Rangers looked damn good against the Bolts Tuesday night. Definitely a Cup contender. Boys will get a big test right off the bat 

[ClusterChuck]

Curiosity and optimism will rule for me and to help keep expectations at a reasonable level.
So many unknowns so it'll be fun to see what pans out.
Wild have opening night energy at home and win 4-3. 

[bbgarnett]

Tough test for sure but Wild win 4-2

[MNSOTA]

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. 

[wildstars95]

70 powerplay goals or bust this season 

5-3 wild tonight 

[wildstars95]

the background noise is terrible   can't hear our talking heads

[Alexandron]

Wild win in OT 3:2.

We had our driveway replaced. Completely torn up and started new, got money for new siding and what have you from all the hail, Thirdly had a car totaled due to hail.

[MNSOTA]

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

Great, let’s see if the penalty kill is improved. 

[bbgarnett]

damn that was actually a sweet goal

[MNSOTA]

Well that was inevitable.

Not yet. ?

[MNSOTA]

You would think the music/game ops people would have thought it prudent to remove Kanye’s music from the playlist. 

[Alexandron]

Fantastic chance, but Shesterkin is too good. So far I do not see anything in offense from other lines but only line#1.

[bbgarnett]

Kaprizov doing all the work right now. 

[wildstars95]

 let's see if this powerplay is for real

[MNSOTA]

Nobody in front of Shesterkin. 

[bbgarnett]

LOL are we never going to learn

[bbgarnett]

Well that was an awful 2 on 0

Where’s the fun in that?

[bbgarnett]

hmm maybe put Gus in to start the 2nd just to wake us up.

[ClusterChuck]

So many opportunities and not cashing in.
