Sid the Kid lead his team to victory and 1st place in the Eastern Conference after a 3-1 win over the Rangers today. Lets face it, the NHL needs this badly. They need a team like Pittsburgh to go far in the playoffs to peak any interest in major US networks. They need a face like Sidney to represent the league. He's charismatic, well spoken, and a game breaker. What could be better than a lengthy Pittsburgh run in the playoffs?
How about a Pittsburgh vs. Washington showdown?
Ovechkin vs. Crosby. Imagine the former Hart trophy winner vs. this years potential Hart trophy winner. For a hockey journalist it would be like Christmas Day in the middle of April.
One can only hope.
If the league is to become successful in the USA they need to hype up the drama and stories behind each game. They need to intensify the rivalries with their epic NBC style pregame montages. This potentially could be that series to get it all started again.
Washington is still 2 points back of Boston and Boston has a game in hand. The Sabres need to do Washington a favour if they want to have any chance of making the playoffs. I've got my fingers crossed. Do you?
