I didn't like the call on Johnsson either, I think it was bogus and the ref had his head up his wahoo hoo but I'm glad it didn't get to the Wild and they were able to get pat it. One of things that bug me about them is they were an emotional team who would let themselves get 'down' if they were in a bind. It looks like they didn't do that tonight, which is awesome.
Koivu has been valuable all season. He plays a very solid, well-rounded game and is considered a go-to guy. He's not flashy so you won't see him dangling as much as PMB but he's solid, sturdy and it's like he's always in the right place at the right time. He's a great playmaker, can think on his feet. He's not physical so you won't see him putting hits down everywhere but he'll do it if necessary. Love the guy.
