Current 5th place in the Central Division (Wild) vs 5th place in the Atlantic Division (Canadiens).  Predicting Wild win with a score 5:4 in OT(or SO). Wish also to see at least one point from Rossi and multiple points from Kaprizov, Zuccarello; Boldy out of this game. Some key players are missing for us because of injuries which gives for the youngsters an opportunity to demonstrate their talent. Probably , this game will be not an easy one.

Interesting fact, that we are going to play on Thursday against the 5th place in the Pacific Division (Kraken).

Boldy out? Not what you meant?

Sorry for your misunderstanding. I wish to see multiple points from Kaprizov; Zuccarello and Boldy during the game tonight. Hope, also to see hat tricks at least for one of these players. 

[Alexandron]

It seems Mason Shaw will be playing with Boldy and EEK in the 2nd line tonight. Fogarty will play in the 4th line.

He earned that with his effort last game.

Going to miss at least 1/2 this game. Anniversary dinner.
I'll take a shot at a 4-2 Wild Win.

So.....party of one tonight?  I mean on the board, not at your anniversary dinner 

[wildstars95]

how do you pull a stat like that out ....3 goals on 60 shots 

[Alexandron]

I like Duhaime's play. He is getting better and better. 

[wildstars95]

looks like goals will have to come from the top of the circles / slot game ...

tough sledding out there 

[Alexandron]

Nice saves by Fleury.

Our 7 shots vs their 15 after the 1st period. Not enough.

ya kind of shorthanded tonight though 

[ClusterChuck]

Hey all
Outshot badly...Fluery must be holding down the fort while the team wakes up.
Any news on Hartman other than UBI?
Like wrist and how much time away?
 

[Icechipper]

Radio feed only tonight too busy to watch. Tom Reid a great storyteller. Also, radio crew did nice job of telling Fogarty's story. Edina, Notre Dame etc.

Maybe Wild will improve their offense after intermission. Still I think all our lines were playing hard to score during the 1st period. Allen was playing well too for Canadiens.

[ClusterChuck]

Shaw !! 

[Alexandron]

SHAWWWWW!!!!!

[ClusterChuck]

Good goal !!

[EmptyShelf]

Kap has other-worldly hand eye coordination.  

[wildstars95]

that hand eye coordination though

Not Weird...Wild
