MNSOTA wrote up the game preview, I'll be on the post gamer.  As rough as it was for this team against Pittsburgh, I think this game could even be worse.  The Lightning are on fire lately, and playing that deadly combination of putting 4+ goals easily per night and not giving up much defensively.  That doesn't bode well for the Wild who are playing about as bad defensively as they have all season, especially on the penalty kill where they can't they're are almost money for giving up (at least) one power play goal per game.  What do you all think?

I think it is not the best time for the Wild team history which already created few questions among media and fans: to tank or not to tank? to trade or not to trade? to fire the coach or not to fire him ASAP? According to our poor standings we have got earlier the last place of Central Division( in January), in comparison to the previous year (if I remember, in March). We badly need some crucial changes in the team. Are we capable to make them?

I am very skeptical regarding a tonight game result but still planning to watch.

I'll be viewing this game like a mom watching her two sons go at it.

Is this how Mrs. Tkachuk feels when the Flames play the Senators?  😁


No, this is like deciding between the son that got a PhD, married a Miss Universe, and has two prodigy children and Ricky from Trailerpark Boys...
