Wednesday Caterwaul: Panthers GameDay Open Forum
From the Nothing To Do With The Above Photo department: Having spent better than six seasons in the Western Conference, Panthers winger Mikael Samuelsson's 16 previous trips to the Pepsi Center have been statistically profitable, collecting 14 points (5G), a plus-6, and 4 assists on the man-advantage at the home of the Avalanche.
