Definitely a more aggressive penalty kill by the Wild. Much appreciated.

Koivu needed to shoot.

I'm glad that period is over.

It's a miracle the Sens didn't score on that power play, as they haven't scored a PP goal yet this season.

Well when only the d-men seem to score, it seems like the best recipe for success.

Well, this certainly wasn't the worst period of play we've seen.

Seeing that ad for the Jason Aldean concert, all I can think of it this:

I know there's a risk of injury to try and screen the goaltender, but it would be nice if our forwards would actually obscure the sight lines of the opposing goaltenders. The d-men are getting some nice blasts on goal, but Anderson is able to clearly see them.

Well just like Columbus, Americans are bad with geography (and history) as well.

With some help from Brodin.

Although when I was in grad school in Connecticut, I think I still had classes on Columbus Day.

It's an East Coast thing.

Did you really expect anything different?

If we were playing the Islanders, we'd be playing an early game as well, as they "proudly" celebrate Columbus Day.

We could always switch to the Gopher football game.

Hmm....I'm thinking Netflix is sounding like an improvement.

Man, I worked harder just to watch this team this season than this team is actually trying to play hockey.

I wonder what it's like to have a team that can actually move the puck...

Well considering how this season has started, I think your Mrs. might have the better idea.

Just a Jim Bowers rendition of the anthem and the welcoming of Modinko to the Wild.

Just the new 2nd Gen, as our TV isn't a 4K one.

Most definitely.....and the new remotes even have a volume control.

Well, we finally have a video feed.

I don't know how you do it. I tuned into the Nashville game simply because of jet lag. Honestly, this team isn't worth you losing sleep.
