Solid win at a crucial time. Can't ask for more than that.
Incidentally, while he deserves full credit for the outlet pass to spring Jost for the GWG, one shift from Colin Wilson in the closing minutes just kinda embodied everything that makes me want him gone. Gets a clean breakaway, sends the shot over the net (and he was visibly upset about that too). Puck goes the other way, he's a bit late getting back but whatever, probably a bit winded at that point. But then he makes some weak-ass clearing attempt up-ice and gives it right to the Wild player on the point, who then sends it back down for another scoring chance.
I don't buy for a minute that he won't get a decent deal elsewhere. Probably not a raise on his current contract (though the market has inflated quite a bit in recent years) but he'll get something. My guess is Columbus or Arizona. But I definitely don't want him in Colorado next season. I slag on the guy a ton but honestly he's been okay as an interim guy. But that's all he is.
Anyhow, guess we'll see if these guys can get over the hump tomorrow. But I don't mind one bit that the Wylde had their playoff hopes dimmed somewhat at the hands of the Avs.
