Weird things happen in situations sometimes. Of all the games I could have done something like this, it came in my 900th game. It’s fun, on a weekend night when my kids are here. It’s pretty exciting. I’ll remember this. With the win, three goals, my kids being there, I think I have a lot of reasons to remember this game.

Why last night rocked:
- TOR over OTW, 5-0; this one’s a reach but actually benefits Florida/
Why last night jonesed:
- WSH over MTL, 3-0; multi-point performances by Semin, Laich move Caps within spitting distance of FLA
- NJ over PHI, 6-4; Devs’ Foster: 2G-1A, minus-1 in hang-on victory/
Panthers Playoff Update:
- Lost to Tampa Bay 3-6; playoff odds down 8.8 to 75.6% per Sports Club Stats
Why today is a Big Deal in SoFla:
- BOS at WSH, 12:30 p.m. (NBC-SP)
- PIT at NJ, 1
- PHI at NYR, 1
- WPG at MTL, 2/
Next up for the Cats:
- Tuesday from D.C.; the LBC Game Thread will be calling Strategic Air Command headquarters shortly after the Go-Code is issued at 6:30./
Did you know:
- With the completion of the season series vs Tampa Bay, Florida has nine games remaining vs division opponents: Carolina (4), Washington (3), Winnipeg (2); four at home/five on road./
Who’s your pick tonight?
