The Perfect Night in the NHL

1) Montreal beats Boston: In the highly unlikely event that Toronto win both games this weekend, they'll need to keep the Bruins close if the two games remaining against Chara and co. are to mean something.

2) Tampa beats Pittsburgh: In the much more likely event that Toronto lose one or both games this weekend, this closes the gap between the Leafs and last place.

3) Carolina beats Florida: No sense letting the Panthers move anywhere up the standings until we figure this whole thing out.

4) St. Louis beats Ottawa: A Ottawa loss is enjoyable enough, but add to that a Blues win puts them only 3 ahead of Toronto in the Stamkos sweepstakes. C'mon Brad Boyes, do it for the team that drafted you and then stupidly gave you away for Owen Friggen Nolan. Sigh...

Happy Easter Weekend
