April Fools day, who is the more foolish? the fool or the one who follows the fool?
I thought the price of gas was a prank this morning, but evidently not. Great stuff, extra butter on the popcorn.
Big night in the NHL with 10 games. Tampa and Florida will pick up their game in hand on the Leafs. Panthers are at the Habs, I smell an early fight in that one. Lightning are at the Islanders. Islanders and Canadiens are in a must win scenario here on out to make the playoffs, especially the Islanders who have several teams to leap over.
Panthers have lost 3 out of their last 4 games on the road, including one in Montreal, scoring only 7 goals in those 4 games. Lightning have wob 3 straight, scoring 19 goals, all at home. They've lost their last two road games, with 10 goals against.
Since the Leafs lost back2back games in mid-March at home vs Florida and Ottawa, Toronto has gone 6-1-1, with their power play at almost 50% (9/19). Thanks in part to their four big guns having double digits in points in that span.
Tavares-13, Marner, Matthews and Nylander each with 11, Spinal Tap will be happy.
Tomorrow I will have a column to set up Leafs and Panthers.
