What everyone is talking about
It hurts me to say it, but the Wild went on national TV and lost about 2 seconds into overtime. The teams were both expected to be better this year than they were last year, and neither have been blowing the pants off anyone. As has been the case all season, the Wild outshot their opponents and still couldn’t win. Sports Illustrated, NHL.com

Scoreboard
Dallas 2, Vancouver 0 – Kari Lehtonen was impenetrable last night. I have a cousin named Kari. She is a she.

Boston 3, Minnesota 2 (OT) – Loui Eriksson has the name of a Minnesota comedian, so this makes it hurt even more.

Ottawa 2, New Jersey 0 – The goaltending was strong last night. Sheesh.

Tweet of the Moment

This is important for Neuvirth, because he faces a lot of unchallenged breakaways during Sabres games. Because Buffalo is bad, you see.
