Good games tonight...
7:30 Columbus - Pittsburgh
Really rooting for the BJ's to make the playoffs for once. They're on the outside looking in right now, but withing striking distance. But who would have thought we'd use Penguins and 'withing striking distance' in the same sentence in February?
7:30 New Jersey - Atlanta
I just don't get the Devils. The more players they lose, the better they become. Now they get a chance to fatten up on a weak Thrashers team, something the Rangers couldn't do...at HOME!
7:30 Montreal - Buffalo
Sabres catching up to the Rangers and Flyers, but this is a tough one. Habs are my dark horse team to make the finals.
8:00 Nashville - Minnesota
Preds are another team I'm hoping will make the playoffs. This is a huge game for them. They're within striking distance themselves, but have a lot of teams to pass over. That's not easy.
8:30 New York - Dallas
Sather is making the trip. Big news. He's going to talk to Les Jackson about starting the process of sending Sean Avery to the Rangers' AHL affiliate in Hartford. I'm usually an idiot, but I may have gotten this one right. I've said all along the Rangers are the only place I see him playing in the NHL this year. This is a 'no excuses' game. Stars played (and lost) last night in Colorado, while the underachievers were snug as a bug in their Dallas hotel rooms.
