First Screen Viewing
Sabres vs. Lightning – 6:30
Thanks to not losing in three weeks, the Sabres have overtaken the Bolts for first in the Atlantic. I know, it’s weird. It probably won’t last, because they keep winning by one goal. They also have four wins in overtime. But hey, might as well enjoy it while it lasts. Anyway, they passed one test earlier in the week by sliding past the Sharks. Now comes another one, heading to Tampa to take on the division’s landmark. Now that there’s snow on the ground, hockey season really has begun, so this is on occasion worth seeing.
Second Screen Viewing
Wild vs. Blue Jackets – 6pm
Because someone has to, the Jackets are near the top of the Metro once again, one point behind the Caps. I don’t know that they’re any good, but junk sometimes floats to the top when surrounded by other junk. Same goes for the Wild, who are doing the Bruce Boudreau thing of collecting regular season points for no particular reason you’ll be able to identify come Tax Day. I guess I have to give up this fight. The Wild will have 103 points when the season ends whether I like it or not.
