It’s a hot schedule tonight for hockey fans, as the entire league faces off with games starting every 15-30 minutes.

If you play your cards right, you can be a real Homer Simpson and catch all the action.



The Panthers will look to continue building off a big comeback win over VGK when the puck drops tonight in South Florida.

As Litter Box Cats points out:

Florida’s 19-man roster overcame three one-goal deficits to edge the Vegas Golden Knights 4-3 with Gustav Forsling notching the game-winning goal with 17 seconds left in overtime. Sam Reinhart scored a goal and set up two others and leads the team in scoring with 12 points. The red-hot Reinhart, who was named the NHL’s First Star of the Week, is riding a five-game point streak while Anton Lundell has points in four consecutive games.

The Wild, who swept the Panthers last season, are coming off back-to-back road wins over the St. Louis Blues and Columbus Blue Jackets. Kirill Kaprizov scored the game-winning goal and assisted on Mats Zuccarello’s clincher, and Filip Gustavsson stopped 23 shots in Saturday’s win over the Blue Jackets. This is the fourth of Minnesota lengthy seven-game road trip.”


The good news for Cats fans is that Matthew Tkachuk will be back in the lineup; Gadjovich will sit out with back spasms.

Here is Jameson Olive’s best guess at lines/pairings. I’m really digging that third line:



Bob will be between the pipes and gets a chance to win #400.

How about a nice win in regulation tonight?
