ST. PAUL -- Having gone four days without playing a game, the Minnesota Wild is officially ready to get back at it again.
The Wild had an off day on Sunday then has practiced three days in a row. After a 0-1-1 start to the regular season, its had to sit for the past four days and stew about its start to the 2018-19 campaign.
And despite earning one point in its last game out, Minnesota missed an opportunity to secure two by just 91 seconds.
"The worst thing for any coach, and probably for players, is when you don't have a lot of success then you have a lot of days off," said Wild coach Bruce Boudreau. "Then you gotta live with it. We're anxious to get back to it, but Chicago's probably anxious too."
One week into the new season, the Blackhawks sit atop the Central Division having gone 2-0-1, with their only loss coming in a 7-6 barnburner against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Sunday.

Hey, let's win!

 

[Bazeek]

Haha, remember when Toews was good?

*checks boxscores from Chicago's last few games*

Damn it all.

 

[Digitalbooya]

I just hope we score more than once.

With the amount of exams in the past few weeks I haven’t had time to get myself into any trouble. I’d say Minnesota fans deserve a nice 2-1, trapping style, great hockey win

 

[Uberdachen]

Excited to see who gets the goal tonight.

 

[gphr513]

I just hope we score more than once.

What, like, in the next week?

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Better not win. I'm too tired to riot.

 

[Putt Pirate]

If Ward is in net you will score bucketloads of goals.

 

[gphr513]

Is Corey Crawford still a thing?

 

[Digitalbooya]

If Ward is in net you will score bucketloads of goals.

 

[Goose312]

I'm cautiously optimistic the Wild will score more than 1 goal tonight. In fact you know what? Let's be crazy, they will possibly get 3 goals.

I wouldn't bet on it.

I'm going with a 7-3 Wild win: JEE with a hattie, Brodin with 4 assists, the PP goes 0 for 4, and gives up a shortie.

That seems right.

 

[123TripleDoge]

Hopefully the Wild look rejuvenated with the new lines.

 

[Goose312]

I would lose it if the Wild win 7-3, JEE gets 3 or Brodin has a 4 point night.... I'd give even money at best on the last one after watching the lefty PP in action.

 

[nt3005]

New surround sound will finally be setup so I can watch this one down in the Man cave. Time to get the first win, nothing worse than the Blackhawks, cant stand them. Staal is about to light up his old buddy Cam tonight.

 

[2Pair]

Hopefully the Wild look rejuvenated with the new lines.

Hopefully they don't actually use the lines that Russo reported.

 

[Putt Pirate]

Is Corey Crawford still a thing?

He is still 2-3 weeks out but they say he looks great in practice. I will believe it when I see him come back. I just would rather he not risk his long term health to be honest.

You guys will score.....plenty tonight. Plenty. Ward is so trash he makes me long for Huet.

Sooo reverse jinxy, which i will respond to by saying that Nino and Coyle will score -2 goals tonight.

Zucker and Kane get into a knockdown, drag out sissy/slap fight, and Toews/Koivu will get onto a three way staring contest with a Linesman- I can't say which one, yet.

I want Duby to fight Ward for dominance.

 

[Wabit]

Well G3 of the season against CHI. Didn't we already see this episode of "Days of our NHL Lives" last year? It had big plot twists (3 period goals), and shocking turns of events (all the injuries), even a surprise ending (MN won).

 

[The Enemy Within]

No Wild hockey for four days has me feeling confident. Wild vs Blackhawks, ohhh yes. Let's do it Wild!
