I hope Bäckström is ready to play tonight. Not feeling good about this one.

Hope the Wild prove me wrong.

 

[rynryn]

when are you ever feeling good about any game?

dumba got sent back so we should win this one handily.

 

[tomgilbertfan]

Really wish we had a better 3rd pairing.

Not sure what you mean, but I'm usually pretty optimistic.

Anyway, back on topic. Are Bäcks and Allen confirmed starters?

 

[Nharris31]

The wild got called boring again I think this is the third time.

 

[Victorious Secret]

Lose by 5. Get rid of Yeo.

Thank you.

Hi all!
yes, Allen is confirmed for us. Ott won't play and Porter takes his spot.

Thanks for the info!

 

[ewoksonhoth]

Got a good feeling it's not going to be a fun game to watch. Not sure of the result, but it's not going to be fun.

 

[Minnesota]

Thank you.

You're a ray of sunshine tonight.

What's up with the negative vibes?

I've have a hard time believing we are going to drop this game at home after coming off a brutal performance vs the kings. I hate playing the blues and am glad we evaded them during the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Glad Falk and Bickel are in the line up to help put those pigs in place.

 

[NHL1674]

Falk is in? Hockey God's help us!

Or to get embarssed by Tarasenko.

 

[Sharppi]

Stl line with 2 goals and Stastny EN, 3-1 Blues. That smug *****.

 

[StealthClobber]

4-2 Wild. Nino with the GWG.

 

[PariseNation]

5 year deal for scandella!!

 

[Al Lagoon]

ProsserBallardFalk have all had their moments this season - Prosser is coming off a good game in Dallas. Falk is useful in physical contests. Hopefully with Brodin back Yeo will be able to manage their minutes wisely.

Really wish we had a better 3rd pairing.

I do too, but I'm glad GMCF didn't saddle the team with a bad contract, from an over-inflated D market this past summer.

 

[tomgilbertfan]

Sounds like Prosser-Ballard will be the 3rd pair.

No Bickel.

 

[gphr513]

LaPanta and Greenlay's staches, hahahaha

 

[Avder]

Hi all!
yes, Allen is confirmed for us. Ott won't play and Porter takes his spot.

No Ott? Neat. Less ass-hattery to worry about.

Yay puck drop.

 

[Avder]

Hard to get a feel for this one so far.

 

[gphr513]

Gophers on the laptop, Wild on the TV. love it

 

[BusQuets]

Wow this is one if the quietest gdt for a while?
