First a few thoughts about last night's abortion of a game. Seriously...what a horrible game to watch. Even worse then usual with these two teams.
-The PP is now 2 for 34 at home. That's basically the equivlant of throwing up on a table in public. Just disgustingly terrible.
-In the history of the league, how many 40+ save shutouts have occured? Gotta be a pretty small number, huh?
-Holy God. I, like Bart Scott, cannot wait until Anton Babchuk is demoted/bought out/traded. (Edit: well, turns out he's hurt. Imagine me softly saying "yay he's not on the ice".)
-That was the best game I've ever seen from Jay Bouwmeester. +7 at ES(!) in scoring chances, +15(!!) in Corsi and a couple of really good and physical defensive plays (!!!). Those games are the reason he got so much in July of 09.
-Can we all just take a moment and laugh about how Wild fans get so worked up about everything? There was even a trending topic on twitter regarding "#refcallsincalgary". I just imagine all of them screaming "OMG BIAS!!!11!" at their screen. It was a headbutt. Shut up.

Definitely a headbutt
And the sky is green, we breath neon, there is life on the Sun, and Gretzky sucked at hockey

Pretty ironic coming from a fan of a team that has never done… Well…. Anything.

How does it feel
knowing you’re the worst team in Canada? Also, that you’re in Canada?
Blood runs red, green, and gold
well, we aren’t the worst team. that would be the jets. or montreal. Canada’s pretty great. you know, free health care and stuff.

Hahaha. Being in Canada is suppose to be a bad thing? Coming from a Minnesota fan? Thats the Canada of the US!

We have had franchise players, we have had playoffs. We have a cup.
The Wild have to be one of the most mediocre franchises to ever exist.

Would love to stay and argue
But I have better things to do than argue on the internet. Stay classy, fuck the Nucks

Head Butt
There certainly wasn’t a Patrick Kaleta style head-butt, no doubt. But, I saw two very obvious head-butts by Johnson to Iginla. However, I don’t think it warranted a 5-minute major… A 10-minute misconduct or even a game misconduct would have been fine to me. No need for a 5-minute powerplay and the reason I feel that way is because Johnson’s actions were nothing more than that of a desperate guy who’s getting his ass handed to him in a fight. It was the only way he could keep Iggy from completely pummeling him. Having said that – it was a chicken shit move and I have no time for guys who dish it out and aren’t man enough to accept the consequences. (you know, guys like Alex Burrows). But that’s just my 2 cents and anyone who says there wasn’t a head-butt was clearly watching a different game than I.
