Hello there, Friday.
The most casual business day has reclaimed its spot atop our "Best Day of the Week" power rankings, after being de-throned last week by Saturday. What was so great about last Saturday? Simple: we hosted our Open House event, and it had a special guest.

Jussi Jokinen stopped by and mingled for a bit with fans (check out that video above for more). But let's not bury the lede here - that cookie looks delicious.

That kid's going places.

CATSTAGRAM:

Here's the most levelheaded, reasonable take ever to be given within the confines of Rats Roundup: Denis Malgin's Instagram stories belong in the Smithsonian.
Exhibit A:

There's a lot to unpack here. There's the donkey, which is Malgin's new buddy, the sleepy looking puppy, the facial expression, the ski lift… all proof that Denis Malgin is living his best life, folks.
Speaking of Cats and Instagram, we've compiled more quality content in the first ever Catstagram Catch-Up, so

BJUGY REWIND

Nick Bjugstad's season got off to a tough start, as he missed the first 19 games with an upper-body injury. While the 6-foot-6 forward worked through some injuries and tough puck luck this season, he's already laser-focused on helping the team win again next year.
"I like this team and I want to do whatever I can," he told FloridaPanthers.com's Jameson Olive. "Whether it's third-line, fourth-line, or whatever, I'll play any position."
This week, it was Bjugstad's turn to be featured in our Season Rewind series - which includes a video of every goal he scored this season - so go ahead and
