly we
wont have the firmness, but we think that we have looked at a setup that takes
all of that into consideration, as we always do with weather considerations, and
we think its going to be a good setup for tomorrow.” According to the forecast,
showers and thunderstorms are likely Thursday, especially during the afternoon
and evening, with more rain possible Friday morning. No rain is in the weekend
forecast. The course was already soft before Tuesday nights storm,, and chairman
Billy Payne was asked if there was a possibility of invoking the lift, clean and
place rule, only used under the most dire of circumstances at the majors. Arian Foster Jersey. Augusta National
officials said they could not recall a time the rule has been used at the
Masters. “We surely would not want to have to do that. That would be a decision
very difficult to make,” Payne said. “However, we are also bright enough to know
that weather conditions can have an impact on that, and possibly cause us to
change our minds on that issue.” The storm that moved through Tuesday night
caused Raes Creek to flood, but Payne said it occurred below Hogans Bridge,
which leads to the 12th green, and didnt affect conditions. None of the trees
that fell will affect play, either, Payne said, though one did hit a restroom on
the 16th hole and caused significant damage. “We hope to have it rebuilt and up
and running by the end of the day,” Payne said. Weather has already given this
years Masters a new look. Hotter-than-normal spring temperatures have caused the
azaleas, which give Augusta National its signature brilliant colours, to lose
their red and pink blooms. ’ ’ ’
