"The hard part of the game for me was the fact we gave [Florida] three free goals. For me that was really disappointing. We had clear possession of the puck three times in our D-zone with really not a lot of pressure and we served up three pizzas that ended up in our net.”
- Jets head coach Claude Noel via the Winnipeg Free Press

Why last night rocked:
- PHI over NJ, 4-1
- MTL over TOR, 3-1
- ANH over OTW, 2-1 (REG)
Why last night jonesed:
- TB over PHX, 4-3 (REG); doesn't really even count as a "jones"
Panthers Playoff Update:
-
FLA beat WPG 4-3 (SO); playoff odds up 8.5 to 76.8% per Sports Club Stats
Why today is a Big Deal in SoFla:
- WSH at PIT, 12:30; Caps have won 8 straight at Pens
- BOS at PHI, 3; Broons are 10-2 in last 12 in Philly
Next up for the Cats:
- Hosting Philadelphia Tuesday; the LBC Game Thread will be packing an iron at 7
Did you know:
- Flyers are 3-0 in last 3 at BAC; Cats scored two goals in each game

I got my money on Columbus pulling ahead. Mason has been horrible but I have some faith he’ll have a game or two like a few years ago still left in him

Columbus would be wise to play Mason if they want the #1 pick, Sanford has been much better.

I’m fine with it, based off of tweets from the start of the season between me and an edmonton player who shall remain nameless :]

(No, not the Coyotes, the Ducks. Coyotes need to as well, though.)
The Florida Panthers have become Chicago's retirement home. This is oddly fitting.

At some point, you have to assume that the kids get healthy out there for an entire season and the West gets flipped upside down as they rampage through the conference. But man, a Nail-RNH-Hall line would be some kind of legendary.
Also, you have to assume they get some defense, but I’m sure that’ll happen.
defense is deep in this years draft.. but then again their GM is horrible so we all know he won’t draft based on needs.. take nail.. keep Khabi in goal.. finish with the #1 overall again 4th straight year.
usually that kind of work gets one fired.
by Rob PKane McMahon on Jan 22, 2012 12:15 PM EST up reply actions
They won’t even have to worry about drafting defensemen at this rate. The way they’re going, they’ll have an excess of like 146 consecutive first overall picks (all of whom are forwards, duh) and they’ll just start trading those guys for the defensemen they need.
The price tag is too high. They’ve proven that each of the past 2 years when they had #1 overall and asked for a kings ransom + more for the pick to trade down one to two spots.
by Rob PKane McMahon on Jan 22, 2012 12:44 PM EST up reply actions
The one thing I don’t like about last night is the notion that people think the Panthers have ended their slump. I think winning more than 1 at a time would then warrant that. How about one of those fancy, new fangled winning streaks I’ve been hearing about? I heard even the Anaheim Ducks and New York Islanders are into them, they get ones that are 4 games long.

The Ducks are a GREAT team.. to imply that it’s crazy they would find a winning streak when we can’t is kind of insulting to their lineup. They started the season bad, big deal.. so did they Bruins, they just found it sooner.
btw, How would one win more than one at a time when theyre only capable of playing one at a time.
by Rob PKane McMahon on Jan 22, 2012 12:17 PM EST up reply actions
It is an insult to their lineup. They are supposed to be better. Especially compared to last year. It’s an insult to both lineups if you think about it.

I bet you they finish pushing for a playoff spot.
by Rob PKane McMahon on Jan 22, 2012 1:45 PM EST up reply actions
I really don’t care if the Ducks finish pushing. But they were a team playing bad and they found a way to get 4 game winning streak. Something the Panthers can’t seem to do. Don’t care how good the Ducks players are, they were sucking it this season earlier. Just the facts. Much like how the Panthers are sucking it now.

by National Mario on Jan 22, 2012 2:10 PM EST up reply actions
Yes, they sucked for quite a while.
They got the coach fired, then Boudreau couldn’t get them going for a while. If I must be honest, I doubt he even has anything to do with the winning streak, either. I think the team just woke up like they always do late in the season. Anaheim ALWAYS starts terribly, but make a miraculous push at the end. I think Selanne opening up on the work ethic of the team especially hit home.
Selanne isn’t going anywhere (Sorry, Winnipeg, but he LAUGHED at the idea of wanting to go back there), and he deserves at least one last shot at the Cup. I hope the team gives it to him.

And honestly?
If the Panthers made the finals against Anaheim?
I’d have a tough time rooting for Florida. Probably still would, but would not be disappointed at ALL even if they got swept again.

Only worse potential tv ratng draws involving the Panthers would be a series with Nashville or Phoenix. Maybe Stars, but they still have some nostalgic fans back north. If Florida is to become a popular team in the ratings, they’re gonna have to play Vancouver, Detroit, or Chicago in a Cup finals, and put a serious hurtin on them.

yeah, nice that they won but the Jets outplayed them.
by Todd Little on Jan 22, 2012 12:57 PM EST up reply actions
The old cliche, “they were tired” is B.S.! Come on, these guys are young, supposedly in shape by now, only have to “work” 82 nights a year for around 13-25 minutes. Get off that excuse. I will trade places with them any time, anyplace.
Just curious, have you ever played competitive hockey? I know when I played in rec leagues back in the 90’s, I was more tired after playing a game, than I was after running on a soccer field for 90 minutes in school. And I was in shape, as I rode a bicycle everywhere around North Broward/South Palm Beach. Hockey is a strenuous sport, and then you have other factors like travel and this being the sick time of the year. That affects you no matter your age.

I played 2 games a week and would be pretty banged up by the end of the season. Imagine 2 games in less than 24 hours.
I’m putting here for reflection later on in the season…. #14 Tomas [Fleischmann] is getting a 40G season. FLASH COUNT: 15G/19A

yes I did MR. IMPOTENT
yes, for over twenty years at a very high level. I played better when I was fatigued.
Rec leagues
Play multiple games, work, go home, and play at night. Love of the game overcomes fatigue. Work all week, travel to Orlando or St , Pete, play in tournaments, WIN, and be ready for work on Monday.
High School
Played in a 4 overtime thriller on Friday night, , played in next game at 11:00 a.m. next morning, and again at 7:00 p.m. same day.
do you want more examples .. Attend classes on Friday, ride a charter bus from Cincinnati to Missouri in a snowstorm, arrive 40 minutes before warm ups, go out and make 37 saves in a 6-5 win.
Lest I forget
Practiced with Cincinnati Stingers in a.m., practiced with Bearcats in afternoon for a week. Adrenalin overcame fatigue.
1979
Open tryouts for 1980 Olympic team, on ice twice a day for three days in Detroit. NOT TIRED
So essentially you’re telling the rest of us, you’re a superhuman. Nice to know that.

Does any one wonder what Bradley was thinking when he let Antropov walk right in a score the second goal. Should have put him on his butt. But, he just kept backing away and gave the guy a perfect shooting lane.
Thinking im too tired to hit anyone even though that’s what he was signed to do. I saw him play nastier when he was with the caps. He needs to find his game quick.

glad I drafted him

Let’s go malkin! There has to be one Russian leading in something this year since Ovechkin is in lala land

I’m sure I’ll get a lot of crap for this…
But when I see Semin make a defensive play stripping a Penguin of the puck the way he just did… I sort of wouldn’t mind seeing him do that for the cats.

He’s not worth 6 mil a year. Invisible Semin usually
by Hawkseye on Jan 22, 2012 1:26 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Ovechkin could get suspended for that hit. He left his feet and hit Michalek in the head as the primary point of contact.
not really.. he’s been non-existent.
