The Blues haven't struggled or a lack of offense, but their goaltending has been kind of ugly.  Minnesota must be willing to battle their way in close against St. Louis.  We should be relatively well-rested considering we haven't played since Tuesday.  MNSOTA wrote up the game preview, I'll be on the post-gamer.  I already have a fair amount of extras for people to check out.  IMO, this is a game the Wild should and can win.

This should be a winnable game if the Wild decide to show up for the first period. If we were playing STL a week ago, I'd say "it's in the bag: kick 'em while they're down and collect the two points!" But with STL 3-1-1 in the last five, it's not gonna be that easy.

 

Interesting that Wes Walz mentioned how much more giddyup the Blues have after recently benching a 1,000 game veteran.. is he dropping a subtle hint about anyone on the Wild??

We could only dream....   personally I don't know what to expect, I am just hoping for a good game!  (Mainly because I have had so few chances to watch live so far this season. 😜)

Puck drop in about two or three minutes...

Blues are not where they want to be in the standings, it is Minnesota's job to see they stay there!

Let's go boys....  If Minnesota can keep their wits about them on defense, contain Blues players, they should be able to take advantage of shaky Blues defense and less than stellar goaltending.

Go Wild GO!

Hey, Mega, long time no see! Good to c-ya back!

 

I dunno what to expect tonight, either. Usually, I have a decent idea, but drawing a complete blank tonight. Then again, that Brodin ENG call last week is gonna be hard to top...

Yay.......Mega is here. If you ever make it to the Hillsboro area, they have a new brewery and brew pup. We highly recommend it.

The menu is simple.....sandwiches and pizza. We had really, really good sandwiches, but we've heard nothing but good stuff about the pizza.
