Wild still #1 - Getting better on Power Play

I just finished watching the Oilers game on Tivo this morning. Huge road
win for the Wild! The two road wins against the Flames and the
Oilers is a nice momentum boost heading into Colorado on Sunday,
where the Wild need a big win to open the gap in the division again
between them and the Av's.

It's nice to see that the guys can still score and play well as a team with
Gabby and Demitra on the mend. The five power play goals were a
nice icing on the cake from these last two wins. Glad to see the Wild
getting that train back on track.

Great efforts from Parrish, Koivu and Foster last night. And having
Backstrom back in the net the last couple games has been a BIG
factor in the wins. The guy is a rock. Let's hope his injuries don't
come back, or last long if they do. Josh can't do it on his own, IMO.

The Av's game on Sunday will be HUGE...and I've got tickets for
the Flames rematch next week. I'm really starting to enjoy that
rivalry there.


Go Wild!!!
