Hello, hello. About to walk over to the Pepsi Center. I’ll be back later after the Avs and Wild skates with updates.

Hope you found today’s advance interesting. I tried to not make it too “inside hockey,” but I think there are some pretty good anecdotes to give you a little bit of color regarding what it’s like to be on the Wild bench with Jacques Lemaire at the helm.

I tried to lighten it up at times in there, specifically with the lead, but to me it’s interesting and I know Lemaire’s line changes are always an ongoing topic for Wild fans. Basically, there is a method to the madness — sorta.

Also never asked you what you thought of the Brent Burns advance stories for the series? To me, anytime you get a hockey player talking about the ovulation of snakes, it’s a must-read.

Thought you might find this amusing considering the previous blog. A reader emailed me this Denver Post story. The writer didn’t exactly get the context of what Demitra was saying.

How about Calgary last night rallying from a 3-0 deficit to beat San Jose? Trivia question: When’s the last time the Flames rallied from a 3-0 home deficit to win, and against whom?
