I'm seeing conflicting reports on Twitter. One of our followers said that Vegas is on a flight home, but Russo says they're in their hotel rooms awaiting further instructions. It seems that on-ice officials have been told to book flights home.

Well that is a game I wish I had missed. In fact, I would have rather cleaned my kitchen and the fridge instead of watch this game. Anyway, here's your post-game, which was a joint-effort by LIG and I tonight. Defensive letdowns prove costly to Wild in 7-3 loss to Kings

FOLIGNO!!!!!

Did every Wild player treat the blades of their sticks with TEFLON instead of ROSIN?

Oh course, Kopitar.

Oh goodie.....this is only Peterson's 7th start of the season. We're going to make him look like the next coming of Matin Broudeur/Patrick Roy.

I hate games like these. I have a bad feeling that somehow they'll screw the pooch.

Here's your post-game: Stalock stands tall in 3-2 win against Sharks Who thought we'd end up in possession of the first wild card spot at the end of this one?

I really miss Carson Soucy.

However, instead of watching Wild Live right now, we're stuck watching a REPLAY of the Brewers-Reds game....which isn't even real baseball right now as it's that stupid training league baseball.

Yay....YouTubeTV and Sinclair have reached an agreement.
