GDT: 11/13/2013 - Minnesota Wild vs Toronto Maple Leafs - 6:30 PM - FSN+/TSN

[Sharppi]

Alrighty, Wild hockey!

Lets get back at the Leafs. 2-0 Wild win, Parise & Pommer with the goals.

 

[Jongdo]

How do you mean a bold prediction? Heatley has 0.44 goals per game.

This season?

 

[TZM]

This season?

Will come.

stupid fsn+ UGH

how the **** can people watch the wolves.... especially on tv. sheeple

I'm not a huge basketball fan, but I tune into the Wolves when the Wild aren't playing and their actually pretty entertaining to watch. They have some decent pieces in Love, Martin, and Rubio and scoring is not an issue. They will be good all year as long as they avoid the injury bug.

I was flipping through and heard that yesterday. I get it. There's a change in demographics in the cities over the last 20-30 years and obviously losing the North Stars hurt momentum. I don't quite buy the "fragmented" argument so much as just the Wild hasn't established itself yet.

But then I shut it off because, as he often does, Barreiro was just driving the argument into the ground. You made your point, get off it and move on already.

Definitely agree. Think someone asked about this the last time Minnesota played Toronto - the Wild do not equal Minnesota hockey - and that sometimes can be forgotten. But still, playing Toronto is supposed to be a big deal. Playing the Cavs since LeBron left is as depressing as other teams playing the Wolves.

The NBA isn't basketball. It's TMZ hype ball. It's the epitome of what's wrong with sports these days.

Anyways, back to the hockey talk, hopefully that dude has his HQ stream again. Although, it wasn't that great last game

I would take college basketball over the NBA in a heartbeat. But I still love the Wolves. Rubio, Love, Peck, now Martin. There's a great nucleus to finally be relevant. We were still smarting over the loss of Marbury and a true point guard for years and years. Then we suffered without a shooting guard. Now we have a point guard, shooting guard, small forward and center who are some of the best in the game.

Bottom line for me is while the Vikings suck I will focus more on the Wolves. They will make the playoffs this season, mark it down, and I can't wait to see it.

However, regarding tonight, the Wild should be on given the match up!

 

[Minny Lakes]

Wolves on plus 10 times.
Wild on plus 7 times.

I was curious.

What I wouldn't give to get off work early and go to this game. . .

I grew up playing basketball and still love playing it but for the most part I have zero interest in the NBA.

I agree that this Wolves team is really fun to watch though, I watch them pretty much every night the Wild aren't playing. Rubio and Love are two of the most unique players in the league, Pek is a beast, Brewer is entertaining (for good and bad reasons) and Kevin Martin has far exceeded my expectations. The hype is warranted, I think they'll make the playoffs as a 6-8 seed. Typically I don't have a problem with them getting FSN over the Wild, but Cleveland over Toronto???? C'mon man

I was curious.

Are those lineups you have for the Wild confirmed? I'm in charge of the GDT on our end so I just wanna make sure I'm accurate.

Btw, for Toronto, it was initially mentioned that Fraser is in the lineup while Rielly isn't, BUT Rielly may go in anyways in Ashton's or Bodie's spot so we may be dressing 7 d- men.

Harding's sick so Backstrom will start. Everything else is close enough.

 

[Jongdo]

Empty netter dosen't count.

 

[GopherState]

 

[Avder]

The minus?? **** the wolves.

Also I swear to god I made almost this exact same get once when I was just starting to make gdts.

In fact when I get home later I'm going to check.

Dang . Is it the MS or flu/other?

Thanks. As soon as I get home and have access to my photoshop I'll make the changes. Now to find a good pic of Backstrom to crop out...

Your GDT was beautiful. I laughed at the Parise part

 

[T4ylormade]

Can anyone tell me what channel the game will be on ( just checked FSN 668 and the wolves are playing; what a joke). I have DirecTV if that matters!

Thanks!
