Oh, hello, it’s been a minute. How’s everyone doing? Enjoy your break?
Media hype around this game will be, already has been, off the charts. Pretty well guarantee it won’t live up to what the media is peggin’ it to be. Listening to the players and Tipps yesterday they seem to all understand that the 2 points are of utmost importance... she’s a MUST WIN!
|
I must be living in an alternative universe. I don't have social media accounts aside from FB, so I guess I can't conclusively speak to the level of hype, but I haven't seen or heard a peep about this game anywhere aside from local media, really. I completely forgot this game was taking place tonight.
|
Not sure if serious...in case you are - If you are, I live in NB and work from home, so have TSN/Sportsnet on most of the day - national media has been going on about this game since the last one. It's not just the local guys.
|
I noticed a bunch of snippets on TSN. Wasn't the main story on the front page though. SportsNet was dominated by other things, notably about Kobe. To me this is a meaningless mid season game. Obviously this isn't being really talked about anywhere else other than a few specific areas. Leafs Lunch touched on it too, that was about it.
|
With the standings as tight as they are, I'm not sure there's any meaningless midseason games the rest of the way, especially between Pacific division foes. A short winning streak could put you in first in the division. A short losing streak and you're out of the playoffs. The Oilers with 57 points are tied with both wild card teams (both from the Pacific) and only three up on #9 and #10 in the division. Hell, #12 Nashville is only 6 points back. The Flames are only one point ahead of us and Vancouver is 3 up (we have a game in hand against Van and two on Cgy).
Hard to imagine a scenario where the game is more meaningful - and the teams play again on Saturday too. If it ends up out of hand for either team in either game, it'll be interesting to see what happens - although if it stays close, I think the mischief will be kept to a minimum.
