I think the Denver Post should be ashamed of themselves, this is blatant gutter sports journalism. What the hell is wrong with this newspaper? First we get this moron's Mark Kiszla's Ugly Betty hockey in Colorado's future, the article was an absolute joke, that the Wild can't win unless they goon it up. That article was so bad that the Star and Tribune covered this skippy's story. Now the another writer says the Wild resorted to Goonery. Just for the recored the Colorado Avalanche's have more fighting majors this season than the Minnesota Wild this season.
Talk about one sided journalism, while I agree the Veilleux hit on Stansy was brutal, it could have been a five minute majors some of the other crap from the Avalanche's did was just as bad. Peter Forberg is an absolute dive queen, and should be given a unsportsman like conduct penatly for his antics. Check out the latest skippy from the Denver Post.

Frustrated and outplayed all night, the Wild resorted to some goonery after getting down 5-0, including a third-period boarding penalty on Stephane Veilleux where he left his feet to hit Colorado's Paul Stastny. While a suspension is probably unlikely because Stastny was not hurt, the fact he left his feet to deliver a potential dangerous hit from behind could warrant action from the NHL front office, which has cracked down on such infractions this year. Minnesota's Derek Boogaard also drew a 10-minute misconduct for shooting the puck down the ice after a penalty, then throwing an elbow to the head of David Jones.
Patrick Reusse wrote what a lot of Wild fans think of Ian LaPerriere the guy is a hack and loves to go around running the smaller skilled Wild players but wants nothing to do with the Boogey man.
We might as well take a Kiszlaesque shot here and point out what a classy guy the Avalanche has in LaPerriere. There were a couple of fighters on the ice -- normal-sized fellows -- but LaPerriere decided the guy to drop gloves with was Veilleux, the smallest guy on the ice at the time.
After his historic night of piling up penalties, Veilleux said it wasn't a case of the Wild being down big and trying to intimidate.
