Games to watch this week:
Root for Russell, Stempniak and Wideman against Chicago and San Jose this week, even though they barely stand a chance.
Root for Perron against Vancouver and San Jose this week...Edmonton will most certainly lose, but Frenchie will probably take at least one stupid penalty and may just score a goal.
Root for someone this Saturday as Nikitin and Columbus take on Boyes, Weaver and Florida.
Root for Bishop and company in every game they play, because, St. Louis!
Root for Nikitin and the Blue Jackets to mop the floor with Ovechkin and the Capitals on Thursday.
Root for Salavador and the Devils...to get the shit kicked out of them as we look to give the Devil's their due on Tuesday night.
Check back in next Monday, because it's just like spending the night with your ex, only with less regret and awkwardness.
