Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Preds Vs Blues Home Music & Pre Game Gropefest Mar 21 2010

Scoreboard watching and priming the pump for an epic win over the Preds today

Star-divide

The Wild are helping the Blues' cause right now with a 3-2 lead over the Flames in the 2nd. Toskala gave up a couple cheap ones and is now riding the pine. Ian white just got his first as a Flame. One thing's for sure, the Wild are not going down without a fight.

 

Sniffing around On The Forecheck's site we find

Captain Jason Arnott didn't travel with the team after suffering a head injury in last night's win over Columbus, on what Barry Trotz called a slew foot by Sammy Pahlson. Boyd to move up to fill Arnott’s spot.

Pekka Rinne may be hotter than Prince's Hot Chicken, but I can't imagine he'd get the start just 22 hours after the opening faceoff in last night's game. That would mean Dan Ellis gets his first start since the 3rd period meltdown in San Jose 10 days ago:

Time to ruck up and march, this game is huge. No time for whining,  we need to take out our best hickory axe handle and apply it upside Nashville's skull.

I find it amusing the @NHL talks about removing “staged fights” yet the Janssen/Lablond fight from yest. is highlighted all over NHL.com

Best comment on Cam fight last night

from Skorka85 regarding linesman Kevin Collins watching the fight and freaking out

I’m sure he was kneeling next to the tv trying to put his arms in between them and break them up.

Blues have gone 9-3 in last 12 games and gone from 7pts out to 6. UNBELIEVABLE 4-3 in last 7 though dropped them from 1 pt to 6 out

That Wild loss hurt bad.
