If we follow the instruction "Keep It Simple Stupid", we might experience some "Thrills in the Night"

 

 

But it won't be easy. We need everybody skating and willing to win. The hopes of a win are slim, even with the best game we can bring.

Hope, we will see Kahkonen in the net for both games against Vegas. 

Hope, we will be able to stay out of penalty box.

Hope, we will be able to produce better than it was last time.

Hope, we will be able to neutralize Stone, Pacioretty,Tuch.

Hope, Fleury will be not as good as he is now.

It is a revenge game on our home ice. Vegas winning streak should be stopped in regulation too.

That and net front presence. Take Fleury's eyes away.

All 4? It seems he has a pair on his back side too.

[bbgarnett]

That’s how we’ve been watching this season. 

[MNSOTA]

At least we’re spared from Walz’s inane comments tonight. 

[MNSOTA]

I guess we’re not skating tonight.

And Ryan Carter just said the exact opposite thing.

At least he didn’t tell us some ridiculously long-winded story to tell us. 

[MNSOTA]

Man, the PK looks disorganized. 

[MNSOTA]

Even without Stone and Pietrangelo, Vegas’ power play still looks dangerous.

Watch the Wild A$$ passes (no pun intended).  It seems like we throw many passes behind or into the skates.  Kap is the best passer on the team, with Zucc second (and there is a lot of room between those two and everyone else.  There is sloppiness to our game that MUST be cleaned up.

 

FIALA!!

[bbgarnett]

Fiala!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fiala Finally !!

[MNSOTA]
