Well one in a row ain't bad

[CreaseAndAssist]

This should be an entertaining game.  Can the Wild follow up a decent game with another one?  They certainly were skating with a lot more purpose last night than what we had seen the previous 10 games or so.  Another 2 points this team has to find a way to have at the end of the night.

Young = Fast and creative; vulnerable but hell bent

Old = Mold and predictable; stagnant but honorably stagnant

With a chance to make it TWO in a row!!  What a concept, eh? 

 

Detroit, like Minnesota, is in the process of a tear down as well. They dealt one of their guys today, defenseman Nick Jensen.
Who has the better of what is left?

 

Red Wings have actually played decently in recent games.....till someone or a couple someones make some boneheaded play that costs them the game.

 

If Minnesota can keep their boneheads in check longer than Detroit can theirs, then that dream of two in a row can become a reality!

Early PP for the Wild

[MNSOTA]

Who's ready for yet another winter storm? I had to go fill the gas canister in prep for this one.

[Megawild]

PPP#2 incoming!

It's been a crazy month, I think we may get 5 or 6 here.  We've crushed the record for february already!

 

I have almost 2 feet piled on top of my shed right now (and on the ground)

[IllaZilla]

Dubnyk needs to be fined for every boneheaded play he makes. My goodness. 

[Megawild]

Nice save Granny!  WTF doobs?!?

[Megawild]

At least Hunt can put it on net from long range...

Our mailbox is completely buried. It's a good thing it's painted black so the front of it stands out and USPS can actually see it to deliver our mail.

[IllaZilla]

Can someone please explain why Bitetto is on the ice instead of Prosser? 

[IllaZilla]

And I know prosser is in Iowa.

LOL yeah mine too!  I doubt I could put the flag up if I had too... it's a little mail cave right now.

So many unanswered questions surround this team.

[Starofthenorth]

Kunin! Dubnyk needs to stop playing the puck.

Yeah, I had that thought as well today. But since all the bills, including the mortgage and car payment are paid online, I never put outgoing mail in the box. And in the rare case that I DO have something that needs to be mailed, I'm not that far from the post office and I use the drive up mailbox.

 

KUNIN!!!!

He seems pretty useless at this point.

Same here.

[IllaZilla]

Kind of amazing what happens when you drive the net and don’t just settle for perimeter shots...

[Megawild]

Wild skating well again.   I am very impressed with the development of EEK

[Megawild]

And Kunin for that matter!
