Believe I heard we will see Sundquist draw in. I'd bring Addison in too for the power play. Hell, I'd give Rossi a shot. At least he won't be in the penalty box.

I’m heading to a Fargo Force playoff game tonight. I need a real live hockey fix. So will miss Wild game although may catch third period. Just have the feeling the season ends tonight losing 5-3. Per usual hopefully I’m wrong 

[Icechipper]

Checking scores while working Kansas show at Shooting Star Casino.

[Icechipper]

Zuccarello listed as game-time decision by Daily Faceoff......

[Icechipper]

Wild reported to have recalled forwards Beckman, Petan, Rossi, Swayman and Walker, defensemen Hunt and Mermis and netminder McIntyre.

[Alexandron]

Hope the game will look like a playoffs game but not a regular season game which we were able to see last game since Foligno major penalty. Not sure if I will have a chance to see this game because of my work late evening, but still hope for the win at least in OT.

[Alexandron]

Anyway of the result tonight (win or loss) I would like to say that this version of the team I liked the most in the last 15 years especially after adding Johansson, Nyquist, Klingberg, Gustavsson who have a real talent.

[ClusterChuck]

Need a GM 3 effort tonight.
Lots of good sticks, Good bounces and Xcel puck luck. 

Silver lining so far is the Jets are out in 5, No sweep but close enough.

I don't understand the point of that, they aren't going to play.

[Icechipper]

Nothing going on in Iowa, really, this week. Coaches up and gone......

Maybe just to give the a feel of the atmosphere around the guys who are?

[wildstars95]

  guessing 4-2 wild

[Tomdog]

I really want the Wild to win this game ,but if they can't I hope they at least make adjustments to improve their chances.

Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a differant result is insanity.

The really good teams make adjustments during the game.

I have not seen this from the wild.

[ClusterChuck]

Splitting Kap and Zucc, Maybe to set up Boldy more.

Zucc has been useless so anything would help at this point.

Alright Wild fans...I am settled in, got my burger and fries (thanks to my hubby who broke out the grill even on this overcast, rainy day!), got out my box of cliches!

Time for some Wild hockey, because, tomorrow is not guaranteed!

Let's go boys! 

[ClusterChuck]

Cross passes are hot but I like the intensity.

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Not liking the way Minnesota is handling the puck in their own zone at the start here.
Bad things, man...only bad things can come from not handling pucks cleanly!

Sloppy Joes here 

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Boldy shooting more?
More of that please!

[bbgarnett]

UM how do you miss that 

[bbgarnett]

LOL just great

[ClusterChuck]

Crap...
Suter was humping Hartman's leg and no call.
