Fri 1/21/11 NHL

Fri 1/21/11 NHL 4-3 last night. 52 Florida (-115) Tampa off 2 straight shootout wins. They just beat fellow divisional rival Atlanta for the 5th time this season last night. 54 Buffalo (-1/2) (-117) Sabres seem to be coming together. 2 huge wins over good teams. They might be making a run back into playoff position.

My Panthers are 3-0-2 last five but the two OTLs have hurt, especially the last one against a bad Columbus team, in which they gave up the tying goal with 53 seconds left and then the winner with 54 left in OT. Can't back TB either, though, for the reasons you state.

I'm less confident about Florida than Buffalo.
