Quite possibly one of the most winnable games in Wild history. An Oil squad missing it's no. 1 center playing in a building they can't win in playing a goaltender they literally haven't won against on the road ever. If we somehow manage to lose this game, hell, even manage to let it slip to OT, I'm gonna flip the **** out big time.

There won't be enough alcohol in St. Paul for if we lose this game

Just gonna repost what I posted this afternoon because I like it.

#mnwild is 19-1-0 in its last 20 games @XcelEnergyCtr vs. EDM, outscoring Oilers, 69-32, and needing OT or shootout just 3 of those games.
http://twitter.com/mnwildPR/status/327513244874964992
#mnwild is 14-7-2 @XcelEnergyCtr this year and has 21 sellouts, 19 straight. Current avg. attendance (18,782) is highest in team history.
http://twitter.com/mnwildPR/status/327513302655717377
#mnwild Niklas Backstrom is 17-0-0 vs. Edmonton @XcelEnergyCtr with 4 shutouts, 1.34 GAA, .948 SV%, allowing more than 2 goals just twice.
http://twitter.com/mnwildPR/status/327513395110744064
Mikko Koivu (36-109=145) is tied with Marian Gaborik (59-86=145) for most power-play points in #mnwild history.

The most important factor in this game? Edmonton loses 2 draft positions if they accidentally win this game. They are far too experienced in tanking to let that happen.

Face palm if we lose this one.

If all you do is facepalm if we lose this one I will seriously congratulate you because the rest of us will be doing a hell of a lot worse things than facepalming.

The Oilers have lost 9 of 10, all in regulation. So their tanking skills are top notch right now.

I'll bet they somehow win the Draft Lottery...again.

A place.
If we lose this one I will facepalm so hard that my head will get to Alpha Centauri in 10 years, and my arm will become the new power source for the Golden Age of humanity.

And of course none of that makes any sense does it?

I sometimes get the feeling that I should watch the Wild play the Oilers

This game needs to have a much better outcome than that "very winnable" game against Calgary last week that ended up as a loss. Lose this game and they will not only be backed into a corner, but all bacon will be tossed in the trash. NO MORE BACON FOR YOU!

I want to be singing and skipping down Kellogg after that game. Make it happen, boys!

The Oil are in full tanking mode. They're pros guys, we've got this one.

3rd period, 10 left, tied 2-2, puck somehow deflects off Schultz into their own net. Refs choose to overlook the clear kicking motion...

Book it.
