First Screen Viewing
Jets vs. Lightning – 6pm
Everyone in Manitoba wants you to believe this is a Final preview. While NBC execs gag over the thought of that, this is two teams at the very top of the standings. The Jets are riding their goaltending and shooting a bit, but given the talent they have they should outshoot their percentages a little at least. The Lightning are where they deserve to be, and considering the amount of scoring talent on display here this one could go haywire. Or the Bolts could smack the shit out of them, either way.
Second Screen Viewing
Maple Leafs vs. Penguins – 6pm
It still doesn’t feel like it’s all quite clicking for the Pens yet, which makes their standing right in the muck of the Metro all the more scary. What happens if they do put it together? The Leafs are currently second in the East, and given that the Penguins love to be high-event these games tend to look like a speed binge. Hopefully the same tonight.
