I agree with you MNSOTA. Tonight game is going to be a really  tough test for our team. Hope , at least we will have a similar speed  and energy to withstand Flames as we did  the previous game against Jets. Still not sure about the python - maybe not yet? My hope regarding the finishing of the Wild's season having some life yet.

my worst nightmare with this roster losing to cowtown in 5 or less

[wildstars95]

hoping not to lose any players tonight playing this dirty team 

[bbgarnett]

Man this is going to be a tough game, I was already feeling tired at 7.

[Megawild]

Hopefully there's enough excitement to keep you awake @bbgarnett

[Megawild]

OMG the tone of that organ is awful!

 

And can you go through it any faster?  

[bbgarnett]

man this guy sings the anthems rather quickly.

[Megawild]

GMTA @bbgarnett!!

[Megawild]

To be honest, I would rather have the anthem done at double speed than half speed like you see way too often for NFL games!

[Megawild]

Looks like Boo gets a couple of strippers sitting behind him tonight...

[bbgarnett]

wonder what happened to Parise

[Megawild]

Me too, huh.

[bbgarnett]

Staal Baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Megawild]

Hopefully it was just some bad poutine or something.

 

and STAAL!!!!

 

NICE!

well that could constitute Lower Body

[Megawild]

True!   

[bbgarnett]

wonder how Calgary is feeling now that they didn't get Zucker like they were supposed to. Since it sounded like they were white hot angry after the deal didn't get completed/go through even though it was basically agreed to by both sides.

[bbgarnett]

fack

[Megawild]

Yeah Fenton still worries me, if the rumors are true, it would have been a pretty bad trade.   I am a fan of Zucker and would prefer if he didn't go somewhere else.   If he does, it better be for great value.

 

And then ugh.

[Megawild]

Wow that was a bunch of contact on Doobs.

[bbgarnett]

Sweet

[Megawild]

NICE!  NO GOAL!
