Wild Take 2-1 Series Lead With OT Win

And with a 3-2 win in OT... Ringing any bells, people? This was the third game in a row with the same result, and each has been as thrilling as the last. Wild forward Pierre-Marc Bouchard bangs one home 11:58 into the first overtime with a beautiful pass from Brian Rolston. Overtime was dominated by the Wild, who made the Avs look like they were boys among men. Goaltenders were the key for both teams again tonight. Jose Theodore and Niklas Backstrom seemed to be standing on their heads at times, especially Theodore in the third and OT. The calls were fair and evenly dispersed this evening, so I have no complaints in that department. Great play from both teams. This is what the playoffs is all about.

Game 4 is tomorrow at 10et/9ct in Denver and it looks to build off of an already amazing series. PS to ESPN.com, nice recap, guys. Also, Pierre-Marc Bouchard apparently isn't in Yardbarker's database for tagging. That made me a little sad.

Okay this is a great series and boy are they going to be tired tomorrow night. That leads to the question about which team can last with all this OT. Oh and a side note Joe Sakic could be the clutches player ever.

I really think Minnesota has the edge, and that's not just my homer talking. They really look like they want it more. Plus, I don't think Theodore can take one more loss like that.

What are the chances tonight's game goes into overtime. I'm gonna say 65%

It may be even higher. I'm psyched for tonight, it's going to be great.
