First Screen Viewing
Blues vs. Bruins – 6pm
Do we still call this the “Backes Bowl?” These are two of the bigger surprises this year, especially the Bruins who no one saw as a true Cup contender (and whether they really are or are just a Tuukka Rask production is a question I leave to you for the moment). The Blues have fallen just a touch off the pace at the top of the Central. It’s only a three point gap to the Jets and they have the same points-total as the Preds, but have played four more games than the latter and three more than the former. The Stars aren’t on their ass, at least not yet, so they’re a bit entrenched right where they are. The Bruins have a three-point cushion and four-game cushion on the Leafs behind them but aren’t going to get anywhere near the Lightning either. They’re also entrenched. Tune in to see why Fifth Feather hates Charlie McAvoy so much.
Second Screen Viewing
Lightning vs Flames – 8pm
The best team in the league versus the one that just can’t seem to figure it out. At least the Flames get up and down the ice as well, and they’ll probably look great for 50 minutes of this one but do enough in the other 10 to bone another two points away. It’s kind of their thing. And then everyone there will blame Troy Brouwer for it.
