I'm hoping for a similar effort in the NYR game.
Wild Win 5-3 with US getting an ENG.

[bbgarnett]

4-2 Bruins

Great back and forth with the Foligno bros 

[wildstars95]

we have a 6'3 center in mcbain ...and he don't wanna play for the wild just our luck

I respect Duhaime's willingness to fight, but he needs some coaching.

[Tomdog]

Is Dewar out tonight?

I think so since Jost is playing.

[Tomdog]

I would rather see Dewar at center than Bugstad.

[bbgarnett]

damn sick pass 

[Tomdog]

Finaly seeing the PP units of line 1 with defenseive pairings and line 2 with with defensive pairing.

I think we win this game.  I would still like to see a call up of Rossi before the playoffs.  I am guessing the roster is the roster, but we traded a center for ....a wing, and didn't bring up a center (I don't count Bjug and Rask as centers that should be getting TOI).  So, why not, he is starting to peak in interest in the AHL, and the points are starting to become leaner to come by - a new challenge is needed - 3/4 of the year in the AHL is MORE than enough.

KK97 X2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tomdog]

Kaprizov times 2

[EmptyShelf]

Kap was NOT going to be denied on TWO breakaways
