Start of second period, Kim Johnsson is not on bench. He got hammered by David Backes late in the first. He's got an upper-body injury. Boogaard is sick.
Good evening. Gametime in 15 mins. Same Wild lineup as Wednesday's win.
In the press box tonight is the entire Dallas Stars front office and coaching staff, including GM Joe Nieuwendyk, coach Marc Crawford and the great STUUUUUUUUU Barnes.
Also scheduled to be here is some guy named Steve Yzerman, who might be scouting some guy named Brent Burns for Team Canada.
Talk to you after the game, or maybe throughout. If you see any kinks in the new blog setup, please let me know. Thanks
John Scott in for Boogaard.
