I haven't seen it, just heard about it. I'll check it out and offer my full analysis.

Finally got around to watching it, and here's the thing: I watched it over and over again to try and find something wrong with it, and I'm just having a hard time. It wasn't a blindside (Zadorov happened to be trying to corral the puck), Wilson was gliding at that point and didn't jump into him - he skated through him just like we were talking about with the Reaves hit a while back, and the hit was shoulder on shoulder. I have high hopes for Zadorov and I hate to see him get hurt, but that seems like a clean, hard check to me.
On the other hand, I can't blame Zadorov much either. He was trying to regain control of the puck and couldn't have done much else. Wilson could have let up a little, he didn't have to freight-train him like that, but he did it and he did it within the rules as far as I can see. There's the longstanding argument between us of whether he SHOULD just because he COULD, but I think we've all pretty much established our sides of that battle.

Didn't someone in here say he was past his prime the other day. Sure looks pretty sharp to me!

It's just Bron being Bron. You'll get used to it.

Unreal that both the Wild and Avs have lost their last 3 games. It's like neither wants to make the playoffs.

So frustrating. I mean, I'd almost RATHER the Wild be winning while the Avs lose, y'know? At least I can say then that the Wild simply deserve it more. But to have the Wild faltering and the Avs not being able to take advantage of it? That sucks even worse. Granted, the Avs have a tough schedule, but I feel like they've just given up.

My thoughts on Duchene's celly, or Roy's critical comments? I'll try to give both at the same time. I really like that Roy is actually coming down on his players. He admitted after the Washington game that his approach of "trust" with his players has perhaps been too soft and that he needs to start holding more players accountable for their play, or lack thereof. He specifically called out the leadership core, which I have questioned recently as well. I think it's needed.
As for Duchene's celly, yeah it was kinda crazy for a 4-1 game. I know he's excited to get #30, but I would think that the whole playoffs thing would cause him to be a bit more focused and business-like. I don't know, maybe I'm just old-school.
