Things you might consider doing other than taking in a Wild game:









If I don't fall asleep I will add more later.

Edit: Yeo exclaims to all that Dubnyk's knee has been magically healed! He will play! Praise someone or other!

For those who insist on watching the whole game...a warning video.

its best to sit in a dark room for several days prior to make this game interesting

 

[backhandsauce]

5-3 good guys.

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

Apparently Dubnyk might be out. Good sign for us...

It often is a good sign for us if Dubnyk isn't playing...even when he was on our team

 

[McPuritania]

Can't see how this is anything other than a loss. Sigh. Wild choke the life out of us as usual.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

maybe the hockey gods will smile upon us and give us an entertaining loss.

 

[oXo Cube]

Might have a chance if we score first.

Just kidding. 2-0 Wild.

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

4-2 Wild with Dubnyk
4-2 Oilers without Dubnyk

 

[Psychoil]

chalking this one up to a loss, I hate the way the wild play, same with the kings, boring game, mcdavid does mcdavid things but we lose 3-1. Hope I'm wrong

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

The Jets put 5 up on the Wild the other night... Have to think we can put up at least a few?

 

[McGoMcD]

As usual with the Wild it comes down to if the refs actually call all the hooking and holding. If they do and we can get a early pp goal. I think we will take this one, they refs probably won't though and we lose 3-1

 

[Kepler 186f]

No Dubnyk? 5-2 Oilers.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Oh ye of little faith. Yes the Wild DID own us and have our number, yes Dubnyk DID own us and have our number, but there's this guy in a #97 jersey that doesn't give a crap about any of that. We also have real NHL goaltending and a real NHL coach. IMO we win this game regardless of who starts in net for the Wild.

 

[StevieBlunder]

The goal here has to be score first. Play smart. Minimize mistakes in the offensive zone or their D will make us pay.

 

[AUAIOMRN]

Might want to change the title... I thought it said the game was as at 6:30 at first.

[BarDownBobo]

Speaking of goaltending, has anyone heard who's in for us?

I just did, thanks for the heads up.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

It should be Talbot IMO. We really need a win after playing relatively well and getting screwed by the league on Sunday.

 

[RCee]

Speaking of goaltending, has anyone heard who's in for us?

I'd put my money on Talbot.

 

[s7ark]

Luckily I have something to go to tonight. I'm not going to be tempted to watch another boring Wild game.

Hope the Oilers win.

 

[PinSeeker]

I don't think this is the same as the Lemaire-coached Wild teams. They have a good squad, and aren't as stifling as they once were. Less LA and more Nashville, I would say.

3-1 Oilers

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Why are the Wild a better organization?

 

[ThePhoenixx]

I just did, thanks for the heads up.

Thanks.

I don't put a lot of stock into teams that have "owned" us over the last couple of years. Every team has owned us.
