I hope the Wild bring the same game as they had against Dallas.

I'd rather have Stalock start tonight and Dub tomorrow in Nash.

 

[Dee Oh Cee]

Go team.

Those pictures the team uses every gameday always get me

 

[Uberdachen]

Give me a conclusion as satisfying as last time and I'll give you a half-human, half-tv abomination.

Hey guys, you know what thought warms me up on a blustery minus-whatever day like today? That time Ryan Suter chose to sign with the Minnesota Wild. Yep. Mmmmm, so warm. It's like a little furnace in my heart is heating up a middle finger sculpted out of freshly farmed cheese. I'm going to get some chips.

 

[Wabit]

Bah, I just realized the game was NBCSN. I'll take Walz over those crews.

 

[TaLoN]

Go Wild!

 

[Wabit]

Why is it that these two teams, both with stellar defenses, seemingly end up with a 5-4 final score?

I just want a good game to watch tonight.

 

[Wabit]

What a play by Staal to pass to himself off the boards when he was on the ice. Lead to a good scoring chance.

 

[HwT]

Nice start for the game at least.

 

[Wabit]

Still not a fan of Zucker on the PP. He looks lost out there.

 

[HwT]

Up in the ass of Zucker.

 

[2Pair]

Can't have a 5 man PP unit where Ryan Suter has the best shot. Just not gonna work

 

[Wabit]

Battle between Ennis and Ardvasen (sp?) before the puck drop. It's like a PeeWee battle.

 

[HwT]

Offense seems to be relying on Suter wristers. That is a problem.

 

[Wabit]

Foligno with a good forecheck forces a turnover.

 

[HwT]

Granny!

 

[Wild11MN]

Wow, great start, and great play!

 

[2Pair]

Wow Dumba. That was unreal

 

[Wabit]

4th line play set that goal up. Granny 1-0 Wild

 

[HwT]

Nice patience there from Dumba.

 

[Wabit]

Stewie lifts the puck and that's a goal.

 

[Wabit]

13-1 shot advantage for the Wild. Wild with 13 shots in the first 10 mins of a game? Who is this team?

 

[57special]

That was a dumb fight

 

[Wabit]

bearhug fight. useless for the Wild.

 

[HwT]

Not sure I like these non-spontaneous fights.
