from Mark Kiszla of the Denver Post,
Any coach should have the authority on his bench to tell his players to take a loss like men, go home with their dignity intact and use the scoreboard to seek vengeance in the next game.
But what do I know? I don’t live in the state of hockey, where die-hard Minnesota fans are still sore after the Wild got beat up by Anaheim in the playoffs a year ago.
In response, Lemaire assembled the biggest cast of desperadoes and bushwhackers seen since “Blazing Saddles” hit movie theaters in 1974.
But here in Colorado, we know all too well how stupid violence in the game can result in a broken neck.

All the Avalanche fans are loving this series. However Game 4 turned into a joke the way the Wild acted.
Pay no attention to Kiszla’s writing. He’s just looking to rile people up. Pretty successful at it too

Did he just equate Minny’s pile of PIM the other night to the Bertuzzi/Moore incident? Wow.

What a bunch of cry babies. Playoffs to rough for you? Next year you better let Vancouver make it instead of you. I would be embarrased if I was an Avalanche player.
