I wrote up the game preview today.  I am not sure if we'll write up a post-gamer.  No matter if the Wild win or lose they need a much better effort than they gave on Thursday.  A lot of players and coaches were saying all of the right things as they usually do after a rancid loss, but we have to see that talk translated into action or I think we do...have some serious concerns for the rest of the season if they look as slow and tired as they did against the Avs.  Enjoy the preview!

Historically the Wild is a much, much different team at home.  Hope to see that tonight!   I attribute that a lot to having the last change, which allows BB to hide some of the Wild's glaring speed and defensive deficiencies.  I love Big E. Staal, but when it comes to playing defense, he's an old school scorer, who's constantly staying way high and looking to break out early instead of dropping down low defensively.

We'll see.  There wasn't much good to talk about last game.  Sounds like they're sticking with the same lineup as Thursday.

I'd put in Ted Brown's kid instead of Hendricks.  

[IllaZilla 970]

I shall be at the game tonight, so I can witness firsthand either a remarkable comeback or a self-induced implosion...wish me luck!

If you see Nate Schmidt ask him if he shops at GNC...........

GOOD LUCK!!!

 

Anyone else think FSN's Katie Emmer is gorgeous and a very effective, articulate talker?   I see her jumping to NHL Network sooner rather than later!

Looking forward to a bunch of pucks on net tonight. If the Wild can throw 35-40 shots on goal, I'm good with a hotly contested loss. But 13 shots in 2 periods, or 21 for an entire game, not so much..

 

GO WILD!!

[Jimtown guy 310]

LETS GO WILD!!!!!!!

[bbgarnett 514]

even if we can get 35-40 shots on net they need to be high quality, we get way too many shots blocked and or the shots are so low quality that it wouldn't matter if we had a 100 as they'll give us those shots all day.

[Valentine1618 19]

Well I’m excited for hockey to be back. Hope the wild can keep the home ice advantage going.

Pedro Dumba

[IllaZilla 970]

In person, both teams seemed a bit disjointed. 

[McMahon 6 112]

Yep. Not a lot of flow or puck possession either way. Thank goodness for Dumba's cannon; 5 shots ain't gonna cut it in the second period.

[bbgarnett 514]

I feel Vegas isn't going to be anywhere near where they were last year.

[IllaZilla 970]

Lots of no look passes to no one in particular. Boudreau needs to work on that passing thing. 

[IllaZilla 970]

Round 2 coming up....
