2 BIG games!

Gearing up tonight for 2 big games! Montreal is host to Boston, and Toronto is on the road facing off against Ottawa at Scotiabank Place. Both games are set up to be real doozies and I haven’t even decided which one I will focus on the most.

The Montreal/Boston game the other night was one of the best I’ve seen this year, with action end to end! Montreal is currently at the top of the conference, however Boston is sitting in 8th place, hanging on by the skin of their teeth.  They will be doing everything they can tonight to hold on to their position, as they can’t afford a loss, and must want to get back at the Habs for the 4-2 beating on Thursday. Boston has won only once against Montreal in the 12 games they have played against each other this year, and they don’t want to end the seasons match up on a low note!

The Ottawa/Toronto match up is also set to be a good game as I believe the last time the two teams played each other, Toronto destroyed Ottawa 5-0, which was a big surprise all around, and extremely upsetting for me. I would like to see Ottawa get them back tonight, and I think that with Ottawa only three points behind Montreal for top spot, they will be playing with everything they have. Toronto is basically a lost cause, as they are in 12th place and 5 points away from a playoff spot. The five points is not too out of reach but it will take a win tonight and an almost flawless performance from here on in. Needless to say, they also want to make the playoffs so they won’t be going out without a fight. Out of the 6 times Ottawa and Toronto have played each other this season, the wins are split.

Needless to say, these games will be exciting! My fingers are crossed for Ottawa, and I think I will be using the “return” button on the remote all evening!
