You might recognize the "Lighting the Lamp" feature from the Game Time paper. Rick Ackerman has been nice enough to send over his column for the website. "Lighting the Lamp" will be featured every home game day.
Lighting the Lamp with Rick Ackerman
Pity tonight's visiting Florida Panthers and their fans. Not that they have a lot of fans. They don't. The Panthers are second to last in NHL attendance, averaging slightly over 12,000, 71% capacity at the BB&T (Branch Banking & Trust) Center in suburban Sunrise, around 30 miles (roughly 45 minutes on the Florida Turnpike when traffic is light, which is almost never) from downtown Miami.
