If Lemaire has any say in it, then yes, they will re-sign Rolston. He's been great for us for the entirety of the four-year contract he signed with us. He says he wants to finish his career with the Wild, but as always, it's really up to him, his agent and the Wild's front office.

Yeah, my blood pressure isn't doing so great right now. It's been bad all series with the Wild taking so many quality shots and failing again and again and again to score. Did you know that the Wild haven't scored a single goal in the first two periods of a playoff game this year? Of the eight goals we've scored in the first three games, six of them came in the third period and two of them came in overtime. In all three games, the Avalanche have scored first.

Wow, that's odd........but hey, it's working so far, right, lol? Does anything in particular explain the slow starts? Does Colorado just come out strong every game? Maybe it's due to more veteran leadership than Minni.......but then they get tired in the later stages of the game, and then Minni can score?

The Pens are doing better than expected. I thought atleased the Sens could put up a fight. And i hate Sean Avery even more, why would he do such a thing, i couldent stop laughing when i saw it. But come on man! That wasent hockey that was you just trying to hard, or you trying to be a dick.

 The weird thing is that we seriously outplay them in the first period especially and yet Theodore is stopping all of the shots. In the first period of the first game, we out-shot the Avs 17-2. Just couldn't get it in the net for some reason.

WOOHOO!!

Habs win it and they're going to Montreal up 3-1!

What a dick! Towards the end of the video you can see his team mate even tells him to stop.

 It takes a special kind of dick to get a rule named after him.

^^Did they make a new rule?

That was pretty stupid, but as much of a dick he is, it worked. It got Brodeur off his game.........and he scored. I think it'd be more acceptable if he lowered his stick, took his hand off of it, and then waved his hand. With the stick up, he can hurt someone, his glove.........not so much.

I don't know if I can watch tonight's game... the Wild look tired and off their game. Already racking up the calls, down 2-0 in the first period. We lost two important defensemen right before the playoffs started (Foster and Schultz) and our top three right now (Burns, Skoula and Carney) lead all players for time played in the playoffs so far.

It's showing tonight, with a couple of turnovers leading to goals for the Avalanche. The Avs have just been top shelf when it comes to blocking shots, too.

Just forget this game and move on. Mayhaps things will be better at home.
