Phenomenal shot of Panthers netminder Jose Theodore feeling all 183 lbs of blueliner Dmitry Kulikov, December 31, 2011 vs Montreal. Incredible photo (owned and) shared by FOTB Ward Benjamin. Several other amazing pics documenting the sequence can be found here via FaceBook.

Why last night rocked:
- Several hours of Family Guy was pretty cool
- Olli Jokinen bagged an assist during his 1,000th game (a 5-3 NSH victory; Bouwmeester: minus-5)
Why last night jonesed:
- Quiet night on ice, with no action in the East (perhaps a good thing)
Why tonight is a Big Deal in SoFla:
- NYR at PHI, 3 p.m. (we'll throw together a Winter Classic Game Thread for those interested)
- NJ at OTW, 7:30; pick your poison for this one, as both have 43 points and have won two straight
Next up for the Cats:
Thursday at the Rangers. LBC Game Thread gets animated at 6:30.
Did you know:
NBC SN (r.i.p. Versus) will be carrying a sweet-looking documentary on the 1972 Summit Series following the WC at 6. Really stoked for this.
