A regular season game against the Jets AHL team strengthened with a couple of NHL players... Should be an easy game. Add misery to Manitoba. 6 - 1 Wild win.

[Alexandron]

I am predicting Wild win with a score 4:2.

[ClusterChuck]

Never heard of LetterKenny until today.  
Another Should be a Wild Win. I'll go with 5-3.

Now let's see what the coaching staff does with Talbot and Kahkonen for at least Feb.
- 1: Tandem. Alterenate each game unless one has great stats against a certain team.
- 2: Hot hand. Possibly determined by what the coaching staff sees in the daily practice.
- 3: The not so favored Starter/Back up roles. Could be dangerous with this schedule now and then down the stretch.

Thanks MNSOTA for the reason dumba is out. Proof he shouldn't fight. Also stop thugging people around like he shoved that one player lately to the ice after the whistle and get the extra 2 mins for no reason. If you can't back up your actions, Don't do those things.

Since I’m sick and can’t make practice I’ll be here for the game. Wild continue to play well and get Lou back. Wild 5 Jets 3 

[Icechipper]

My favorite teams, having grown up going to WHA and NHL Jet games and Minnesota North Stars and now Wild games. What a ride for these two great ice hockey areas. Both draw much of their love from outstate- and out-provincial base. It will go to shootout with a Wild win. We can say they are equals among strong skating teams.

[wildstars95]

4-3 wild in ot 

[bbgarnett]

4-1 Wild 

[EmptyShelf]

I say 3-1 Green.  Kap, Fiala, and a D with goals.

It takes about a season for Letterkenny to get good. It’s like if there was an orgy with King of the Hill, Napoleon Dynamite, Slapshot, and some other shows/movies showed up.

Yeah, and we’re only in season 3 or 4. 

[MNSOTA]

Oh my. I had no clue tonight’s game marked the halfway point of the season. Seriously, this is how confused I am by the schedule. 

[Jimtown guy]

Damn offensive zone penalty

Jets taking it to Minnesota early on.
Defense looks disheveled.

Kahkohnen has kept this thing scoreless big time!

Wild need to settle down, slow things down.

[bbgarnett]

LOL thought he said Kobasew for a second.
