No Brodin, so...its going to be tough one to try to hold down McDavid / Draisaitl.  However they did play last night, although the Wild have a reputation for being lethargic when they've had a bit of a break.  Enjoy the stats folks!  

[Icechipper]

Shaw rewarded for effort moves up w Boldy and the Geek line is back!

[ClusterChuck]

Such a strange schedule this season...In Nov, A 4 day off and just now a 3 day off stretch. Good for our injury issues but tought to get into game shape I'd imagine.
Hope the guys enjoyed it since there'll be 3 back to backs in March.
Then the Yotes had a 14 game road streak...Weird. 

Given the stats this one could be high scoring, I'll go big with the Wild Winning 6-5
(it'll probably 3-1 Ed instead.)

I will go with 5:6 Wild loss in OT.  All our lines must to produce if they want to get at least 1 point against such a speedy and productive team, which always plays till the end entire game.

6-4 wild tonight against McJesus and the oilers 

[Tomdog]

Watching on Hulu tonight. 
So far the pregame by espn is awful. 
Didn’t realize how good we have it with Ballys. 
If these guys have there way it will be Edmonton 10 wild 0

[ClusterChuck]

Back to a good feed tonight. Thank you Volokit, Even if it is ESPN's broadcast. 

[JR Ewing]

Dude in Minnesota killing it with the anthems: not dragging them out or being self-indulgent and putting his own twist on it.

 

[ClusterChuck]

Moose was actually trying to High stick Leah.

[MNSOTA]

Crap we get to listen to Leah Hextall tonight. I’m not amused. 

[JR Ewing]

Very quickly, before puck drop: between back-to-back nights (where, due to injury, the big guns played almost 28 minutes) and Minnesota being a team that plays a heavy game, I see thing going the Wild's way. They *always* play the Oilers really well.

TF Boldy 

[Jimtown guy]

How does Boldy miss that?

[bbgarnett]

Ping

[JR Ewing]

I have about 6 hairs left on my head that aren't white, and with Minnesota missing an empty net and then ringing the iron, they may all be gone before the game is over.

I can relate unfortunately 

[Jimtown guy]

I’m suppose to be at my peewee practice tonight but I got the crap that’s going around. Sucks

Unfortunately, that’s still too much.

But it could be worse 

[Tomdog]

I thought this was a national feed but evidently it's the Edmonton feed, because all we hear about is Edmonton's woes.

[Jimtown guy]

Stupid shot followed by a stupid penalty

I get that. My preference is, for any game unless it's the Bruins, I prefer the other team's feed.

 

[Jimtown guy]

Stay out of the damn box 

[ClusterChuck]

ESPN guys are excited now.
