Hello Yelnats followers! I'm back from an impromptu hiatus. I wasn't at home these last few days so I figured I'd bundle up day 4 and 5 to start making up for it. There will be no Yelnats tomorrow, but I'll do days 6 and 7 on Monday. Here are today's games:
Winnipeg Jets @ New York Islanders: Game 3 (Featured game)
Colorado Avalanche @ Edmonton Oilers: Game 3
Make the jump!
Anaheim Ducks @ Minnesota Wild: Game 2
I wish the Wild always played this well. I throughly enjoyed this game. The Wild were often first on the puck after dump-ins, made beautiful passing plays and got some excellent goaltending from Backstrom. Two game lead going into Anaheim. It would feel good to see the Wild beat Anaheim in a playoff series, wouldn't it?
