I’m sorry but this looks like a loss waiting to happen. 
of course since I say that they will probably win. 
My skill at predicting is as bad as Greenway’s play right now. 

[wildstars95]

 make or break game for the wild , to see if they want a 4-6 game playoff 

[ClusterChuck]

I heard no Brodin tonight...That certainly won't help our chances.
Could easily be down 4-1 late and we'll still pull the goalie with 4+ mins to go and lose 5-1.
But for some reason this team wakes up for these games so i'll take a shot at Wild Win 4-3. (OT) 
At least get a point is a sad goal. 

[bbgarnett]

5-4 wild win in OT

[Jimtown guy]

I’m done predicting. Just go kick Suters and the Stars ass 

[ClusterChuck]

Good call starting Gustav.

[ClusterChuck]

I'm getting lucky with these feeds...My Verizon internet is having Data issues ever since they rolled out 5G. Pretty much everybody with Verizon is seeing slow speeds on the data side.
Having to reset modem often each day helps a little bit but it's a Verizon hardware issue with their towers.

Warmed up a bit watching some Canucks at Rangers...now for the main event:
Wild at the Western top rated Dallas Stars!

Go Wild GO!

Well I guess better than playing teams like Yotes and expecting wins.

[bbgarnett]

Wrong net Merrill 

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Merrill put that on Gustavsson.
Just WHO'S side is he on, anyways!

Merril was having a good shift.

Flip a coin...:P
Is Steel centering Boldy since Hartman is back to L1? My feed's a bit fuzzy and I can't see #'s that well and haven't heard his name.
