Tough to stay up for these late games, eh? Thoughts on this non-HD game with my very favorite announcers:

• Mr. Leopold’s first act as new owner should be to re-sign Gabby for the rest of his career.
• Great fight between Boogey and Shelley – although it didn’t seem to pump up the Wild.
• Lots of falling by Skoula tonight (although the 4-on-1 seemed like a trip to me).
• Quit with the softies, Backs, it’s killing us.
• Always hated the icing touch-up rule in the pros. Get well Fozzie!
• Three on three was sweet – how about 20 minutes of that for OT instead of the shoot out?

On to beautiful Vancouver…
