Thanks for preview. Actually the game is schedule for tomorrow. It is another playoffs testing important game for us. Wish we will be able to get at least one point out it. Our goal was 5 points from 4 road games against playoffs teams. So far we have 4 points. I would like to predict our win 5:4 , maybe in OT.

Yeah I realized this later. I’ve gotten so used to several weeks of games on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, that it was force of habit. Well it’s one less thing I have to do early tomorrow morning.

I came on to check the Nashville thread for Dumba update and saw the Bold St.Louis GDT ....What...What it's Friday today?? 

After being Taken out behind the woodshed  last game I hope the guys get back to their strengths. 5 on 5.
Now it's not about getting 1 more point but we'll need 2 to keep sole possesion of 2nd place and Home ice.
Wild Win 5-2

I’ll be at the rink in Monticello during this game. Blues are one point behind the Wild. Could this be a playoff first round preview? Time will tell. Got a feeling the Wild get back on track and come out with a hard fought 4-3 win in overtime 

[bbgarnett]

3-2 Wild 

[bbgarnett]

Now is not the time to be getting injured guys.

[bbgarnett]

wow never thought I'd see Middleton with a net front drive 

[Tomdog]

time delay tripping

[bbgarnett]

wow PK going to be our downfall yet again

[ClusterChuck]

Weak call. 
 

[Tomdog]

I hope the wild learned their lesson there.

Their PK is bad enough that they can't take any penalties

The was a ref creation there. Can't do anything about that.
Hopefully the refs don't make any more of those kind of calls.

Yes that probably should have been a noncall, but they need to remember the home team will get the benifit of the doubt.

They can't afford to give anything.

[Tomdog]

My point proven.

[ClusterChuck]

Really ?!? 

[bbgarnett]

Wow 

[Tomdog]

I hope the league has some type of referee review system

[ClusterChuck]

You know when you're on the ice for an icing...Stay out there. Unbelievable.

[ClusterChuck]

Kap time...

[Tomdog]

So far this game is giving me flash backs to the winter clasic, minus the freezing part

[Tomdog]

What a crock!

[ClusterChuck]

Embelishment?...Kinda like the 1st one...
