The Stars are shining on the power play, 3-1 now as all three goals have been scored with the man advantage. All games mentioned are in the second intermission.

Flashback
It was eight years ago (February 24, 2007 to be exact) when the Leafs and Flyers were cellar dwellers in the eastern conference. Those two teams were the national game on HNIC except for viewers in the Ottawa area that saw the Sabres-Senators game. The latter were in a home-away series where there was a massive brawl in Buffalo two nights earlier. It was the talk everywhere and the CBC did not even do a slight increase in distribution for that game. Viewers outside of Ontario were not watching basement teams.

The additional games Sportsnet provides on Saturdays is terrific because not every game involving canadian teams is a marquee game. This is a major improvement from the ignorant CBC who would not give a damn about its viewers from the other nine provinces and three territories.
