Yeah, uh, sorry no guides on the weekend, the kids were sent away to their grandparents for the first time since...hell i can't remember. As much of a lost weekend as you can have in your early 30's with a bad back and spending an afternoon looking at model homes.

I hate my own house now BTW.

Anyway, here are your lottery standings:

Alright! Go Leafs! Back down to 27th place and 9.5% shot at #1! Man I hope Arizona and Edmonton go on winning streaks.

Here are tonight games:

Edmonton Oilers at Detroit Red Wings
Best outcome:Edmonton over Detroit in regulation
It doesn't matter if Detroit gets a point, but I like it when they lose.

New York Islanders at Toronto Maple Leafs
Best outcome: NY over Toronto in regulation
Gotta keep those points away from the ACC, and give the Isles a 3 point lead on 1st in their division.

Anaheim Ducks at Vancouver Canucks
Best outcome: Meh. Let's say Anaheim over Vancouver in regulation.
No Lottery hits here but Anaheim getting 2 points keeps them ahead of Nashville. I also dislike the other Canadian teams, so let's give the Canucks no points and let LA take their spot.

Nashville Predators at Arizona Coyotes
Best outcome: Arizona over Nashville in regulation.
One game that affects two picks. Arizona all the way on this one.

Pittsburgh Penguins at San Jose sharks
Best outcome: San Jose over Pittsburgh in regulation
No worries for the Leafs on this one, but I want SJ to make it over Calgary and would love to see people panic i nthe hockey mecca if the Pens barely make the playoffs in a wild card spot.

Big night tonight. Got islanders! Go Coyotes!
