Fire walk, we trail blazin'
Burn to the next destination
Flexin' on this world exploration
Teamed with the best in the nation
Yes, and who that be?
Custom design fine rhymes into salary
All the way from T-Dot to the Van City all stars
Rude boys freak you like a fantasy, word up
Off we burn to the next destination after last night's romp in Toronto, teamed with the [almost] best in the nation. Because Florida won last night as well, we remain two points back of first place. So tonight we go all the way from T-Dot...not as far as Van City, but to Edmonton (well, Boston, but it works better with Edmonton) to get two more points. Facing McDavid & company on a back-to-back won't be easy--the Oilers are playing great hockey right now, riding a four-game winning streak into the Garden. Love what I'm seeing from Morgan Geekie these days, and it was great to see DeBrusk score his first goal since the Obama administration. With Ully expected back in the pipes, it's an opportunity to shake off whatever has been ailing him of late--our Swedish Chef has not won since Feb. 8, going 0-4-1 with an .874 GAA in that time. What better way to get back on track than to win the second half of a back-to-back?
To paraphrase Lou Brown in the otherwise forgettable sequel, Major League II, "OK, we won a game yesterday. If we win today, it's called 'two in a row'. And if we win again on Thursday, it's called a 'winning streak'. It has happened before."
7:30 EST / 5:30 MST start. NESN/ESPN+ for those of us in the States, SportsNet/Sportsnet+ in Canada. WIN.
