Now that we’re in the thick of the NHL post-season push, every game is a must-watch event as teams jockey for position in the standings and make a push for playoff contention.

It’s a fun time for hockey fans—heck, even those rooting for lottery teams—and it also makes channel surfing a sport in and of itself. That’s why, this Thursday, we’re bringing all the NHL’s best must-see moments directly to sports fans, all in one place: your Twitter feed.

What: The first-ever edition of Sportsnet Ice Surfing

When: Thursday at 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET

Where: Watch the show live @Sportsnet on Twitter

Who: Hosts Jeff Marek and Jason York bring you the night’s best highlights from across the NHL in real time, plus plenty of good old hockey talk. Also, joining the guys on the phone will be Winnipeg Jets forward Mark Scheifele and former NHLer Marc Savard.

“Thursday night will be a lot of fun on Ice Surfing,” host Jeff Marek said. “I’ve been hoping to be part of a show like this for years where we bounce around all the NHL games, break down the key plays, talk to current and former players and not miss a thing. Bonus, I get to work with former NHLer Jason York and our online gatekeeper Storie Serres. Should be a fun hockey hang.”

Why: …why not? Just look at the schedule below.

See how the Toronto Maple Leafs measure up to the powerhouse Nashville Predators, stay up to date with Alex Ovechkin‘s latest point streak and chase for 50 goals, check in with Connor McDavid‘s Art Ross Trophy campaign as the Edmonton Oilers visit the nation’s capital and check in on the Vancouver Canucks as they hit Chicago — all without changing the channel.
