As in, "moving on after that crazy-ass game last night..."
I suppose it's evidence that Lemaire has finally won that I'm sitting here thinking "Boy I hope we can get back to some good old defensive hockey Wednesday night..."
Anyway, Kevin Allen (USA Today) likes the Wild more, I think.
He says: "My sense is that teams enter a game against Minnesota confident, only to get beaten and left wondering why they couldn't win."
Good point. I think this has more or less been the case since day one.

OK, so the Wild are standings-points efficient. That doesn't say much when you still have 4 games vs. Anaheim, Detroit, and 6 games each with Calgary and Edmonton. Let's wait and see how efficient they are after the holidays, when hopefully they will force Gaborik to play or to move on.
Definitely agreed, WRT. Gaborik needs to realize that we're just getting sick of him by now.
I have a question Nick. Seeing as you are a goalie, does the color of your pads make a difference? I was thinking about this earlier and how Fleury switched from his amazing yellow pads to white and this season with Hollywood switching from gold to white.
