Will coach rewind Wild lines?

Strictly spitballin' here:

(Hansons) Greenway-EEK-Foligno

Kaprisov-Rask-Zuccarello

Fiala-Hartman-Gaudreau

Pitlick-Sturm-Bjugstad

Brodin-Dumba

Goligoski-Kulikov

Benn-Addisson

Karkonen

Talbot

Quite a challenge ahead. No Spurgeon, Addison probably not there in time, or if he is, tired, and there is the problem of how to solve the Kulikov - Merrill pair and the 4th line who had problems against FLA. I think it's too much to solve this quickly. 4 - 2 win for Tampa Bay Ltirning.

 

 

[ClusterChuck]

Having Benn in should help take some pressure off Merril, If he's in.
Could really use Spurgeon tonight.
Doesn't matter who's in goal, It'll be another rampage on them.
Odds against us taking one of these B to B games but If we played like the 2nd 1/2 of last nights game, Hopefullly a 4-3 win.

[Alexandron]

Hopefully, we will get at least one point from this game. 4:5 our loss in OT ( SO).  Lightning lost yesterday in regulation and will be desperate to win on home ice. Probably we will see our Kahkonen vs their Elliott. I am hoping also production from our team same as their team usually do. As well as to play well in defense to protect Kahkonen in the net. 

[ClusterChuck]

On a side note, I'd really like to see the NHL remove that Trapezoid rule. So what if the goalie can play the puck.
It adds some chaos in such a planned set play mentality. Opens up more potential scoring which is what the NHL wants, Right?
Aslo it might cut down on the dump n' chase.

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

These meetings always makes me feel like a mom watching her two sons go at it.
Fortunately, I only have to deal with two of these per season....and any other time?

If both make the Finals....

[bbgarnett]

[TallyTigerShark]

How in the hell did we not score right there??

[ClusterChuck]

Passing habits continue.

[TallyTigerShark]

[ClusterChuck]

That's a goal.

[TallyTigerShark]

I think that’s a goal.

[bbgarnett]

Hola.  Flipped game on in the middle of a slight skirmish.  My timing seems right, but Harts is in the box.  Call it both ways, stripes.  Need a kill now
