Its my first radio gig since college. Anyways...the Wild will be tested as they have been the last few games; can they defeat a team that is clearly going through some really tough times right now? Or will the team ease up, let Anaheim hang around and turn this into another example of how this team just doesn't seem to get it? Enjoy and discuss...

But as I listened driving home I never knew what Wild player was on the ice for any of those 3 goals. * Look for the Wild to dump Stalock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good one haha. Im having some cocktails tonight and this mess of a team isnt anything unexpected. What set me off was dumb and dumber acting like a couple minor trades would kick start this country club of veterans. They play slow, cant score, and look lazy. Besides parise of course he plays hard if nothing else. Praising Suter for playing half speed alot of minutes dosent cut the cheese for me anymore.

Coyle, Parise, Staal, EEK, Greenway, Foligno, Kunin, Aberg, Brodin, Seeler, Spurgeon all -1. Suter and Pateryn -2. They are certainly making this a team effort...
