Women Who Shred coming to City Limits on May 16

Question: what’s hotter than female rock stars? The answer is obviously nothing. City Limits in Delray clearly knows this as they’ve just announced the Women Who Shred show on Saturday May 16th starring Jennifer Batten, who’s toured with the King of Pop and Jeff Beck, Vickie Genfan, Guitar Player Magazine’s…

Panthers on the Prowl

Trade talks have been heating up between Florida Panthers GM Jacques Martin and several teams throughout the league concerning stud defenseman Jay Bouwmeester. The Cats last summer reportedly offered Bouwmeester a multiyear deal worth more than $5 million per season, so Martin has every right to believe that the soon-to-be-free…

New Year, New Coach, New Attitude

It’s about time we give it up for Peter DeBoer. The rookie head coach wasn’t exactly a hot name around the NHL when the Florida Panthers hired him, and not many people expected him to be able to do much with a team missing its offensive leader and captain, Olli…

Go Green

The Big Orange isn’t known as a bicycle-friendly town. Mayor Manny Diaz is looking to change that — at least for this Sunday’s Bike Miami event. The good mayor and his city have closed Flagler Street from the courthouse to Bayfront Park, along with portions of South Miami Avenue, in…

Want to Be a Race Car Passenger?

Driving in South Florida is not fun by any stretch of the imagination. If you’re not stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic, you’re being cut off by a driver who insists on waiting until the exit is 15 feet away before leaving the passing lane. Rather than let road rage get the…

Live from the 305

There are tons of improv sketch comedy groups scattered across the nation, and most of them are filled with hacks who are more annoying than funny. The Groundlings are certainly not among that set. Based in Los Angeles and boasting alum such as Will Ferrell, Phil Hartman, Lisa Kudrow, and…

Curiouser and Curiouser

Let’s face it — there aren’t many reasons to see the Miami Heat right now. The games are meaningless, and without Wade, the prospects of playing spoiler to playoff bubble teams are slim to laughable. Tonight the New Orleans Hornets come to town, and we should all pay attention (as…

Who Needs a Coach Anyway?

Just when we think the Miami Heat’s season can’t get any worse, the AP reports Pat Riley might miss a game or two so he can scout during the NCAA Tournament. That makes perfect sense! The team is obviously being coached very well right now, so there’s no need for…

Let’s Not Cut Our Own Guys

The Florida Panthers, and more specifically Richard Zednik, survived a scare February 10. Zednik suffered a gash on his neck from Olli Jokinen’s skate blade when the team captain was checked and upended by Buffalo Sabres forward Clarke MacArthur. Zednik quickly skated to the bench, where trainers took over and…

Here We Go Again

In the vile cesspool that is South Florida sports, there stands a flotilla of hope we call the Florida Panthers. It’s hard to tell if head coach and GM Jacques Martin will be buying or selling as the free agent deadline approaches. On one hand, a run at the playoffs…

Fight for Your Right to Fight

It’s not easy to attend a good old-fashioned fistfight anymore. The heyday of boxing seems to have passed, replaced with various Cobra Kai graduates kicking, pulling, and wrestling each other into submission. About the only time you see two guys standing toe-to-toe throwing punches, they’re in a poorly lit bar,…

Panthers, Meet a Buzz Saw!

Ottawa Senators coach John Paddock has recently been tapped to coach the NHL Eastern Conference All-Star Team this year, but he’s already leading one right now: Daniel Alfredsson, Dany Heatley, and Jason Spezza are players that any team would kill to have. The Sens will roll into South Florida with…

Vokoun Can Stop an Avalanche

What better way to usher in a brand-new year than with a gut-check? The Colorado Avalanche (which has one of the best team names in hockey) descends on South Florida with visions of victory etched into its players’ minds. The Avs are perennial playoff contenders, and the additions of Ryan…

The Whiney One

There is no doubt the Pittsburgh Penguins’ third-year center, Sidney “The Kid” Crosby, has legendary skills. Often mentioned in the same breath as Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux, Crosby is one of the best passers in the game: He’s insanely fast, anticipates plays like a seasoned veteran, and has that…

Face It, There’s No Better Option

Finally! The Dolphins won their first game! Now that their pursuit of anti-perfection is over, it’s officially time for South Florida sports fans to get passionate about their Panthers. And there’s plenty to root for: The Cats have at least one bona fide superstar in Olli Jokinen, and they might…
