Wild/Jackets GNT

[IndyAndy]

Oh boy: Coyle gets tossed for the game just seconds in for a shoulder to the head on Anisimov (sp?).

BIG hole in Minny's top line.

 

[IndyAndy]

Wild get a seriously 'greasy' goal when PMB ricochets the puck off of a Jackets player - Who was about two feet beyond the far side of the goal from where he shot it.

Prospal evens it up for Columbus.

Tyutin puts Columbus ahead.

1st period was all Minny: This one is quickly getting away from them.

 

[Smoke]

Wow. What a save by Bob.

 

[IndyAndy]

D@mn, Bobrovsky is good: The Wild are dominating every aspect of the game, save the score.

 

[IndyAndy]

Pominville ties it up!

The look of relief on Yeo's face said it all.

Going to extra innings.

Backstrom gives up two goals in the shoot-out.

Wild need to get out of this rut or they're gonna miss the post-season.

Played a great game tonight...Bobrovski just out of his mind again

I just saw the Coyle hit. That was all shoulder but I believe the way the rule is currently defined 5 and a game was the right call. I don't think he was targetting the head so there should be no suspension. Coyle was a physical player in junior but about as sportsmanlike as you can get. Unfortunate situation for both guys. Hopefully Anisimov is okay and only left the game as a precaution.

Gotta give props to Dubinsky. Not only did he come to his teammate's defense but as he's fighting he actually turns and looks to see if Anisimov is okay. That my friends is a true teammate!

Edit - Before Dubinsky came in it looked as though Coyle showed legit concern for Anisimov as well.
