Are we going to see the team that imploded against Dallas and Vegas, or the team the ground one out against New Jersey...

[ClusterChuck]

If we stick with the same lines I think we can win this one but it may take more than 3 goals. Seem to be higher scoring games with them.
Wild win 4-3

A must win revenge game on our home ice. Predicting Wild win with a score 5:4 (possibly in OT or SO). We should start to score more goals. Wish to see hat tricks more too. Besides Zuccarello we did not see any other hat tricks. So far we placed 158 goals for this season. Most top NHL teams who are pretending to the successful playoffs season produced around 20-40 goals more than we are.

First line center to second line center to fourth line center to scratch in about a week. There’s only two further options.

Looks like Steel might be the odd man out tonight with Reaves returning.

[Icechipper]

Line brawl?

[wildstars95]

 time to take a bite out of the cat's tonight 4-2 wild "and hope they all leave with acl's intact"

[Alexandron]

I still like Steel. He had few nice chances last night. That line showed a nice spark. Not sure if Reaves will be able to do the same in his game tonight. I just found out that Wild lost last 4 meetings against Florida. That means team must show the solid character in winning this one.

[Tomdog]

I hope they give Reeves his 800th game and then sit him until an injury requires his play.

Steel  with Dewar and Shaw was working. 

But then again anyone, besides Reeves, with Dewar and Shaw has worked.

I would say Reaves has just been largely unnoticeable in his time here.

I agree 

[Jimtown guy]

Great kill 

[ClusterChuck]

Just too hot for Geenway to handle or catch.

[ClusterChuck]

Classic 1 extra pass...

[IllaZilla]

Someone needs to tell the Wild there are no style points on the power play…

[ClusterChuck]

Ref's will be raising their arm a lot tonight it looks like.

[wildstars95]

can see it already the wild won't be able to play their game with these clown ref's

I don’t care if they raise them a lot, just so they are consistent when they raise them. And none of that “even things out” nonsense…

[Jimtown guy]

Somebody want to tell the fellas the game started 

[wildstars95]

the wild are playing like the vegas /stars game      so far.....

[ClusterChuck]

Right there is why Kap hasn't got many points lately...Could've shot but went for the pass. Also many of his soft touch passes are getting disrupted.

[wildstars95]

for fark sakes put one in now 

[IllaZilla]

Why is there no one in front of Bobrovsky?

[IllaZilla]

Chaserville? Seriously? 

[ClusterChuck]

That's what it was...We're luring Bob to sleep, Then pour it on.
