The heck with Tom he's out smoking balla cigars, I needed that for fantasy even though Darling is killing my save percentage and GA ... at least he got the win. :-)

If anyone that has seen the video thinks he didn't have intent, they'd better go see their optometrist. Personally I think he should have been suspended till the end of the first playoff series. It's the second time he's swung and hit a guy in the face with his stick and third offense total.

I may be biased being a Wild fan, but he should've gotten more and I think he would have if Coyle have gotten more than a cut and black eye.

I don't think there is any question there was intent. That said, I'm okay with 6 games. With his history, he now also has multiple offenses with his stick. If he happens into this again, he's in serious trouble.

ADD: I think the lack of "serious" damage, for better or worse, had weight on the suspension.

Thankfully Coyle looks just fine from our seats.
Jets waiting to be spoilers....

I could really really really really use a big Jets win tonight, Neil, maybe you can let them know for me :-) :-)

So far Scheifele continues on his point streak
1-0 at the first intermission

This building is rocking, even if the team is out!

Not going to make it easy for the Wild. I think the Minnesota boys in the team (Wheeler and Buff) really relish this!

My entire fantasy season is basically riding on the last 20 minutes of that game .. come on JETS!!!!

I love me some Jets!

Work for you ?

Yah I was all over it, the 4th goal did it and the 5th was just icing on the cake. :-)

Blah blah blah.....my Wild are limping into the playoffs again. This team is ridiculous. Look like a team that could win the cup one week and the next they can't beat an AHL team.

I feel yah there brother - our team has driven us insane with their inconsistency.

Schizo crowd last night - Wheeler absolutely steamrolls Dubnyk behind his net and gets 2 minutes. Crowd furious, because goalie was outside his blue paint - "Refs you suck" chant goes up.

10 Minutes later there is an announcement that linesman Brad Lazarowich is retiring - he gets a standing ovation.

Just weird if you ask me....

Gotta love those zebras.....

Maybe they thought he was retiring on the spot :-)

Missed it all until yesterday, watched the Hawks get the 6 in a San Diego breakfast bar. missed the Bruins' 4....so I say it never happened.

Minnesota has to get to the conference finals this year to play the Hawks, so Keith's suspension wouldn't have helped then anyway. :-) :-)

Nice little quote from Don Cherry talking about how Rask couldn't stop a beachball. :-) He does know his hockey!

We will be lucky to win a game in the first round the way we look right now.

You're fortunate to play Dallas or St Louis in the first round, Pete, I wouldn't want to travel and face Anaheim or L.A. this early. :-)

Agreed. I'm hoping they find a way to get back to the team that wins for the playoffs.

Well with the Avs out, hope Anaheim rolls late. I'll be down there for some work in May, hope they can give me some love.
