2-1...7-0...5-4 OT...Who knows??
Just score some for once.
Wild win 5-3.

Yesterday we played against 1st team in Central Division. Tonight we are going to play against 1st team in the Pacific Division. A must win game for us if we want to make playoffs season. We must be able to beat the best teams in NHL if we pretend a higher playoffs standing. For this game predicting 4:3 win.

Not for once. Permanently. ☺

[wildstars95]

  no idea who how and what will score tonight 

[ClusterChuck]

I'm guessing on a bizarre goal tonight. Either side.
Maybe even Reaves gets his first. 

[bbgarnett]

Wild win 2-1

[bbgarnett]

LOL and here we go again

[ClusterChuck]

Damn deflection.

[Tomdog]

That's unfortunite.

[bbgarnett]

OK Carter 1 SOG in about 8 minutes yeah that's definitely a decent start.

[ClusterChuck]

Carter already making excuses on how that could be deflating...Why? It's 1 goal. You're not going to get a shotout often so we have to score a few now.

[Tomdog]

All right, I got this, I forgot to get my Wild hat and glass out.

Now they'll go.

[bbgarnett]

at least were figuring out now that were not a playoff team and should probably sell what we can at the deadline.

[Tomdog]

Should we start a drinking game? 

Drink everytime they talk about supporting each other?

[bbgarnett]

seems like were on our backhand a lot when taking passes.

But then we would have to buy what he's selling. I don't think they have many picks left.

Or when we win a faceoff.

That's not a lot of drinking.

[bbgarnett]

if only Boldy and everyone else for that matter ripped shots like that all the time.

[Tomdog]

Too bad no one was able to catch up to Boldy.

Yeah, They need to pass less for that to have a chance.
Even Dumba chose to pass from a nice area to shoot just now.
