Puh-lease.

Cats at Habs, 2:00 pm, FSN-FL (no HD)

Panthers: 16-16-5  37P, 3rd in SE    Canadiens: 19-15-4  42P, 4th in NE

All-time: 25-24-6 (FLA...gettin' tight)

Game 3 of 4, 2-0 MTL (Last game: 5-2 Habs)

 Not much time to ponder a crushing victory in Pittsburgh on Saturday, nor patch up the scars on Brett McLean's sucker-punched face, as the Cats wind their way to Montreal for yet another afternoon match.

Caption Ryan O'Byrne: So. Many. Options.

The Habs are coming off a 4-1 loss against New Jersey, which broke the Canadiens' three-game winning streak. So in addition to the robo-elected Montreal All-Stars skating for the first time since the announcement, they're going to be a feisty bunch as well, looking to get in the win column quickly after a bad showing.

Just a quick update this morning, got a few things to do before the game.
