I'd be blown away if the Wild signed some huge contract for an older goalie...they saw what happened to the Blues. The reason the Wild lost to CHI had nothing to do with their goalie or forwards. There were some defensive breakdowns by some of their forwards but I felt their biggest weakness was the defensive core as a whole. Had Crawford not stood on his head for a few of those games the Wild would have made it through, in my opinion. They need to trade away some of their younger prospects (not their key ones) and try to pick up a good 2-way defensemen so everything does not fall on Suter. Then they try and lock up Kesler or Statsny....someone who actually can play on both sides of the ice.

Couple poor calls and some bad luck. That's why we play till 4.

Hockey is doing better than it ever has. Why don't you just watch lacrosse?

Just sent that to a Caps fan co-worker. We had a laugh. He noted Ovi pulls that like once per week. In looking at his +\- from last year those plays shouldn't be unusual.

Now that was great....one hand on the stick, no knee bend. That was very "men's league". Funny.

Ha, good call. Unreal goal though.

Haha... nice.

So nobody though John G's goal today was down-right awesome....tough crowd.

Haha, I've seen that before. Wow does Malkin get undressed though. They need to do the same thing for Ovi....he has 1-2 every game.

Canadians pre game entertainment is legit.

Toews... legend.

Und didn't have a club team? I lived there almost my entire life and never realized that.

1st ballot legend.

The kings are scary. I know they were a six seed or something but they are so much better in the playoffs than the regular season. I think there was a 4x4 last night where doughty, kopitar, gaborik and muzzin were on the ice at the same time and dominated....then they showed the bench quickly and I realized how deep that team is. CHI is going to have a battle in front if them. I think that series is going 7.

Neither do I. Too tough to monitor, however, with how this world is shaping up nothing surprises me anymore.

Well, the first sentence was correct.

I have the kings tonight. 4-3.

Yeah we'll see. He may be getting a jumpstart on his schooling. I would be slightly shocked if he was the player they decided to bring in. However, I'm not sure whoelse they could bring (not knowing Gersich's school situation). I got on Wilkie early last year because his numbers were not impressive at all, then he went on tear towards the middle of the year. He finally cooled off towards the end of the year. I really do think another year of juniors would help him a lot.

Why is everyone so focused on the face. Many of you are imagining that type of (infrequent) injury happening to themselves I think. These guys don't show up to a normal 8-5 job. They are hockey players. Why not focus on cut resistant jerseys to protect critical ligaments. Maybe they should ban skate blades? Maybe they should mandate a new helmet that all players have to wear that better protects for concussions, it seems that is the injury causing the long term damage.

What he said.

So did Mitchell Mattson

You're probably right. Because it's "he said she said" no one truly know exactly what happened besides the little girl and the bullies. My initial point was that the parents messed up by throwing their daughter on FB and it going viral. She will forever be "that girl". I feel bad for her.

Dave, you have never played hockey.

I kind of like oilers as well. Has meaning, isn't owned by 100 other schools. Hmmm.
