This should be an interesting game.  Detroit has improved, but they're still young but they have a fair amount of skill throughout their lineup.  Husso has usually played pretty well against us.

Predicting Wild tough win in OT 4:3.

5-3 wild

Let's have some breathing room tonight with 5-2 Win

Just like in the Ottawa game, the Wild find themselves against an up n coming Eastern team, led in the GM chair by Steve Yzerman this time, who are looking to find their way and be competitors for a playoff spot.

I don't think the Wild will find the Wings to be as big an offensive threat as the Sens were, but I think their overall game is better rounded than Ottawa's, and their goaltending might be better.
Another nice test for this Wild group to see if they can work through a competent defense and pull out yet another win.

Let's go Green, Red n White!

Kaprizov: "Did someone say, Detroit has good goaltending??? Hold my Vodka, Komrad"

1-0 Wild! Nice start!

[EmptyShelf]

$9 MM bargain with the goal

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

A little too much scrambling in the defensive zone by Minnesota for my liking.
Looking at that, I can see why they gave up so many goals earlier in the schedule.

They are fortunate that it is the Detroit grinders getting the chances, but they can't bank on that all game, nor against better offensive teams for that matter.

Wild need to play calmer in their own end, not just flick pucks around in panic....it'll avoid lots of heartache in the long run!
Let's go boys!

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Man....Kaprizov is so automatic out there with his decision making...so precise...
With all due respect to his linemates, he's GOTTA be thinking, "Come on, Guys! Pick it up! Need some support here!"

livetv is ok but all I can watch is a 5" x 4" screen...
This sucks but it's something.

[ClusterChuck]

Too much passing there.

LOL...sorry bout that.
My husband DOES tell me I am not as helpful as I can be sometimes 

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Man...that Foligno really is a dump truck out there!
He doesn't care who he bowls over.... Detroit forwards, defensemen, Boldy...... everyone, just get out of his way...  

[ClusterChuck]

Wow the Detroit annoucers are botching Wild names...Fo-Line-O and Calen Anderson. 

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Yech.... broken down coverage finally bites MN in the rear.

Give them a break, will ya?
They JUST NOW came to grips with Zetterberg, Federov, Osgood, and Ciccerelli.  

[ClusterChuck]

Our passing isn't as sharp as last few games especially leaving the zone.

That part won't show up no matter which feed I try. It briefly shows then disappears.

***If I mess with it repeatedly, I got Full screen, Lots of clicking and redirects to do it tho.
