MNSOTA wrote up the game preview, I'll be on the post-gamer.  The last time these two teams played one another, the Wild were a struggling club that found ways to lose games.  Minnesota now is the team that is finding ways to win games.  For a non-serious injury, Mikko Koivu has been put on injured reserve and so the team called up Nico Sturm.  It will be interesting to see if he and Brennan Menell get a chance to play tonight.  Enjoy and discuss...

Michael Russo wrote in his tweet, that we will see same players as in Tampa with some slight changes in the lines (Kunin back to 3rd line; Rask as a center for a 2nd line,Hartman as a center in the 4th line), so no Sturm and Menell yet.

I almost killed everyone in my town/county, and in particular the law enforcement tonight. Went to go pick up our pizza, but forgot that tonight was our stupid Christmas parade. Law enforcement forced me onto some weird detour that took me south of our town and I have no idea where I would have ended up had I kept up with it. I don't live on a main drag in our town.....I thought the stupid parade would have gone through downtown proper, as it's a way for businesses to get advertisement. Nope, the stupid parade was routed on more of the outside perimeter of our small town, which makes no sense at all.

 

At least I made it home in time to see Donato's goal.

 

And of course the two minor penalties which now has Carolina ahead.

Just now, IllaZilla said:

What is it with the Wild just letting guys camp out in front of Stalock and not even attempting to move them out of the way of tying them up...

 

Yeah, but that would require OUR guys to be physical, and we can't have that.
