MIN @ CBJ 3-0
MIN @ LAK 0-3

Watch them:

Mikko Koivu #9
The Wild captain hasn't scored a single point in 7 games. He hasn't scored in 9 games.
Now would be a good time to start scoring.

Matt Cullen #7
Cullen returns to the lineup. He was injured April 1st against St. Louis.
Can he get the second line - and the whole team - scoring again?

Don't want to throw the must win word around but tonight is a must win.

I've think we need 3 points in the next two games to help this team. We should be able to beat both calgary and eddy now its time for the boys to step up or troll the fans even more.

 

[jedisports]

Definitely feel it's a must win!

Maybe the team will come out loose and fired up. Calgary has nothing to play for so is in spoiler mode. The Wild have everything to play for. We better act like it!

 

[BusQuets]

Can't wait to see Brodziak playing 18 minutes while Zucker and Granlund are being benched.

 

[forthewild]

I wonder what happens to MiG if cullen is playing tonight? Anyone know if they have to send him back since he's an emergency call up? I guess they could move him to 3rd line and go something like

Zucker MiG PomPom

2nd line being

PMB Cullen Seto

and 4th being

Clutter Brodz Mithcell

 

[Kaptain]

If we don't win this one, we're ****ed.

 

[tyratoku]

If we don't win this one, we're ****ed.

You mean, if we don't win...we lose?

 

[jedisports]

There's a good chance that Dallas, Phoenix and Columbus all lose tonight given the match ups. I like how we can especially track Chicago/Dallas an hour before we start.

 

[Victorious Secret]

All depends on Koivu.

 

[Mumbler*]

The Flames have nothing. We need to stomp these guys.

 

[roon]

If Cullen is able to go it should be

Parise - Koivu - Coyle
Zucker - Cullen - Seto
Granlund - Brodz - Pomms
Clutter - Mitchell - Rupp

 

[Wasted Talent]

The Flames have nothing. We need to stomp these guys.

They have nothing to lose and no pressure. I wouldn't completely count them out especially considering how we have managed to lose games lately. But I like our odds.

 

[Victorious Secret]

9-22-3 all-time against Calgary in the Saddledome. But 6-3-0 since 2010 while doubling their goals per game. However, we have lost the last two there.

 

[Grover]

If Cullen is able to go it should be

Parise - Koivu - Coyle
Zucker - Cullen - Seto
Granlund - Brodz - Pomms
Clutter - Mitchell - Rupp

Agreed.

 

[Puhis]

I think the guys are motivated... They better be.

 

[Up7Yours]

So our all-time most expensive acquired player is demoted to the 3rd line *sigh*
depressing

I think it has more to do with balancing the lines than his performance, to be honest.

 

[BusQuets]

All depends on Koivu.

Yeah it's kinda hilarious that we have acquired all this talent but in the end this team goes as far as Koivu does.

 

[Piffles]

Really?

I think it makes our lines much more balanced and is much closer to 3 scoring lines with 1 energy line. I like it.

 

[SwimToTheMoon]

If we lose tonight, I plan on kicking a few babies

 

[this providence]

I have no earthly idea why Yeo wants to get Clark into his line-up. The guy is terrible. Both Prosser and Falk are markedly better players.

This is shocking to me. It probably does have to do with lines but still. I wonder how he feels about being captain of the Sabres to going down to the 3rd line for the Wild.

What? No just no...

 

[Fin9*]

wild win 5-2.

 

[Ladde]

Must win and Bacon.
