MNSOTA wrote up the game preview, and I'll be on the post-gamer.  The Panthers are 2nd in the Atlantic, but there is a huge gap between them and 1st place Boston.  Still they are a formidable team offensively...defensively, not so much.  As the Wild offense has finally started to come around, they've been playing better defensively too.  So this should be another good test.  Enjoy and discuss...

Speaking of Boston in first place - I see yesterday they signed ol' Charlie to 6 years/31.5mm/5.25mm AAV...  Not bad - but his numbers must have improved once playing there...  

 

Let's hope the Wild show and play like they did on Sunday - the Panthers are a tricky team...

Let's hope. Go WILD for the wild impressive unpredictable wins! Like they did last Sunday.

I don't know. He's on pace for 15 goals and 30 assists right now. Not much better than he did with the Wild. Talking to another Bruin fan he's not too upset with the contract, but he did say that there are times where he doesn't even realize Coyle has been on the ice...

Looks like Kahkonen is starting, Donato to the bench for Rask...

Sad that one of them should sit because of the Foligno insertion. I think Donato and Rask already have some signs of the developing interesting chemistry. Same dilemma who is going to be benched Wild will have soon with our another defenseman Pateryn. He was sent recently to the Iowa Wild just for conditioning assignment. Seeler is already benched for awhile, because the other our defensemen are playing not bad so far on the ice.

The bad penalty against Dallas...the leash is going to be tight as long has he keeps making careless mistakes like that.  Plus he might be considering Rask's greater amount of experience against teams in this little road trip.  Soucy has more than made me forget about Nick Seeler.  If Soucy was playing like crap, then you'd give Seeler some games but right now...Soucy just keeps playing better and better (knock on wood).  

[TonyOday 31]

Seeler should be in but as per usual the Wild cannot have a gritty team, must be an NHL mandate. Foligno needs to be in the lineup, hell he is one of the few that actually plays with heart.

Why?  Is Seeler better than Soucy?  

[Bear 127]

no way Seeler should be in place of Soucy hes playing a great game lets hope he keeps it up

[bbgarnett 580]

Yay for kakko boo for Donato being out. Anyways won't be around tonight as I'm still under the weather a bit. Might post here or there from my phone.

And Nanne is in for the color job tonight.

[MNSOTA 583]

So last winter, at Aldi's they sold these packets of fondue cheese....I just stuck them into the freezer because we weren't ready to do fondue then. So tonight, I thawed one out to have with some chips along with sandwiches for dinner. Holy bucket, Aldi's got the cheese right, even using kirsch (or cherry brandy) as one of the ingredients. I'm impressed.

Seeler takes too many stupid penalties. 
 

And as far as playing with heart, what about Hunt, Hartman, Eriksson-Ek, Kunin, etc?

[Alexandron 280]

Parise had a nice shorthanded chance.

Mmmm...fondue....

 

I found a nice combination of blueberry covered goat cheese with these really thin Meyer lemon cookies from Trader Joe’s...perfect with a nice Pinot Noir...

[IllaZilla 1,262]

I hate that rule...dumbest penalty ever...

[MNSOTA 583]

The nearest Trader Joe's to me is Madison, and I hate driving in that town. I would rather drive backwards and blindfolded in Saint Paul.

Well, it doesn’t have to be TJ’s. But that combination is really tasty...
