July 14, 200620 yr Awesome. Weiss is a really nice guy and was in the midst of a really promising season until his wrist starting hurting. Also funny story. My dad and I were playing on this gaming website Pogo.com and we were playing the solitaire. And then someone asked us if we were Florida Panthers fans. Turned out to be Stephen Weiss's aunt. :lol
