SUNRISE — There’s something uniquely gripping about the manner Paul Maurice discusses Florida Panthers playoff games. He stomped the length of the bench in the second period of Tuesday’s Game 5, snorting and ranting to his players about their mysterious lack of energy to the point you expected cartoon smoke to blow from his ears. He was properly mad, too, because of all the reasons you don’t expect to lose this time of year, the biggest remains this: They weren’t ready. How could the Florida Panthers not be ready to go? You spend a season to reach nights like this. How could they not be emotionally and desperately ready to bring their best game, finish off Boston,  advance to the Eastern Conference Finals, stave off any potential surprise and even gain a few days of valued rest? “I didn’t like our game,’’ Maurice said after the 2-1 loss that pushed the series to Boston for Friday’s Game 6. He was then asked about his blow-out anger behind the bench.

Dear Amy: A wedding dilemma: My sister recently had a small wedding, and all of our family members were involved and pitched in. I planned and paid for her shower, our mother made a beautiful wedding cake, and our uncle officiated (he is a pastor). Additionally, we all gave them shower gifts and wedding gifts, including gifts of cash to be put toward their honeymoon (they had asked for this). My sister and her new husband just sent an email to our immediate family, more or less berating us for not giving them more — or larger — gifts. We are pretty shocked and don’t know how to react.

The city of Margate, which has long planned to create a bustling downtown, is dreaming even bigger about the possibilities. It’s starting anew with plans to create a destination that draws people to converge on the city — to eat, shop and play there. And some visitors may like it so much, they decide to move there, enticed by the many new apartments that’d be built there. Carline Jean/Sun SentinelMargate will seek a new developer for its downtown vision.

Internment camps during war have a very bad reputation, conjuring images of suffering Jews in Poland or of Japanese-Americans in California in World War II. However, Israel might consider establishing humanitarian refugee camps to which Gaza citizens could flee, voluntarily and temporarily, to escape the death and famine they inevitably face in Gaza.
