Wednesday Toss-Up

So, puckheads, this might be a day late, but it's another edition of the Wednesday Toss-Up. For those of you that are new to this, there's a topic and I have to choose a side. It's fairly easy. Once you understand it, you'll know what I mean. Let's get our topics for the day.

More likely to win the Central? The Blackhawks or the Red Wings?
Okay, look, the Blackhawks are the defending Stanley Cup champions. The Red Wings, however, have more of an ability to clinch a division with ease. They have a very deep lineup much deeper than the Blackhawks, even though they are in great stretches right now. Overtime, I think the Blackhawks will eventually fall, and the Red Wings are just too tough this year. It's got to be the Red Wings.

Better buy for the Toronto Blue Jays owner? The Raptors or the Maple Leafs?
I got to think it's the Maple Leafs because they have a great history in their franchise and I believe with a new owner, they can become Stanley Cup champions. The Raptors are nothing right now because Chris Bosh left for South Beach, so I don't believe he's going to buy a team that lost one of its star players. I think the Maple Leafs are a better buy and I believe it's much better right now than the Raptors.

Better revenge game? The Capitals beating Halak or the Bruins shutting out the Flyers?
This is too easy: The Capitals may have lost to Halak in the playoffs, but the Canadiens didn't come from three games down in the series to beat them. The Bruins spanked the Flyers in this game which is a better revenge because they did blow a three-game lead in the series. I think the Flyers will need to find a way so that if they meet in the playoffs again, it's not a 3-0 hole. Right now, the better revenge is the Bruins blanking the Flyers.

Better relocation? The Edmonton Oilers moving to Quebec or the Phoenix Coyotes moving to Winnipeg?
Let's get something straight: If the Oilers go to Quebec, you're going to be facing a lot of protest in that city. The Oilers are the greatest franchise known to that city. For the Coyotes, they need to move because they're in a city where nobody cares about them and the only attendance they ever have is 6,000 people. Plus, if they move to Winnipeg, the city will embrace them and they'll get more playoff appearances thanks to that crowd. It's the Coyotes moving to Winnipeg because Edmonton's not going anywhere.

Well, that's going to do it for this week's Wednesday Toss-Up. As I have finals coming up at my college, I won't be blogging as much. Look for more blog posts coming after Wednesday, December 15. The Wednesday Toss-Up will continue every weekday but look for more posts after the 15th. Enjoy the hockey, puckheads!
