Well

We do need to win somewhere, since we can’t win on the ice.

Hopefully we can keep the intensity up

That first shift looked weak until the penalty and since the goal we’ve looked really good.

I’ve been ripping on the wild all season, so it figures they’re playing the Avs tough.

Avs score...2-1

Ugly Play by the Wild….and the Crowd Boo’s

And Sheppard gets called for a BS tripping penalty

Guy steps on the puck and because Shep is in the vicinity…he gets called..F that

I haven’t been impressed with the refs tonight. I thought there have been some marginal calls.

Not as bad as the game where Montreal had 7 on the ice in the final 30 seconds against the Avs, but that’s not setting the bar very high

Answer to question #2...yes Kobasew has made a difference

while it doesn’t look like it on the scoreboard..his play has been great tonight.
