[tigervixxxen]

Avs site has him listed at 180. I doubt they update those stats in years anyway.

Wild fan here, just curious why a lot of you think this is a must win for the Avalanche? you are up 6 points on us with 2 games in hand, even if you lose in regulation you are in a good shape

It is still a 4pt game. All divisional games are must win.

I don't see it as a must win. I'd be happy to get 2 points out of this very difficult road swing. Would it be HUGE to win tonight, absolutely. I'm not expecting it though.

St.Louis against Winnipeg isnt a must win at this point for St.Louis but I get your point we are still close in the standings with a lot of hockey left I would say good luck but I am hoping for a Wild regulation win

None sense. You don't have Andrew Brunette

Even if Avs lose this must win game, they need to win the next must win game.

he actually is on their staff, working as hockey operations advisor or something. and as power play consultant iirc.

that was the greatest win in Wild history! I still remember like it was yesterday. I remember we were settled into the 6th spot on the last day of the season, I thought for sure we were going to play Vancouver in the first round because all they had to do was beat a bad team at home to win the division and they lost and Colorado ended up winning the division. I thought we could beat Vancouver so I was upset, I didnt think we would win a game against Colorado. You guys got us back a few years later

 

[Kale Makar]

Yup

That was him? Never realized that was the Monsters playing...

 

[The Pwnerer]

This is a must win because the Wild are quite depleted and their last three games they've been outshot badly (take a look at those box scores) but still managed to win. We need to take advantage of this opportunity.

 

[hockeyfish]

I just want to see Wilson have a decent game. He is fast running out of opportunities.

 

[Avs_19]

Roy must really not like Hunwick.

 

[AvsfanJack]

What happened to letting someone play A game before ripping him a new *******?? Give Stollery a chance before you shred him. You never know. Can't be worse then Holden.

Who's ripping Stollery?

Thank god

The entire first page is how terrible our bottom pair is(Wilson and Stollery). Im excited for the guy.

If he wasn't good enough to make our defense before all these injuries...

 

[tigervixxxen]

That's not a reason. Neither were Bigras or Siemens.

They are 18 and 20. This guy is 26. I don't want to bash him before he plays. But you can't expect anything good.

 

[Freudian]

He's around 11th-14th on our NHL/AHL depth chart, which isn't that impressive to start with. He's an undrafted 26 year old playing his first NHL game.

A miracle on ice would be nice but I'm not going to hold my breath. Of course I hope he does well, both for our and his sake.
