The Wild called up Dakota Mermis, many are expecting some trade to go down.  Lots of Brock Boeser talk since his agent has talked about finding a way to make the money work somehow.  So who knows what may happen before today's game.

Mermis was called up due to illness on the team. Someone got the flu or ate some bad chicken...

 

And is it me, or is it that no matter who Columbus drafts or trades for or signs as a UFA, they are always a garbage team?

Columbus has felt like the red-headed stepchild of the NHL since 2000.  I guess Brodin is out tonight, so Mermis and Addison draw back into the lineup.  

 

That must just chap Evason's hide...

Brodin looked way off last game so that might explain it if he wasn't feeling well.

Brodin was just placed on IR, out for the next four games...

The Boeser talk meaning we'll be a Banker again? 
Maybe that's all part of the process to cozy up and help teams so eventually one will take Greenway and Dumba off our hands.😁

Well, hopefully they get more than a fourth round pick two years from now for playing "banker"...

Being a back to back we'll see both goalies. I'd stay with Gus tonight to keep the vibe going and familiarity of his style.
No need to change things up goalie wise with a team we should beat.
Wild Win 4-2.

*edit...and of course we start Fleury. 🙃

Duhaime!!!!!!!!!

I had just finished up dinner and had the game going but I guess it needed to be refreshed as they we're still talking about the starting goalies...and at the same time saw your post. :P
