Josh is thinking Arby’s (after he has a Wild burger at Wendy’s, I’m sure).
That was the poster the Wild handed out to fans leaving the X last night after the 3-2 overtime thriller versus Colorado. I caught the game in person after getting back from spring break on the train in the morning.
Some observations:
- We got to see all five goals at our end of the rink.
- Three shots on goal in the second was pathetic.
- Why can’t Skoula be physically more aggressive when he plays? So tentative…
- Koivu face-off wins top 70% tonight (Shep was 80% and Demitra over 50% too).
- Butch’s fight from the last game must have rattled him a little – he seemed to lose his puck-handling touch most of the night.
- Loved the starting line – Boogey with Gabby and Demo.
- It was hard to tell if Voros was playing at the start – under 7 minutes of total ice time.
- Johnsson almost hit 30 minutes with 34 shifts. Bet he misses Foster the most.
Next game: Thursday night versus Calgary at home for fan appreciation night.
