[Lapa]

Interesting lines for sure.

4-2 Wild.

Granny x2, Nino and Ballard

Johansen, Letestu

 

[W75]

Btw Granlund faces his ex-teammate Ilari Melart.

 

[SPMaximus]

will any of the preseason games be streamed?

 

[nickschultzfan]

Interesting. That looks like Nino is getting a stronger look than Granlund and Zucker. Probably just because he's new.

 

[GopherState]

will any of the preseason games be streamed?

Not by Minnesota.

 

[Engebretson]

Granlund and Coyle both being tested at center. Should be interesting.

 

[Paul Bunyan]

I'll be there live, should be interesting. Since it's a split squad bit, they should split my price too.

 

[Hall of Faber]

will any of the preseason games be streamed?

My TV Guide has a tape delay for Thursday's game at Winnipeg. It's a real tape delay... 2 am EST Friday night/Saturday morning on NHLN. At least we will get to see the new jerseys in HD!

 

[mkoivu9*]

Anyone want 4 front row club tickets with parking pass for tonight? Cheap

 

[dwanmaster*]

Suprised that Backs is playing

 

[Scoutguy77]

Frankly, Id be surprised if we didnt win by a bunch, they arent bringing a strong group, alot of guys will shine tonight.

This. You guys will absolutely light up Dansk. As long as Melart scraps (preferably with Cooke) I'll be happy.

We aren't exactly bringing a proven group either.

Ours just have names people know.

 

[llamapalooza]

So basically the locks/names are in Columbus and the guys that are getting scrutinized and evaluated are here.

 

[rynryn]

This one isn't a given and nothing should be read too much into a loss. Individual performances are going to be key. I expect our D is going to be a huge mess.

This game could still go either way. Our lineup is far from impressive tonight too. Mostly kids. Like rynryn said, don't go reading too much into a loss if it happens.

It's just a measuring stick for the youth movement.

 

[GopherState]

This one isn't a given and nothing should be read too much into a loss. Individual performances are going to be key. I expect our D is going to be a huge mess.

This. Much more important seeing how Granlund/Coyle play down the middle, how Nino adjusts, how the 4th liners play, etc. The score doesn't count for a reason.

 

[Fel 96]

On paper, the Wild look stronger but I wouldn't underestimate those CBJ guys especially Atkinson, Johansen and Murray.

Does anyone have a KFAN audio feed without going on iHeartRadio?

[SPMaximus]

[GopherState]

And that my friends, is how you know it's preseason.

Hey that's former Golden Gopher and preseason assistant captain Keith Ballard!

 

[NHL1674]

Does this help?
