We called up Chaffee to sit? Guess DeWar earned it...

According to Russo, he will play together with Dewar and Duhaime tonight. 

[Alexandron]

Predicting Wild win with a score 5:4.

Talbot will be in net tonight.

[ClusterChuck]

No Foligno means an even worse Grief line.
Just saw a stat that there are 3 teams that have never had 50 win seasons. Kings, Wild and Kraken.
Would like to get off that list....
Have 4 games left we should win and 3 that'll  be tougher.
Tonight we Win 5-2 

[Tomdog]

This looks like the wild will be a 2 line team. 3rd 4th lines don’t impress. I hope they prove me wrong. Hopefully 3rd 4th lines can be stifling defensively and Price does not play like Price can  play. 

[Jimtown guy]

This could be a tough one with who is missing. Obviously the first line can’t play like they did Sunday against the Sharks. I think they get back to be the dominating force that we have gotten use to. Wild 4-2 

[Icechipper]

So 44 Deslarias joins Bugsy on the Ek line. That's a tough line.

[wildstars95]

a tough play off 4th line would be ---  D-lo , Moose ,McLeod for calgary and blues series only

5-3 wild in a noisy 20,000 french filled arena tonight 

[Wild Thing]

I think Kevin Fiala continues his surge tonight in Montreal and gets at least 3 points in the game. A rested Cam Talbot will do well and the Wild will get a 5-2 victory tonight.

Jost may not play so that’s why he’s been called up 

[Confrontational]

Whoa - Montreal has as many loses as Wild wins...  My how they have fallen from the stanley cup final last year...

[Jimtown guy]

Let’s see what the pp looks like tonight 

[Jimtown guy]

Fiala!!!!!!

[ClusterChuck]

The Hot one nets it.

[Jimtown guy]

Nice when the penalty killers aren’t aggressive like the Skarks were. Zucc could of had a hotdog and coke waiting for Fiala to get open 

[Wild Thing]

Fee- Fi-Fo -Fum Fiala!!!!!!!

[ClusterChuck]

Bit of a make up call on Brodin after Fiala's  missed call maybe.

[ClusterChuck]

That slapper by Gogs might of been the hardest one all season by anyone.  

[ClusterChuck]

Kinda weak...After that slash too.

[Jimtown guy]

Get that to the hot guy Geadruea

[ClusterChuck]

Fiala's either auditioning for teams or Trying to force BG in resigning him.
