[Icechipper]

So no Erickson-Ek?

[Icechipper]

Also, Hartman still day to day? Guess we shall see.....

[ClusterChuck]

 We need to get L1 and L2 scoring.
I'm  annoyed by the usual "We're back home which is important/Our fans give us energy blah blah blah"
Then why did you hand over HIA to Dallas with 3 games left 'resting' players when other teams geared up by playing???
I expect to see some of that energy right off the bat.
Wild win 4-3

[Alexandron]

Game by game a must win game.

[Alexandron]

According to Russo. Gustavsson and Klingberg are going to play tonight. EEK, Hartman and Walker under question.

That would send a really nice message.

Missing Ek and Hartsy again is tough. Hopefully Kap is a bit more healthy because he just hasn’t been himself. Still want to see Suter driven through the boards. Gus plays lights out and the Wild find a way 4-2

Looks like they both are game time decisions

Fans at the X should cheer loud when Suter loses the line or gets hit (Hopefully often) . Instead of the lame Preds/Stars booing everytime he touches the puck.

[bbgarnett]

Double E, Hartman and Klingon are in.

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Then I saunter up for some relief....

 

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

I think the crowd is chanting "Suuuuuuuuutes"  

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Oh wow...
Suter gives it away, Foligno with a glorious chance point blank but can't get it past Oettinger.
Would have been sweet to score off a Suter turnover... "Suuuuuuuuuuuuute"  LOL
