Wild and Avs 2-2 after 2, good break for the Wild on their 2nd goal with the puck finding Heatley's stick after deflecting off traffic and him finding the net. Good 2nd for the Wild as they hold the Avs to only 5 shots despite having to kill 2 penalties.

Yeo needs to keep Prosser on the bench he served as a perfect screen for the Avs on that one and didn't pick up anyone in coverage instead backing in on top of the goal. Don't know how the ref missed the easy goalie interference call and it looked like he was waving it off right away but changed his call. Reffing definitely doesn't look great again 1 pretty weak penalty call each way in the 1st.

Disagree with him being ready to go and don't know that he will ever play in the NHL. I like Rocco and realize he has great skill and I'm sure I'm in the minority on this but I actually don't think losing him would really affect the team too much and of the guys who thought about leaving if one had to go pro he would be the one I would pick just because I think the others are more integral to the team next season.

I'm going with the Wild, Kings, and Rangers although I would really like to see Philly and Pit go to battle again.

Can't remember exactly but just by the way he played overall as well as his skill with the puck and the way he could skate I definitely wouldn't be surprised if he pulled that move.

Is that he was listed at? Seemed smaller during the state tournament like maybe 5'9-5'10. Anyway I said smaller and 5'11 definitely wouldn't be tall. Thing that stood out with him was his skating ability and offensive skill, I really would have liked to see him land at UND

'97 D Ryan Zuhlsdorf of Edina commits to Minnesota, really liked what I saw from him during the state tournament, smaller D with good offensive skills and a great skater.

That is a real tough call, looked to me like Stalock had it and should of got a quicker whistle.

Did Frattin play at all for Columbus in their series? They seemed like a team that was a little short on skill and scoring and it would have seemed to make a lot of sense to have his speed and shot in the lineup. Gotta love Parise's mindset- Chad Graff ‏@ChadGraff 10m Zach Parise put things in perspective: "We didn't sign here to win a first round game."

They are way better than their reds, the new white road unis are much improved this year as well.

Quick makeup call on the Sharks, you knew it would be coming.

Would you expect anything less from Roy than to have 2 of the biggest goons in the NHL Mcleod and Bordaleau go out for the that last shift and try to run anyone they could catch up to? Pretty good performance from the Wild aside from not starting to play the 2nd period until there were only 10 minutes left in the 2nd. I thought there was gonna be a bunch of controversy again after a missed hold and a missed trip that gave the Avs pretty good looks but Kuemper came up big and probably played his best game of the series. The big money duo of Parise and Suter came through big for the Wild tonight but 3 of the youngsters Granlund, Coyle, Haula, and El Nino were really good tonight too. Looking forward to game 7 and hoping Roy has some flashbacks from his playing days against the Wild.

Completely disagree I love the green unis.

Don't think there was any interest or room at UND for him.

Yeah I think most fans think a certain former Gopher that may be from a foreign country will probably be the one who ends up filling that open cap space left by Heatley. Glad they also get rid of Stoner too, if only they can find a way to get rid of Brodziak with those two they will be a lot better off getting rid of some pretty bad skaters who are very turnover prone.

Toews with the powerplay goal to give the Hawks a 2-1 lead early in the 3rd. Sharp finally gets involved and follows with a quick goal after blocking a shot 3-1 Hawks.

Oshie gets another goal to tie the Blues up with the Hawks 1-1 after 1.

Pretty creative video using last nights Colorado/Minnesota game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0SEXTBeg4o&sns=tw

No I think more people are upset with the linesman being out of position to make the call (shoulda been inside the line instead was behind the line and may have been blocked out some) and what more people are upset with is the obvious holding by the Colorado d-man on Coyle when he had a shot at an empty net to basically end the game but it isn't called and Colorado turns it the other way and goes down and scores. Reffing was pretty brutal all night though so why would it get better at the end of the game.

I get what you're saying and I'm sure those two could impact it a little but I doubt teams like CC and Denver would be real happy with bringing in two more teams that far east. I think ideally if they are gonna add two you add one like Bowling Green for Miami and Western Michigan and then you add one that could actually compete and at least be middle of the pack in the league like Mankato.

Looks like JT Miller is in for the Rangers today believe it is his Stanley Cup Playoff debut.

No offense but I would really hate everything about this and hope it never happens. Huntsville would be the last team that I would want in the NCHC and splitting the NCHC into divisions when you only have 10 teams would be horrible and unnecessary.

The back foot of Stastny is in the air not being dragged and the puck hasn't entered the zone yet which makes it offsides. If you watched the game last night they deserve to whine even more than they have. If you think the Minnesota writers are bad now you should see the way the Colorado writers have been, they have been whining all series about every little thing even though neutral observers have said they have definitely been on the receiving end of some fortunate calls and they've been outplayed most of the series.

Foot is in the air not being dragged, Wild writer Russo said he has heard from multiple NHL people that can't believe those two calls were missed saying they weren't even that close. Even former NHL official said it was pretty bad: Kerry Fraser ‏@kfraserthecall 10h Trouble in Denver. Charlie Coyle held by Andre Benoit with net empty causing turnover. Up ice, Paul Stasny is offside as Avs tie game. Ouch!

They were offsides as has been clearly shown on FSN as well as all over Twitter. There also was a no call when Coyle had a shot at the empty net by was wrapped up and held. Avs top line tonight was clearly the 4 men in stripes and everyone can see that. Wild will just have to battle through it and try to overcome it as they have all series. You Avs fans that keep mentioning Cooke have you ever seen Bordaleau and Mcleod play?
