GDT: 02/01/17 - Wild @ Calgary - 9 PM CT / 5 AM Finland - FS-N

[Hall of Faber]

CALGARY -- The Minnesota Wild will try and continue its good start to a four-game, nine-day Canadian road trip when it plays the second of back-to-back games in Alberta on Wednesday against the Calgary Flames at Scotiabank Saddledome.

The Wild finished off a 5-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday, its first game back from the All-Star break. The win extended Minnesota's road points streak to 14 games, a stretch that started here on Dec. 2 in a game the Wild lost 3-2 in a shootout.

Minnesota is trying for its first win against the Flames this season in its final try, posting a 0-1-1 mark so far.

Contributions from up and down the lineup highlighted the Wild's win in Edmonton, as Minnesota got a pair of goals from Tyler Graovac, and goals from Zach Parise, Jason Zucker and Chris Stewart.

"That's how it's been for awhile and I think it's been a key to us winning and our success," Parise said. "You get three goals from your so-called fourth line, that makes a huge difference."

It's definitely way better than the 2 AM, 3 AM games (6, 7 PM Central time). Trying to wake up for this one, here's hoping I don't smash the alarm clock too hard at 5 AM.

Thanks, I've been following Wild for a couple of years now but no one to share my mindbreaking thoughts with.

Welcome! Another Finn in the HFWild ranks

Soon there will be more Finns on HFWild than Minnesotans.

 

[MuckOG]

It's road trips like this that make me very, very happy the Wild are no longer in the Northwestern Division.

 

[gphr513]

Probably starting to get close

 

[MoeTheHobo]

Well I think the reason why Finns are so depressed especially in winter is because they stay up all night watching the Wild lose during the annual mid-season slump. But this year I feel a bit happier for some reason

No kidding. I absolutely loved these Western road trips in college, because 9pm was about the time I was starting to perk up for the night.

But now that I'm in the real world... No bueno

So suicides on a notable decline in Finland for some otherwise unexplained reason?

I find it's way easier to work tired tomorrow than it is to try to watch the game with still-goddamn-awake kids tonight.
