Talk about a test game. 
Boston has been losing lately and the Wild winning, let’s hope the trend continues. 

[ClusterChuck]

Slight positive is the Bruins don't have Kap to focus on to shut down. 
Have to bring our A game to beat the B's. 
I'd be happy with a point but in case they get 2, Wild Win 4-3.

[wildstars95]

   envision this is game 6 for the cup  4-3 wild

[wildstars95]

Only 5th game of the season when we were still at our worst.

[ClusterChuck]

I'm a bit surprised Gustav got the start. 

[ClusterChuck]

No goals by guys named Cha-Lee.

At least it was obvious.
Good news is we've already beaten Ullmark twice in the first.

[wildstars95]

last game at bruins we had a goal disallowed also 

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Man, Gustavsson is making my decisions in fantasy hockey real difficult.

I play in a keeper league and I have 4 goalies... 2 of which I need to decide to keep, the other two to drop to the re-draft.
I have Gus, Fleury, Husso from Detroit, and Demko from Vancouver.

My initial thought was, keep Husso and Demko. Fleury will be dropped back into the redraft, but man, I am thinking Gus will be THE main starter next season and I should keep him.

So cool, calm, collected in net, has a good defensive structure in front of him...
Dammit Gustavsson! You are stressing me out with your outstanding play!
