Well I sure hope they can start to score tonight but last year playing Minny was terrible. We need a goalie that can pull out wins and not let in soft goals. Why not play McIntyre??? At least let's see how he does can't be any worse that what we are seeing.

What soft goal did Rask give up last game?

I will probably miss most if not all of this game too. My niece's HS volleyball team made the state tournament and I'll be on hand tonight to cheer her on.

So-

Drop the f***ing puck already! :mad:

The new Minnesota Franchise and Columbus are the two most bland franchises in the league in my opinion.
At least the Wild have made it to the conference finals in their existence.

I sort of rooted for them for a while there when they acquired Rolston.

I’m starting to see a pattern. Cassidy puts Agostino in the shootout, Sweeney sends him back to Providence immediately. Postma plays in the final minute with the goalie pulled instead of McAvoy, Postma is gone. I’m not complaining, both are good moves by Sweeney.

I agree - both Postma and Agostino need to take a seat and let someone else have a crack at it.

Haven't scored on these guys in a while - I sure hope that changes tonight. I also agree with the article I read that stated Pasta needs his own line. Give Bergy and Marchand Bjork back and leave it alone.

Give Pasta DeBrusk and let the tryouts begin until Krejci finds his way back.

I will watch this game after 8pm - so I will miss a period and a bit.

I think even Cassidy saw Miller/Postma isn't working. Postma only played 9 minutes last game. I'm sure Postma can be fine, but he's not good enough (i.e. McAvoy to make up for Miller needing to play his off side).

Has anyone ever sat in the promenade seats? How are They?

Customer sold me 4 for the game tonight, so my wife and some work people are going. Never been up there.

Sat up there after my college buddy got tickets through his school. Personally loved them. Not sure if all the boxes (or whatever they're called) have food in them, but ours did. It was great. No one in front, great view up there. I'd sit there all the time if possible.
