Bryan McCabe remembers his first NHL game with pure clarity.<p/> ``It was Boston in Boston,'' the Panthers defenseman said Thursday, recalling his debut on Oct. 7, 1995. ``I remember being across from Ray Bourque and my legs were shaking during the anthem.

The Toronto Maple Leafs continue on their winless streak after losing yesterdays game to the Vancouver Canucks and setting the all time team mark for worst start in franchise history.

For the first time since Olli Jokinen was traded in the summer of 2008, the Florida Panthers have a captain.<p/> A few hours before the team's lone home game of the preseason, coach Pete DeBoer ended the speculation of who would wear the ``C'' by announcing it would be defenseman Bryan McCabe.
One of my expressed goals for the summer was coming up with a way to determine the value of defensive defenseman. It hasn't gone all that well. A result of this endeavor, however, was the realization that NHL GM's pay entirely too much for offense from the blueline.
