First Screen Viewing
Blue Jackets vs. Flyers – 6pm
I can’t tell you either of these teams are good. In fact, I would argue they’re barely middling. But thanks to the odious nature of the Metro and the bottom half of the Atlantic, they’re battling for the two of the last three playoff spots. The Flyers have the third spot in the Metro and the Jackets have the last wild card spot. New Jersey and Florida are the other possibilities. So ths one is pretty important. At least the Flyers are fun. The Jackets are…Torts. Anyway, should be a passionate one.
Second Screen Viewing
Bruins vs. Panthers – 6:30
The Panthers have climbed back into this, mostly because their two goalies are healthy and playing out off their minds. Sasha Barkov going a bit nuclear hasn’t hurt either. They’re four points back of Columbus for the last spot but have three games in hand, which basically means they have to take them all. The Bruins are locked in and everyone’s hurt or rested, so this could be another the Panthers could add to their hot streak and distract people from noticing that Dale Tallon is the biggest reason the Knights are embarrassing the sport.
