First Screen Viewing
Bruins vs. Predators – 7pm
It must be “Final Preview Week” in Nashville, as the Preds face another supposed East contender. The Predators are the only team at the moment in the league with 10 wins, they just signed Pekka Rinne to an extension, so there could be so many meaningless banners this season. Still, everything is rosy in yellow. If that works. The Bruins have 16 points, and are still looking for something beyond their dominant top line. It was ever thus.
Second Screen Viewing
Lightning vs. Canadiens – 6pm
At some point soon, I guess I have to take the Habs seriously. I don’t want to. You don’t want to, no one really wants to. But they’re riding equal with the Bruins, whom they just whacked in Boston last week, and now get the division leaders at home. You’ve seen what the Lightning can do, what they will do, and there are no statement games in November but division games do matter. Or it’ll start the Montreal market correction, which we’re all here for.
