First Screen Viewing
Sharks vs. Lightning – 6pm
You probably didn’t notice, because they’re on late and it’s hard to remember who’s still left, but the Sharks have risen to the third spot in the Pacific and have multiple games in hand on both the Knights Who Don’t Say Las and the Kings. They’ll visit the East’s best in the Lightning tonight in what should be a pretty fiery affair. Both these teams create a lot, both have a fair amount of firepower on offer.
Second Screen Viewing
Oilers vs. Flames – 9pm
First Battle Of Alberta in Calgary, and if the last-minute Kris Russell own goal that is unquestionably the highlight of the year didn’t cause Edmonton to swallow itself, then a beatdown from the Flames ought to do it. The Flames are clutching to the last playoff spot in the West, and if the Oilers aren’t completely fucked they’re days away from being so. Any revival would have to start tonight. Should they lose, especially big, we’re going to get true panic stations from Peter Chiarelli and it’s going to be purely awesome. Don’t miss it.
