FIFY...but seriously...its got to come from them.  I am not convinced they all really want it bad enough.

@CreaseAndAssistand @MNSOTA, how you two find the will and the effort to craft all these pre-game write ups, sit through the games and then do a post-gamer for this team is beyond me.

 

Hats off to you two.

Somehow my liver is still intact. I am so looking for this season to be over on April 6.

So, who are we cheering for in the playoffs, both East and West.

 

For the West (if they make it), Arizona.

For the East, Islanders.

[MNSOTA]

Why the hell is Bitetto playing?

[bbgarnett]

WTF was that Dubnyk just stay in your net

[bbgarnett]

Wow Suter is dumb if he thinks that he plays better when he gets more minutes.

[Tomdog]

I just don't know what to say about that, it's so spot on, it kind of says it all!

[MNSOTA]

I think it's time for some booze. I have some rosè in the fridge.

[Tomdog]

What do you think suter's +- would look like if he was paired up with a guy like bitetdo for a few years?

Not that tough to have a good +- when you're paired with spurgeon, brodin, and Shea weber

I started an hour ago, I have a contractor over finishing some work so I haven't been able to pay attention to the game fully yet.

[bbgarnett]

Greenway Baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

[MNSOTA]

GREENWAY!!!!!

[Megawild]

GREENWAY!!!

[MNSOTA]

Oh hey, technical difficulties.

[Tomdog]

I don't understand, Washington doesn't do the lazy drop pass zone entry

Sums up the Wild season pretty succinctly.

[Tomdog]

Zucker is snake bit lately

[bbgarnett]

Damn Zucker so close

[Megawild]

You'd think Zucker is working on applying for a Vikings kicker position...

[Tomdog]

I gave a co-worker a goal and the wild that the caps would win tonight.

Pretty much sealed a victory for the wild.

Every time I take the wild they lose, when I take the other team they win.
