GDT: Chicago Blackhawks @ Minnesota Wild, "Rivalry Renewed", 1/30/13, 7:00 PM CST

[llamapalooza]

So...Wild fans are down after a suspect win yesterday, call nothing but doom vs the top team in the NHL, the Wild respond with their most complete game of the season in front of a stellar Backstrom in the pipes, and all was right in the world again.

We're a fickle bunch.

if this team wants to have any future success, we have to lose these close games in regulation.

I see what you did there.

Nicely done.

Bold strategy, Cotton.

It wasn't pretty, but the Wild proved they can skate with the best and win (ok hung around but still). Cullen had his best game tonight, but still needed to shoot more. Very nice to see the second and third lines contributing, just wait till all three lines start clicking. Brodin is just solid love that guy. This team is coming together.

Good fookin' game there, rivals.

 

[Fel 96]

Cullen the hero (aside from Backs obviously). Unreal.

 

[Jaykay]

Good fookin' game there, fellow Wild fans.

YES!!!!!!! We got outplayed a lot of the game but a win is a win regardless!

Out played but never looked out of sorts...they played the game they had to in this game...looked good in their own zone, and had great chances all up and down the lineup.

It's a win to be pleased with!

I want us to be in the same division so bad, I want to develop a rivalry with the Blackhawks again.

 

[massivegoonery]

Wow that was an interesting way to win. Nice to hand Chicago their first loss.

Anyways, my thought during the game- Yeo needs to bust out the duct tape and wrap some player's hands to their stick.

What for is piffles like piffle? Look like piffle.

 

[Jaykay]

Cullen had a much better game, Brodin and Suter were excellent, and Backstrom was flawless.

Making the gal drive home thoughts:

The Granlund bashing is reaching new levels of overblown.

Tom Gilbert = Beast

Okay, I've got to ask you:


Why in the name of all that is holy do you have a PONY in your avatar?

Granlund had his best game tonight, I just wish he could hold on to his stick. Gilbert was awesome again.

 

[Ladde]

This was the first game he kept losing his stick. I lolled at 3rd time it happened today. But he didn´t play that bad of a game. Had some nice offensive chances and didn´t fall around too much.

Inspired by the music during Cal's post-game interview on NHL Network:



(because I can never get videos to work)

*Never mind you got it.

Okay, let me try this again, because videos are not my friend. Anyway, inspired by the music in the background during Cal's interview:

Somebody had to say it.

 

[MNSOTA]

Thanks Karl.....sorry everyone else for the double.

 

[tyratoku]

Gilbert, Brodin, and Suter were probably the top three players that game. In that order.

I swear, if that defense keeps playing the way it has been last night and tonight...

Good things are going to happen this season.

Genius

 

[WILDTATE10]

I thought Granlund was pretty solid today

Brodin... guy is awesome. wasnt fazed at all by toews, kane or hossa

 

[Karl]

Thanks Karl.....sorry everyone else for the double.

No problem. Took mine down, perfect song love it.
