Why you'll watch - April - 7-25-09

Something we've done the past two offseasons is examine the recently revealed schedule, and just in case you needed a little bit more enticement to watch a team like the Penguins, come up with reasons to watch all 82 games on the slate.

So without any further delay, here's why you'll be watching in April.

April 3 - vs. Thrashers - Kari Lehtonen is tight with Lil John:

April 6 - vs. Capitals - It might not be a playoff game, but if you get three of the best players in the world on the same sheet of ice in April, something amazing is bound to happen:

April 8 - vs. Islanders - You're not really going to miss the 1,671st and final regular season game at Mellon the Civic Arena are you?

April 10 - vs. Thrashers - Because it's still fun to chant "Mooooooooossssssseeeee!!!!"

April 11 - at Islanders - Maybe the Islanders will wear their sweet throwback uniforms in anticipation of drafting another top-three draft pick:
