Another game, another point, this is the theme of our very short season. The Wild looked impressive again in-game 2 of the season but once again came up short of this elusive 2nd point we have heard so much about. Matt Dumba also made his NHL debut last night and wasn't someone I noticed stand out too much, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing for a defensemen.

Don Cherry backs Patrick Roy's outburst, says it was a good thing - The Hockey News
Yea, Don Cherry says a lot of things that are pretty stupid. Like Roy's freak out or not, going back for seconds on the glass that was clearly ready to drop on top of Boudreau is not a smart decision. Anybody else smile every time they see Roy though? I can't get Bruno's goal out of my head!
