First Round Bust: James Sheppard Is Worth The 81st Overall Pick- Perhaps a pick the Wild could use to trade up into the second- or even first- round? Flahr and Fletcher have always been about quality over quantity at the draft.
Off the Trail
Brent Seabrook scores the winner, and it counts, as Blackhawks take Game 7 in OT (Video) | Puck Daddy - Yahoo! Sports- Good news for the Wild and the NHL. The Wild, because it would have looked all kinds of bad if they couldn't put much of a dent into Chicago, but the 7th seed could knock them out. The NHL because it'd be very, very hard to argue that the four best teams aren't still playing in the playoffs come Conference Finals time.

John Tortorella’s greatest media rants as NY Rangers coach (Video) | Puck Daddy - Yahoo! Sports- Remember teh asshattery that was John Tortorella v. The Media.
Mark Messier, New York Rangers head coach? | Puck Daddy - Yahoo! Sports- What kind of joke of an organization installs a franchise legend as their coach(/eventual GM) seemingly merely because he's a franchise legend?
