Wild vs Ducks

Wild 1, Ducks 2
- Corey Perry is ridiculously talented. 
- Parros' mustache deserves it's own zip code it's so awesome.  First favorite tweet of the night: "Parros goalie interference, helped a bit by Schultz; Harding survived his mustache; Wild PP." from Russo. 
- Fuckin' All Star scoooooores!!  1-0 Wild.  Live it up now folks, let's see how long it lasts.  What- Zidlicky got an assist on that and it was a powerplay goal?  Hell has frozen over folks. 

Latest OttawaGh0st take on Dany:
 
Just brings me to tears laughing so hard every time one of these videos gets posted!
- Who are these guys?  10 minutes into the first period and we're living in the Ozone, forcing turnovers, shooting the puck like we were born to.  Am I watching the right channel?
 
- Note to Staubitz, oops - you're not here anymore.  Kassian takes on Parros and his mustache and it's a draw.  That's a win in my books when you're fightin' Parros.  Second favorite tweet of the night: "Big heavyweight bout by Kassian and Parros; Good shots both sides; I think Kassian got razor burn on his fists from that stache." yet another one from Russo.

- Ooh La La, Latendresse is tweeting, in French no less!  God Bless google translator.  @thetender48. 

- Harding better hope for a bungee cord from his valentine.  Stay in the net, dude!  Have to give him props though, looking great out there.  Waaay better than his last outing on Jan 31.   

- Prosser looking like a BEAST in the second period.  Keeps gettin' better. 
 
- Confusing to hear "Koivu" and see a Duck trying to score on Harding.  Pesky big brother Saku.  

- Jonas Hiller = Vacuum.  Keeps sucking up Wild shots on goal.

- Really nice to hear someone other than Doc Emery calling a game on NBCSports.  Need to have a break before playoffs start when I'll be hearing his voice ringing in my ears 24/7.

- Bad McMillan, Bad.  4 minute highsticking penalty for drawing blood.  Wild killed it off like it ain't no thang...who are these guys??   

- Buster doing the potty dance.  He's got good timing with the second period coming to an end.  He doesn't ask for much in life: bowl of food & water, potty breaks, hard run at the park and a soft bed to sleep on.  Oh yeah, throw in a good scratch in just the right places.  I need to pattern my life to that simplicity.  Everything I need to know I learned from my dog.

- Gigantor The Linesman: who is that guy?  He's like 8 feet tall.  Okay, it's 6 foot 9 inches but c'mon, that's huge!  Mike Cvik makes the NHL players look like pee-wee kids on the ice next to him.    

- Harding has stood tall all night long but finally gets beaten by Hagman and the game is tied 1-1.  Was that Mikko who turned the puck over? 

- Third favorite tweet of the night: "That at least shut down the Wave; what did I miss a memo the last games? Quit it." Russo on a roll tonight.

- Decided at last minute to tape the Westminster Dog Show instead of flipping back and forth.  Good decision. 

- Curses and Fire Ants on Corey Perry.  Ducks 2, Wild 1 with seven and a half minutes left.

- And now the Wild fall apart.  Bad decisions with the puck, inability to clear the zone.  They have to break this habit. 

- Last two minutes are frenetic!  It's not that the Wild played poorly during the first 58 minutes but man, if they had put in that kind of effort early on in the game they might have scored a goal or two more.  Entirely different outcome possible.  Giving Hiller his due cuz he was huge in net for the Ducks tonight. 

- Second game in a row where Heatley has produced but nobody else has.  Think he wants a trade? 

- Fourth favorite tweet of the night: "It's going to feel really good when the Wild is finally good after sticking with them through this. " courtesy of ms.conduct. 

Okay, off to Westminster to find out who's Best In Show - Lord Stanley knows it isn't the Wild.
