Welcome back, computer. It's been far too long that you have been gone.

Let me get this straight. I was unavailable to watch last night's game (will be again tonight), and the Wild won a game? In a shoot out? Has anyone talked to Hockey Ops at the NHL level? How this can't be overturned on review is beyond me. I was fairly certain there were rules against this type of thing. Maybe the presence of the young upstart on the bench got Backstrom playing again.

Whatever it was... keep doing it.

Vote- Time to vote for Defending the Blue Line.
