Yotes win double overtime thriller 4-3!
The game was back and forth with the Wild erasing three different Coyote leads before finally losing in double OT.
As Peter Maher aptly puts it, "Yeah, baby!" In double overtime Vaclav Prospal undressed Sergei Goncher with a spin-o-rama that would make Denis Savard proud then buried the biscuit in the top shelf over Nabokov’s glove hand for the game 1 victory.
The Coyotes swept the game stars.
1 - Vaclav Prospal (COY)
2 - Jamie Langenbrunner (COY)
3 - Curtis Joseph (COY)
The Jagr trade looks pretty good so far in the playoffs.
Vaclav Prospal - 1 GW OT Goal, +1
Jamie Langenbrunner - 1 Assist, +1
Filip Kuba - 1 Assist, +2
As an entrance song the Coyotes had the St. Paul Arena play the pump up song
Know Your Enemy by Rage Against the Machine as they took to the ice. As a result there were 18,600 Minnesotans who peed their pants in fear (Wild GM JiriHrdina was one of them).
The Wild’s superstar Joe Sakic played the game with brand new bright pink skates. When asked it they were for Breast Cancer Awareness or some similar cause, he replied “No, they just make me feel pretty!”
In the Jobing.com Arena in Phoenix the 2nd most exciting thing besides the Coyote victory shown on the jumbotron was the surprise wrestling match held during the 2nd intermission.
Due to the overwhelming response to the scheduled game 3 chocolate wrestling match between Eva Mendes and Scarlett Johansson the Coyotes organization has decided to make this into a tournament with matches held every Coyote playoff game.
Last night’s game saw the opening match between
Jessica Alba and Eva Longoria.
VS 
And introducing the tournament's special guest referee: Danica Patrick.
After some early action Eva tried to take a quick breather on the outside of the inflatable pool, but tournament referee Danica Patrick rolled her back into the pool. She then went on the offensive until Jessica went for a elbow drop, but missed it by a country mile, chocolate sprayed the fans in the front 2 rows….delicious! They went into a pin exchange and Jessica rolled up Eva with a bridge pin to win.
WINNER: Jessica Alba, she now moves onto the 2nd round.
Afterward, Eva was a poor sport and threw Jessica to the outside. Referee Danica helped Jessica up and raised her hand in victory as the two posed for photos. Eva looked frustrated in the ring.
