Hey now...

There will be no cheering for the opposition. (I, of course, am kidding.) Can’t wait for tonight.

The Bruins are my #1 team but that doesn’t mean I didn’t wear my Wild jersey to work today.

If the Bruins weren’t on their longest winning streak of the year (a whole 4 games! wooo.) I’d probably want the wild to win.

I look forward to a Rask outburst tonight.

Don’t let me down, Tuukka.

Anyone want to shoot themself?

I was just reminded of this fact tonight:

Martin Skoula has more goals this season than Martin Havlat.

First PP. I guess it can’t kill momentum this early in the game, eh?

Not overly impressive, but a couple chances.

Looking pretty flat thus far. Wild may need to petition for no more than one day off at a time.

“Ovechkin drew a major for boarding and a game misconduct 3:38 into the third period when he ran Buffalo’s Patrick Kaleta into the boards opposite the benches. It was the second career ejection for Ovechkin, and both have come against Buffalo at Verizon Center. The other was Dec. 2, 2006, when he checked Daniel Briere from behind.”

Anyone suppose they suspend him?

HA HA HA HA HA!
