Longtime former Cap Matt Bradley has 5 points (2G...on 3 shots) in seven career games vs Washington
While [recent Florida] teams resembled AHL franchises with a few overachieving exceptions, the 2011-12 Panthers are an amalgamation of veteran leadership, grittiness and skill and the Caps realize that as they begin a stretch of three meetings with the Panthers in the next 16 days that could prove vital down the stretch.
"Most of the [new] guys know what it’s like to win and be successful. That’s why they’re doing well."
- Adam Vingan/Kings of Leonsis, with a quote courtesy of Washington defenseman Karl Alzner

Why last night rocked:
- BOS over OTW, 4-3 (REG); Seidenberg nets winner in third
Why last night jonesed:
- TB over WSH, 4-3 (OT); this one was a jones regardless of outcome
- WPG over PHI, 2-1 (SO); ...really Flyers?
- PIT over TOR, 5-4 (SO); Leafs surrender 4-1 lead
- NJ over NYR, 4-3 (SO); Kovalchuk: 1 PPG, GWG in SO
Panthers Playoff Update:
- FLA did not play; playoff odds down 2 to 73.5% per Sports Club Stats
Why tonight is a Big Deal in SoFla, beyond the obvious:
- NYR at BUF, 7:30 p.m.
- PIT at TOR, 7:30
Next up for the Cats:
- Tonight vs Washington; the LBC Game Thread is afraid Scraps will have to be shot at 7:30.
Did you know:
- Florida is 4-3-1 against the Capitals since 2010-11, with 19GF/21GA
Tuesday’s Organizational Transactions:
- None
Tuesday’s NHL Waiver Wire
- Cal O'Reilly (PHX) on reentry waivers
