Sunday Caterwaul: Panthers Open Forum and Early NHL Playoff Game Thread

Saturday's Result

• (7) Washington over (1) NY Rangers, 3-2 (REG): This about sums it up for the Rags; local reaction from Japers' Rink and Blueshirt Banter. Series tied at 2, Game Five tomorrow.

Today's NHL Playoff Action

• (2) St. Louis at (8) Los Angeles, 3 p.m. (NBC): Kings are 7-1 in postseason, have 3-0 lead in series. 'Nuff said.
• (5) Philadelphia at (6) New Jersey, 7:30 p.m. (NBCSN): Devils' goaltenders are a combined 79 years old today, hold 2-1 series lead.

Panthers in the WHC

• Florida's Marcel Goc and Germany (1-0) take on Latvia (0-1) at 2:15 ET from Stockholm. Slovakia (Tomas Kopecky) plays Team USA Monday; full tourney results and schedule here (and yes...the IIHF inexplicably finds itself operating a lousier website than the American Hockey League).

Around the Den

• The Rampage set course for friendlier shores as their second round series heads south to San Antonio after earning a split in OKC; Game Three is tomorrow.
• Spector's Sunday NHL Rumor Roundup
• Talking potential playoff MVPs at Puck Daddy
• Former Panthers Everyman Rick Dudley on the move once more?
• Interesting stuff from Sportsnet on player curfews during the postseason
• More mudslinging over the Coyotes, this time from a former owner
• We'll have a dedicated thread for the "late" game at 7 this evening. Have a great Sunday :)
