PHT’s Morning Skate takes a look around the world of hockey to see what’s happening and what we’ll be talking about around the NHL world and beyond.

Panthers coach Kevin Dineen was upset about a lot of things and thought last night’s 2-1 loss to Phoenix, “turned into a bit of a power play schmazel.” Laverne and Shirley are proud of that wording. (Sun-Sentinel)

Mario Lemieux skated with the Penguins! ...But just for fun. He’s the owner, he can do stuff like that. (NHL)

Kyle Turris’ Sens debut saw him earn an assist on the eventual game-winning goal. That’ll do, Kyle. (Senators Extra)

Ryan Smyth would like some consistency in his game these days. Wouldn’t we all? (Edmonton Sun)

Martin St. Louis is back to practicing after his horrible shot in the face. (Lightning)

Canucks-Red Wings tonight should prove to be a good measuring stick for both teams. (Detroit Free Press)

Anyone seen Mike Cammalleri in Montreal? He’s needed to help the team get their season back on track. (Montreal Gazette)

They’re referring to Ryan Jones in Edmonton as a “junkyard dog” these days. If he starts walking around the locker room with a big chain around his neck, this wrestling/hockey mix is officially off the rails. (Edmonton Journal)

If you think you saw nude photos of Leafs player Mike Zigomanis, Brian Burke wants you to know it’s not him. Awkward. (Toronto Sun)

Cam Janssen wanted his fight with Mike Rupp to be a spark for the Devils last night. They lost 4-1 to the Rangers instead. (Star-Ledger)

Ottawa’s Jesse Winchester is on the concussion list now. (Sportsnet)

Michal Neuvirth is seizing the day in Washington. Carpeing diem? I never took Latin. (CSNWashington.com)

Travis Hamonic played over 28 minutes for the Isles in his hometown of Winnipeg. (Islanders)

Make it five in a row for the Wild. Losses, that is. (Russo’s Rants)
