Classic Lemaire

In case you missed it, here's a vintage Lemaire quote from yesterday about switching Brent Burns from defense to wing:

"I'm not asking him to build a car, I'm just asking him to play the wing."

Good stuff indeed. Here are 2 interesting numbers from last night:

0:22 -- time on ice for Gaborik after the 10:00 mark of the 3rd period, after suffering a "mild groin strain." Obviously A BIG CONCERN.

13,430 -- attendance at The Pond. I'm not going to go on a rant about hockey interest in SoCal, but they've got a really, really good hockey team here and they're not supporting it.

I wonder if the Wild shouldn't think about sitting Gaborik on the swings through the south. The horrible ice cannot possibly be good for him, and that might help him stay healthy for the rest of the season.

BTW, nice blog! (And a clever title, too.) :)
