oh thats right.. did i say 5-2? i meant 9-1 LA

 

[Fel 96]

Based on the way we've played lately we'd be lucky to get into OT on the road in LA.. But Stoner accounts for two goals for the Kings so I say it's a 5-2 loss tonight. If we don't turn it around soon we can forget about winning the division, it's going to be a dog fight just to make the playoffs. This team looks so tired, they desperately need a break.

I wouldn't go that far.

The Wild have a certain advantage right now. It'd take a massive losing streak if they go down 8- in the standings.

 

[Avder]

Is Clark playing tonight? Or is he scratched too?

Why do I have the feeling like we might have another Lundin situation on our hands here?

 

[Fel 96]

Clark is playing.

Falk scratched. Prosser as well.

Have you seen how tight the standings are?

Have you seen how tight the standings are?

Yes I did and it's not this tight from a Wild POV.

You should probably check again.

 

[Granlund 64]

Parise – Koivu – Pominville
Coyle – Granlund – Setoguchi
Clutterbuck – Brodziak – Bouchard
Mitchell – Konopka – Rupp

The Wild are going to have to claw and scratch to finish with 54 points as it looks now.

Stoner playing?

 

[Alwalys]

Please beat the kings, kthx

6 points between us and 9th. Even if everyone between us and 9th is going to be beating eachother unconscious from now until the end of the season, I still think that's too slim a margin for the way we've played lately.

We need a turnaround, and now, if we're going to solidify a playoff position.

Well ****, that guarantees we look even worse than normal.

6-0 Kings win AND a Wild player will get a suspension after this game.

and/or a season ending injury.

 

[jBuds]

I would bet a decently large amount of money on Pominville getting on the scoresheet tonight; likely with a goal. Really.

That's the kind of guy you're getting.

nothing like Lundin who was injured most of the time.

How can you honestly put Stoner in the lineup after last night? Fire Yeo

 

[goatvindaloo]

Stoner playing?

Your avy makes me sad.

Trust me, you won't. Kampfer before Scandella.

Scandella simply hasn't been the same since the injury. Let's give him time to find back his game.

 

[GopherState]

Clone Jonas Brodin?

People said similar things when the Wild were at the top of the league last year. They'd have to tail spin to miss the postseason. How did that work out? Thing is, the teams behind us are starting to win. Heck, look where the Oilers are. If they lose tonight and in Columbus, it won't be pretty.

Nothing is guaranteed. You can slip REALLY fast in the standings.

Based on some comments from our leaders, they recognize that they are going back to some old, bad habits. It's good that they can see it. But when are they gonna stop being all talk? Actions, boys! Actions! If you can see it, then start fixing it.

And #$@! you, Yeo, for playing Stoner tonight.

Damn I'm in a cranky mood right now!

Yes but we all know what happened last year.

Injuries + no depth killed the team.
