This is one of the very few times I've actually glad I didn't fork up the ungodly amount of money they wanted for tickets to go to the game. If you are going, please layer up and bring some hand warmers for your feet!!

I've been using the lower back heat wrap things the last few years hunting to help stay warm. I look for is which one covers the biggest surface area.

This?

Here's the current temp at Target Field

I wanted to use this for the GDT song, but it is the wrong vibe for today's game.

Great song, but agreed... wrong vibe for sure.

 

[63firebird]

Weak at Center with Ek. I expect a long day.

 

[TaLoN]

No word yet on Brodin's status, but I know Guerin has been optimistic he'll be cleared for today...

Meanwhile, the fans today will be all...

 

[GoBluz24]

Here's to a good game, festive atmosphere with no injuries or covid to the players and no frostbite or hyperthermia to the fans.

 

[Wabit]

Great song, but agreed... wrong vibe for sure.

I'd like to use Staind for a GDT but their songs are more appropriate for the Twins or Vikings.

 

[Wabit]

It's too bad there isn't any tailgating. It's a blast at cold games.

 

[Dee Oh Cee]

Was able to convince my Dad to come with to the game after the friend I was going to go with tested positive for COVID. Looking forward to it! No idea what to expect in terms of the actual game...think it's actually a good thing that it's a 'weird' game with the Wild not playing in the last two weeks. I think they'll win.

 

[Webster]

Haha...chicken!

Better take cover, that Catalyst 9X could become a dangerous weapon...

 

[f7ben]

I expect the Wild to be pretty thoroughly destroyed in this game. Ek being out is a massive blow. Maybe Talbot can steal one but I doubt it. We always struggle against the blues and they are firing on all cylinders while we flail around falling back to earth at terminal velocity

I am thrilled that the High School Hockey tourny hair guy got to do a video for the NHLers hair. He kills me each year.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

I’m going to this game. 2 layers of everything. Let’s go Wild

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Sounds like Brodin is out

 

[Dee Oh Cee]

Sounds like Brodin is out

Damn...I even put on my Brodin jersey

It's cold enough that you can justify the cost of buying a new different player one to go on top of the Brodin at the game.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Feels like a loss to me. Does anyone disagree?

It doesn't feel like a win. It's a toss up for me with the added variables of temp and being outside. A couple of early goals could turn the game into a blowout for either team.

We don’t typically match up well with them it feels like. Haven’t played hockey in a while, without some top guys, bad conditions, it’s tough

If the game was in the X I'm thinking the same thing, it's a loss. Just the game to dust off the rust and move on.

I just think the outdoor, temp, and the excitement of it will be big factors.
