I'm going to the game tonight and I swear if some knucklehead around me starts with that booing **** I'me going to tell him to S T F U.


Can someone tell me where Heater is? Is he a healthy scratch, or is he still banged up? I was looking forward to seeing him.

Jackman is going to suit up (perhaps)? Crap, I should bring my stuff from Lyke's and heckle him during warm ups.

I'll be there tonight, which means a loss. 0-2-1 against the Ducks all time, they ruined my Minnesota homecoming too.

A win would be awesome, but with my history, we go into Minnesota-sports-fan-pessimism-mode.

A meh team? Haven't the Ducks finished like top 3 in the conference in the last couple years?

They won their division the last two years but they've also choked pretty hard in the playoffs, and they were a lottery team in 2011-12. They're maybe the biggest wildcard and I never know where to predict them, so I probably underestimate them a little too much.

But still...they're Anaheim. Even when they won the Cup I had a hard time taking anything from Anaheim seriously. There's just a little pride that dies when you lose to a suburb, particularly an LA suburb.

Edit: The other thing about the Ducks, and maybe the bigger reason I always feel like we should beat them, is that it never seems like they really outplay us. For whatever reason, it seems like it's always gaffes by the Wild, and not stellar play by the Ducks, that does is in. Every game against them feels like a winnable one, but we never seem to pull it out.

Ducks are really good. Or so I have been told. Think we win 4-2 with a PPG and good Kuemper shows up. Vatanen-Stoner pairing should be roasted by our strong forecheck. Let's hope. Oh and I hope someone nails Kesler.....

Question for you guys. Is the Brodin-Folin pairing or the Scandella-Spurgeon pairing expected to be out more often after the Getzlaf/Perry line?

I'm guessing Yeo will match up Scandella-Spurgeon with Getzlaf/Perry as often as he can, so Brodin/Folin should matchup with your 2nd and 3rd lines more often.

Haha booing for 12 hours.

Sounds like a season's worth of bad powerplays.

Ugh. Our powerplay sucks.

Always tough facing the Ducks.. Here is hoping our defensemen can keep up the good work against a team we always have trouble with. Go Wild! Hockey on a Friday night! Let's do this!

Great, my cable company doesn't have Wild live on their alt channel yet.

Might have to start this game on the phone to inform them of this oversight.
