The was some nice, perfectly timed skating across the blueline by the Kaprizov line.

So I’m sitting here getting over my third bout of Covid. Good times. Had a small portion of our roof replaced today thanks to an F-1 tornado that went through our town this summer. Also had a shower replaced this summer. I don’t know about you, but that has to be enough positive mojo for a good result tonight.

For obvious reasons, we have no Wild stats. Since we're a but limited in stats, I'm including the predicted lines.

This interview also makes me laugh, when I think of all those years Preds dans would boo whenever he’d touch the puck. We did them a favor and they didn’t realize it.

If you haven't listened to the interview with former Predators teammate, Jason Arnott, I highly suggest you do. Seems the "Suter is a cancer in the locker room" people were 100% right. https://www.minnesotasportsfan.com/ryan-suter-was-a-bad-teammate-before-minnesota-wild-nashville-predators-jason-arnott/

Looks like people are still out with their moms. I was supposed to work, but I’ve come down with a nasty sinus infection combined with laryngitis. Good times. The crazy part is I’ve felt exactly like I did when I had Covid.
