GDT: Wild @ Sharks "No More MN Nice Guy" || 9.30 PM CDT || FSN

[Kaptain]

Probably not a must win, but I'd really like a win tonight.
Let's go Wild!
Let's go DUANE!

 

[keppel146]

hey I want to move into 4th, lets win this one

 

[Kaptain]

Wait, this doesn't even start until 9:30?!
Holy ****.

 

[TZM]

Damn it... I could watch the game live if it started 20 minutes earlier. I'm heading off to work at 7:40 and the game will end around 7:50-8.

 

[StealthClobber]

Been up all night, so a 9:30 start could actually be good for me... Go to work, get my paycheck, come home early, pass out till game time... or shall I say...

DUANE TIME?

My only worry is sleeping through my alarm, I'll just have to set more alarms. I don't wanna miss another game to sleep (already slept through 2-3 this year, including a SJ game funnily enough).

OH and BTW, this game is on NHL Network tonight in the US.

 

[Jarick]

Friggin midnight games! What the hell? All week long!

 

[MNWILDFAN001]

If Wild score first, we win. If not, we lose.

 

[MuckOG]

Glad this is a late start tonight. I'm on the local youth hockey association board and we have our meeting tonight. Should get out around 9:00 pm, so a 9:30 start is perfect for me, selfishly speaking.

Wild win a close one 4-3.

Stoner, Mitchell, Clutterbuck and Clark score.

 

[Lapa]

I like the late start. No problem waking up at 5:30 am.

Any word on the lineup?

 

[jedisports]

Awesome opening. I love it.

I am not sure how things will shake out tonight but I would be happy with one point. It's definitely a good thing that this game isn't a must win since we took care of business the last two, and we head home after this one with some very winnable games.

 

[ThatGuy22]

I like the late start. No problem waking up at 5:30 am.

Any word on the lineup?

Probably get likely lineup from Russo at/after morning skate. Which will probably be about another 2 to 4 hours from now.

 

[Randy BoBandy]

Whats up with Stoner and Desjardins in the tale of the tape segment? Am I missing something?

Good work though on the GDT, cheeseburgerlicious

 

[MuckOG]

This is a big game for the Wild. It's fine and dandy to win the games you're supposed to win (Calgary, Edmonton, Colorado, et al), but the Wild need to start proving to us (and themselves) that they can beat the playoff teams as well.

 

[Avder]

I hope Wild play hard and physical but don't do something stupid like go after a guy. Do we really want a thread about "Dirty Wild" and how our players are dirty? I don't, play hard but play CLEAN.

Wild better give them a good game, as long as we get a point out of this and end up with 5/6 for the road trip I think we'll be fine.

Hope for a win but will settle with a OT point

Honestly I'd rather have a thread accusing us of taking liberties than constantly being the team everyone takes liberties against. This team needs a skilled player who goes out on the ice and absolutely crushes people from time to time.

Alright, thanks.

Coyle

He is the one.

 

[jedisports]

I also love how great we are on the road. Everyone knows that home ice doesn't really matter in the playoffs. It's not the same as home field in baseball, for example. It's still amazing that we've already proven that playing away doesn't matter in the least, we can win on the road. Winning tonight would be very nice. Columbus is on a holy terror right now. They are scorching hot. You know Detroit will find a way to get back into it. While this isn't a must win tonight, it's still pretty important.

 

[Engebretson]

Another game where I'll be watching through my eyelids.

At least re-alignment is bringing fewer of these late night games.

 

[W75]

Great GDT!
Especially Nordy part was a beaty...

DaléDuane!!!

 

[Karl]

I would love a huge road win against a playoff team to gear the Wild up for potential playoff games. It seems like a very long time since the Wild beat a quality opponent especially on the road. But I would be satisfied if we at least got a point.

I also hope the Wild concentrate on the game instead of looking for payback against Vlassic. But on the same hand if Torres or any others start taking liberties with Parise, Koivu, Suter, Brodin ect… then they need to protect their guys.

 

[Giles Ferrell]

Great GDT!

Its not important that the Wild win this game, but I hope they can come away with at least a point tonight. Sharks are 15-1-5 at home, so this will not be an easy point (or two!) to get.

 

[PuckInTheNards]

I'll be at the game tonight! Can't wait!

 

[Fel 96]

Hmm, looks like I'm the only one (so far) to be worried about ****ing Torres.

Is that normal?

 

[TZM]

2-3 goal game. Wild win.

 

[W75]

Hmm, looks like I'm the only one (so far) to be worried about ****ing Torres.

Is that normal?

No it isn't, yes it is.
Fernando Torres?
