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.

“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?
