I bet Mike Yeo will be canned if the Wild dont win this one

 

[TheeNorthStar]

The lineups are beautiful ...

A+ GDT!

 

[Antsman41]

I hope Chicago scores like 9 goals tonight.

 

[tomgilbertfan]

Wild will play poorly in the 1st and be down 0-2
Play well in the second and pull to 1-2
Play mediocre in the 3rd and lose 4-2.

 

[Antsman41]

Yeo will pay Q $1,000 to institute a 6 pass rule for the Hawks tonight, and we still lose...

 

[Sharppi]

I'll watch this game somewhat, I want to see Selännes jersey go up to the rafters though.

There's no way he's fired after a road loss at Chicago. Plus Fletcher has recently stood behind him again.

Of course Fletcher is...his job is tied to Yeo's fate.

Perhaps, which is why it won't happen.

 

[gphr513]

Feeling like we're going to get shredded tonight.

 

[Poacher]

I'm warming to the idea of a higher draft pick...

 

[FVM]

Will watch the Teemu ceremony before tuning into this game.

Via Ducks Twitter - Coverage starts in Southern California on Prime and the rest of the US via the NHL Network at 4:30 PST. Canadian peeps - TSN3 will have the ceremony starting at 5 PM PST. Those of you in Finland can watch it live on Viasat (Tweet implied they will be using the TSN feed).

 

[Jesus comma Brodin]

I have a bad feeling. We are a terrible hockey team and Chi lost to EDM on Friday, they're gonna be pissed.

So I have been watching good hockey to prepare myself. Anyone with NHL Network can catch the end of the Wheat Kings vs Hitmen. 3-3 with 10 to go in the 3rd.

 

[BurnsyMN]

I'm excited for this one. Lose these next two and the following two games are against Buffalo and Arizona. Phenomenal opportunity here for the Wild to fall deeper into the standings. Say it with me now "We want McDavid" *clap clap clap clap clap*

 

[Billy Mays Here*]

Continue the tank moral victories boys!

0-2, should read 2-0..........1-2, should read 2-1...pet peeve, NEVER smaller number first, thats what my wife says and she doesnt know a hockey stick from a broom, lol !

 

[123TripleDoge]

Schroeder out tonight? Sounds like yeo is embracing the tank. Sadly falk is out

 

[Sharppi]

Oh wonders, I'm drinking again. Great job Wild, lets do this! Moral victory!

That's not a rule.

 

[Wild11MN]

I think it depends on the context. If you're just announcing a score, like in ping-pong, you should say your own score first. (10 - 13)

If you say 'the Wild are losing x-x', I think you should say the bigger number first, as you are stating who is leading already.

Ah, who cares, this discussion is probably better than the game will be tonight.

 

[llamapalooza]

Was supposed to have a (first) date tonight but she just flaked out on me.

Goddammit. Guess I'm stuck watching this ****show again.

Talk about an unfortunate change.

So pumped up for next season this game.
