Every sport has its rivalry games, but there is something a little extra special about the meetings between the Original 6 teams in the NHL. Arguably, the biggest of these rivalries is the one that pits the Detroit Red Wings against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Not only do these teams share a long history, they are geographically close enough to almost be considered neighbors even though they are in separate countries. Both teams are in what may be described as a down period, but the meeting on Saturday afternoon is one that holds a high level of importance for the Red Wings. They are currently on the outside looking in at the playoffs, but are still well within reach of a coveted postseason spot. You can bet that former Wings coach Mike Babcock will be looking to hurt the hopes of his former friends when he takes to the bench as the Leafs coach. It’s all to play for here in this NHL Lines match up, and you can wager on it at MyBookie.ag.
