MNSOTA wrote up the game preview and I'll be on the post-gamer.  Two clubs, strangely similar to one another in some ways.  Record, goaltending numbers...similarly situated at where they stand in their division its kind of uncanny.  Historically the Wild have normally struggled to win IN Columbus.  The Wild are coming off a horrible game against the Coyotes and at least prior to this one seem to be saying they'll be ready for tonight.  But I'll believe it when I see it.  Enjoy and discuss!

CLB is quietly having an  excellent season.   Like KC pointed out, a lot like the Wild so far this season.   It's going to be a tough, grinding game, I think.

 

Be cool to see the Foligno brothers punch it out! 

 

IMO when Bobrovsky is on he's the best goalie in the NHL.    Right now his numbers aren't anything great, hopefully they become even a little worse after this game!

I agree, they always seem to have trouble with Columbus, for whatever reason.

 

Hopefully Boudreau kicked them in the pants over the standing around. It was one game, but like Russo said, the team as a whole has started a disturbing trend of taking the third period off when they have a lead...

 

Be nice to see a solid win after that fiasco at the X...

As @MNSOTA pointed out...she wrote it.  Give her the credit.  No worries, but I just want her to be credited for it.  I realize on the article it says I wrote it, but its all her on most of the previews unless we tell you otherwise.

I would agree, that would be a refreshing thing to happen after Tuesday's debacle.
