"It was funny how we dominated early and that was probably the worst thing because maybe we thought it was going to be easy."

Why Saturday rocked:
- PIT over WPG, 8-5; Jets after 31 road games: 67GF, 102GA
- NYR over PHI, 5-2; Flyers: 8 goals scored in last four games (1-2-1)
- MTL over TOR, 5-0; Leafs' tenders faced 18 shots. Total.
- EDM over OTW, 4-3 (OT); falls under "rocks" category due to host Sens' failure to hold two leads
Why Saturday jonesed:
- No actual joneses to be found. A good day.
Panthers Playoff Update:
-
FLA defeated New Jersey 3-1; playoff odds up 10 to 83.1% per Sports Club Stats
Why today is a Big Deal in SoFla, beyond the obvious:
- WSH at NYR, 12:30 p.m. (NBC); no introduction needed here
- TB at PIT, 7; after pulling for Pens a day ago, we're all about the Bolts now
- PHI at DET, 7:30 (NBC-SN); Flyers are 2-14 at Joe Louis Arena since 1990
Next up for the Cats:
- Another (not quite so) early start, this time from Uniondale; LBC Game Thread powers up at 2:30. Meantime, check out our pals at Lighthouse Hockey and Islanders Point Blank.
Did you know:
- Former Islander Sean Bergenheim has recorded 6 shorties and 5 gamewinners in 128 appearances at Nassau Coliseum
Saturday’s Organizational Transactions:
- D Colby Robak recalled from San Antonio
