Wild keep battling to the end in 4-3 overtime road loss to Vancouver as they go on to win the Northwest Division

Easter, a time where kids enjoy another opportunity to search for candy filled eggs and use another religious holiday as an excuse to give gifts and get together with families. Whether you loved the Russel Stover chocolate covered marshmallow bunny, Marshmallow Peeps, Cadbury Eggs or the Reese's Peanut Butter eggs, it was always a fun time. Without offending anyone who abhores the fact one of the most important Christian religious days has been turned into 'Easter Bunny Madness', it is often a sign that the NHL regular season is near its end. For Minnesota, they know their season is near its end so they have nothing to really to lose at this point, while the Northwest Division leading Vancouver Canucks are hoping to build some momentum as they prepare themselves for what they hope will be a long run in the post-season.

Minnesota was coming off a hard-fought loss to San Jose on Friday night, where there late-game rally wasn't quite enough. Will the Wild have enough focus and energy to pull off a victory over their arch-rival Vancouver or will Vancouver make Minnesota wish it stayed home for Easter?

Apart from the full game report there is a nice Cuma and Hackett update.

if the young kids that scored the 2nd goal right away is a glimpse of what to come, this guy is excited for next year.

from what i saw of Wellman i liked, he has speed and hustles his ass off and works so hard, hell even Shepp looked decent last night.

Hmmm....another game where the Canucks completely fell apart at some point, especially Luongo. Not a good sign for things to come. What a fucked fucked up way to win the NW division!
