  Hmmm I shall predict 5-4 wild win ...

[Alexandron]

Predicting a difficult Wild win 6:5 in SO. Important to avoid penalties, as well as to control better Robertson, Hints, Benn, Pavelskiy. 

[Icechipper]

Suter and the Stars practiced outside at Tria while Wild indoors.  Also, Middleton back?

Lmao...I was going to post the same score. 
Why not? When chasing the division leader we usually gratiously hand a point when winning the game.
Wild win 6-5.

[bbgarnett]

4-3 stars in OT

0:1 now. Pretty good team.

[bbgarnett]

Damn Walker that was impressive 

[bbgarnett]

Need to put Walker on the PP

[ClusterChuck]

Zucc could have skated right to the net and shoot yet he forces another seam pass. 

[Alexandron]

Nice chance from Boldy in a ping mode.
