First Screen Viewing
Maple Leafs vs. Wild – 6pm
They won’t have William Nylander yet, but as soon as they do the Leafs very well might be Showtime! That is if they aren’t already. Anyway, they’re at the top of their division, the Wild are near the top of theirs, and that’s the best on offer tonight. With Boudreau behind the bench and Mike Babcock seemingly giving in and actually letting his team be fun, this one should look a little like a track meet.
Second Screen Viewing
Flyers vs. Penguins – 6pm
Both these teams blow right now but these things tend to turn into ECW matches and that’s always good for a laugh. Hmm, the Penguins suck two seasons after they won their third Cup. The Kings never recovered from winning their second. It’s almost like every team succumbs to their success after a while. Wonder if I could think of another example…
