If you're like us, you have six cannisters of Pringles Salt and Vinegar chips next to the sofa right now, and a 12-pack of Steamwhistle on ice in a cooler just waiting to be demolished. Now all you need is something to keep you entertained. Here are four eSports events worth tuning in for this weekend. 

Stanley Cup Playoffs: Vegas Golden Knights vs. Nashville Predators

Friday (April 10) at 7.m. EST on the Nashvile Predators Facebook page.
You know what the greatest things in the world is? Take a bow if you said “Round 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs”. That’s when the upsets tends to happen, the fights are plentiful, and—because no one is banged up—the hitting is particulary punishing. Imagine the adrenalized insanity that might have been in 2020 when the Preds face off against the Knights for a simulated Round 1 series that kicks off at 7 p.m. Friday night. Don’t forget that, at playoff time, you don’t pick up your teeth--you kick them into the corner and get ready for the next shift.
