GDT: 4/26/13 - Oilers @ Wild - 7:00 PM CDT - FS-N+, FS-WI

[Giles Ferrell]

I'll probably get yelled at by a 60 year old lady to sit down....again...

I hate that. You feel the need to stand, but no around you does, and they yell at you.

Well if it has to be this late, could anyone picture a better team to potentially clinch a playoff spot against then the Oilers?! I would love it! Wild win 6-1 and we all can laugh as we read comments on how boring the Wild are and how the Oilers should be better then the Wild.

Picked the wrong night to go to the Twins game.

 

[jedisports]

Score quickly and early, set a a tone, make the fans know this is going to be a definite win.

 

[Karl]

As Randy Savage was born Randy Poffo in Columbus, this Jackets fan is taking this post as some kind of karmic good luck charm.

Yes good luck that the Jackets will beat the Predators and the Red Wings will lose the Dallas.

 

[Avder]

Why the devil does FSNorth think a game this big needs to be on the plus channel? The Twins should take a back seat to the Wild at this time of the year without question.

 

[Giles Ferrell]

Per Russo, Rupp is in tonight.

 

[Wild Caniac]

It's ****ing Edmonton. Just win damn it.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Yes good luck that the Jackets will beat the Predators and the Red Wings will lose the Dallas.

That, of course, works too, and would be the best outcome. But I'm just trying to cover all bases.

 

[OpRedDawn*]

OMFG WHY FSN+

Such a joke. Hope they lose

 

[Uberdachen]

Robotic space lions, please beat down the unentertainable dinosaur poop juice. Amen.

 

[nilssont]

Bäckström in?

 

[Billy Mays Here*]

Bäckström in?

Almost 100% yes.

 

[TZM]

Mitchell on the third line? Thank you. Even though it would be even better if Cal was on 3rd and Mitchell on 2nd.

 

[Randy BoBandy]

I will be at this one. First game of the year, hopefully I'm not bad luck.

Because the Twins get much better ratings.

It does suck that the Wild potentially clinching a playoff berth is relegated to the overflow channel. It also sucks that this story is the 3rd or 4th biggest one going on in the Twin Cities. But State of Hockey or not, that doesn't change the impact a playoff berth will have.

 

[AKL]

Not even mad about FSN+, I wouldn't be able to watch it anyway.

 

[nilssont]

Almost 100% yes.

Thank you.

 

[Giles Ferrell]

If its any consolation, this is the final FS-N+ game of the year. Perhaps there will be fewer of those games next year.

What stories are bigger? College sports are over, Timberwolves didn't make it (did they?). What's left?
The NFL draft maybe but that will become an afterthought if the Wild clinch. The Twins playing respectable-but-not-great early-season baseball?


Shot in the dark, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Twins got priority on FSN in their contract in which case it wouldn't really matter what the bigger story was.

>owner shell out all dat money for parise / suter

From spending the morning listening to talk radio: NFL Draft, NFL Draft (it bears mentioning twice because it is that big of a story), Wolves firing Kahn and replacing with Flip Saunders and then a mix of Twins/Wild. I'd place the Wild above the Twins, however, it is not a romp.
