I like it. Possibly even switch Coyle and Fontaine??

Unlikely Yeo will do it but I think that's a well balanced top 9. All can play well defensively, all have some scoring potential.

I just have the feeling this team gets it done tonight and head to Chicago for Thursdays game 7. If not we have learned a lot about the young guys. They got game and the future is through the roof with the Wild. We can count on them being serious Cup contenders for the next 3-4 years if not longer.

Granny looked kindof gassed last night.. I wouldnt blame Yeo if he tryed Haula on that 1C for some shifts. Esp if we goes down 0-2 or so

gotta win tonight, because according to some Hawks fans, hockey is all Minnesota has. Major metro areas are nothing, etc etc.

I'm so sick of Chicago and their fans lately to be honest.

I'm sure they'll be plenty of them at the game. We can't lose this game. The season does not end on our home ice. Not in our house.

helps when your city is backed by the mob! j/k opps did i say that out loud? the hawks use to be horrible, tanked & got a couple high picks then mgmt spent money on quality vets. hmmmm should we have done that?

If they don't win it'll be a long carriage-ride back to the farm, hope my 12 siblings can milk the cows and slaughter the chickens without me.

You guys should read this Buccigross article about the Wild/Blue Jackets.

For the first time, Minnesota fans have the team they deserve. A legitimate, fast, exciting north-south team they can identify with and be genuinely excited about. And they can feel that their team is no longer just the cuddly upstart. Minnesota is going to become a destination for players.

A good number of young players already go there to train, hang out and live for the summer. Why go off to your Canadian lakeside cottage when you build one for year-round use in the Land of 10,000 Lakes?

Like Columbus, Minnesota has a great balance of established players in their mid-to-late 20s and top-level 20- and 21-year-olds who will able to experience winning while they develop.

Are you who I think you are?

Here in peace.
Not all of us are ******.

I've enjoyed the hell out of watching you guys this year. Fast game, which the 'Hawks normally like, but it seems that it caught them offguard, perhaps. We'll see what happens tonight, if they adjust.

I was disappointed in losing the Wings in the division, but I have to admit, it's looking like it's going to be a rough ride for Winnipeg and Nashville.

Good luck tonight, even if I do hope that the series ends!

hawks fan, some of the northstar vs blackhawks games were epic. hopefully this will revive that bloodfeud! (all in good fun) we've got to start chanting kane & toews sok & you guys should pick a player & stick with it just like the good ole days secord soks / dino soks. may the best team (wild) win!

 

[Screaming Buffalo]

I think we may have found a new GDT theme! More reason to win tonight.

Typewriter font. Amish-style names for the players.

Bucci is like the anti-Lambert. He writes articles that are fun to read and doesn't constantly insult the fans.

I think he's an honorary Minnesotan.

Agreed. Good article. Always liked Buccigross' takes. One of, if not the only guy on the whole four letter network who really knows their hockey.

This thread is awesome! lol I must say if the Chicago people think that Minnesotans are hicks I can only imagine what they might think of a guy from "Dakota Territory". lol
Let's win this one Wild! Force game 7! Would love to see them go to Chicago and win a game 7 there.
