IT’S TIME FOR A WEDNESDAY NIGHT RIVALRY GAME, GUYS! SO WHO DO WE HAVE?! THE BLUES? THE RED WINGS? IT HAS TO BE SOMEBODY GOOD …
Wait. Philadelphia? Really?
Anyway, the Chicago Blackhawks host the Philadelphia Flyers tonight in an excuse for NBC to leech off Blackhawks ratings. Can’t say I really blame them, but in no way is Chicago-Philadelphia a rivalry. Just start calling the Wednesday NBC Sports telecast something else until there’s … you know, actual rivals facing each other.
Beyond that irritation, we also have the irritation of knowing the Blackhawks have dropped their last three games, including back-to-back thrashings at the hands of Dallas and Los Angeles.
