First Screen Viewing
Flames vs. Capitals – 6pm
Though the Caps haven’t been able to tie their skates correctly, including giving up 30 goals in their last five games (all losses), they’re still hanging around the top of the Metro. The NHL, where it’s really hard to fuck up too badly. The Flames have pulled away in the Pacific, which not many saw coming. Given how bad the Caps defense has been of late, this one should have goals and plenty of them.
Second Screen Viewing
Lightning vs. Islanders – 6pm
The Isles, despite losing to the Hawks, are still atop the Metro, and by a clear distance of three points. Given how much the Bolts can get up and go you can easily see Barry Trotz trying to bottle this one up and make it a slog. But hey, if the Isles win the division then they might as well see how far they can go. And the Lightning will be around. First vs. First here.
