BOSTON, MA - MAY 06: Kris Versteeg #10 of the Philadelphia Flyers gets a shot past Tim Thomas #30 of the Boston Bruins in Game Four of the Eastern Conference Semifinals during the 2011 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs at TD Garden on May 6, 2011 in Boston, Massachusetts. (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)
"I got along great with the coach, and the [Flyers] organization, and they asked me what I thought I was capable of doing. They told me I'd be in their plans. This was at the year-end meeting. Two months later, I was traded."

Why last night rocked:
Man...where to begin?
- BOS over WPG, 5-3; just 5?
- PHI over CAR, 2-1 (REG); come to think of it, almost rather the Canes took this one
- VAN over TB, 5-4 (SO); 8 different scorers in regulation
- STL over MTL, 3-0; Halak stumps Habs in heralded return to Montreal
- CGY over NJ, 6-3; Mr. One-Line-Team checked in with a minus-2
Why last night jonesed:
- NYR over PHX, 2-1 (SO)
Flip a coin:
- TOR over BUF, 2-0
- OTW over PIT, 5-1
- NYI over DET, 5-1(!)
Why tonight is a Big Deal in SoFla:
- PIT at WSH, 7:30 p.m.; Pens are 8-3-1-1 in D.C. since the lockout
- NJ at EDM, 9; Devils are 10-10-5-0-0 all-time at Rexall/Northlands, though Lou's Crew is 6-1 over last 7
Next up for the Cats:
Friday. At home. Against Pittsburgh. Now is a time of great decision - Are we to stay or up and quit? - There's no avoiding this conclusion - Our town is turning into…the LBC Game Thread, 7 p.m.
Playoff Update:
Did not play, playoff odds up 1.9 to 83.3% (Sports Club Stats)
Did you know:
Tomas Fleischmann is 7-5-12 (with 2 winners) in 15 games vs. the Pens
On the table:
Despite a recent rough stretch, Rampage fans have reason to look ahead to Saturday night...Theo may return soon, but in case the injuries in net don't settle out down the stretch, an option does exist...speaking of goaltenders, good ones are evidently a pretty big wheel down at the cracker factory...our longtime pal FrankD will be stepping aside from editorial duties at PensBurgh; our very best of luck to him - one of the pioneers in SB Nation's hockey network - down the road...just how bad is the situation in Columbus?...Surgery? What surgery? Alien is all smiles.
