Brandon Bollig said something to Heatly while lining up for a face off that sent Heatly over the deep end, and had one of the other Wild challenging Bollig after the puck dropped. I mean Heatly just went berserk. I hope it didn't have anything to do with Heatly's vehicular homicide charge....I don't care for Heatly, but that would still be bush league.

This was a great game to watch live. To quote Tom before the game "its the last game so there won't be any fights". Wrong!! I think by the 3rd one we knew it was going to be a crazy game.

That's not the quote, I said "Minnesota has no playoff hopes so there won't be any fights"....but I was still way off.

Looks like Tyler is laughing at that sign....wonder if he remembers the skanks?

The local sports station was bemoaning the fact that the Wild have won three in a row at "the worst possible time", harming their lottery chances. LOL Whatever. They have an influx of young talent on the way over the next 2 seasons, and if they stay healthier next year, they could become a force to be reckoned with once that talent matures. Not only that, they are expected to be a fairly big player in the free agent market over the offseason, and reportedly have a native son as their main target:

That would be a good get for the Wild!

I know they've been talking about it since before this season. Plus, the fact that he's built a huge new house here. I know they're likely to throw a boatload of $ at him. Imagine a line of him and Heatley, centered by Koivu, and a second line featuring Setoguchi and Granlund and maybe someone like Clutterbuck or Cullen. It would be HUGE for this franchise to bring in a player of his caliber. Of course, all this doesn't mean jack shyte if none of them can stay healthy. Not only that, the other young talent they are expecting to have come in. This franchinse has a bright future ahead, and adding Parise would make it damn close to blinding, IMO.

That Zucker kid from Denver put a move on the defense last night that had a couple of jocks laying on the ice. Unfortunately he lost the puck before he had a chance to do anything after getting past them. I agree with the young talent this team could do something sooner rather than later, but health has been such an issue all season long.
