Wild 2014/2015 Regular Season

[PierBridge]

As if most of us didnt despise the Bruins and the East coast in general enough already...

Come on man 3-0 and you lose. Winnipeg with another OT winn too...

Cruel just cruel!

Anybody else think Dubs looked a little slow last night on occasion. I wonder if a bit of fatigue may be setting in...

You gotta love the Wilds effort at the end of the game thought we had it tied.

[crothmeier]

No Vanek at practice today, but Yeo expects him to play. Interesting lines today with Russo thinking they will break up the 9-11-29 line.

[schmitty3]

Yeah worst case scenario in all of the games last night. We lost 2 points on everyone except San Jose who wasn't playing.

Makes tomorrows game that much more important, hope to see them come out with some more desperation.

[OnAFly]

The good news is that we are still only 3pts out of a playoff spot with games in hand to most of the teams around us. We still need a really good record in the final 26 games, but at least we're still very relevant.

Unfortunately, with the game starting at 8:30, I probably wont watch much of it.

I was always very irritated by the games not only the time zone shifting games an hour later but also the fact that the Western teams always like to have their games at 7:30 local time, making it all the more difficult to watch for us. At least we're out of that ridiculous Western Division.

[CaptainMusky]

Much needed win last night. Would have been nice to not give any points to Calgary, but I will take it.

Cannot sleep on Edmonton now, need both those points and not give any to the Oilers.

Eddy Dallas Eddy on the menu, taking all of them would be huge. Jets did us a favor and got smoked last night, darn Canucks made a small comeback and won it in a shoot out. We have 3 games in hand over Winnepeg and San Jose, have to make those games count.

Saw that and it might be the C word, only time will tell. Dumba should get a chance to step up, he has been pretty good lately. Time to get Folin some more ice time too, not sure why he hasn't been playing, I liked what I saw early in the year.

[CaptainMusky]

Yeah I was a bit perplexed by Folin getting sent down too. The comment at the time was there was some things he needed to work on and he wasn't going to get the icetime he needed up in the NHL.

Dumba has been playing a lot better. Still makes me nervous at times, but agreed, his last couple games have been great.

A puck to the face and a possible concussion huh? I guess I didn't really see exactly where it hit him, but it looked like the cheek.

[schmitty3]

Hope it's nothing serious with Spurgeon we can't afford to lose him. Will be interested t see if they play Bickel tonight or call Folin back up, I believe they would have to send someone back down in order to get Folin back up?

[CaptainMusky]

Yep, Bickel was sent down and Folin brought back up. I wonder if we will see that Keeranen at some point? Tonight might be a good chance to get him out there.

[PierBridge]

Tonights game scares me...hopefully we can grind out 2 points.

[PierBridge]

Folin with Scandella.

[knoppers]

as long as we get 2 points, it doesn't matter if its a overtime win, because eddy getting 1 point means nothing, but non shootout wins is better for tie breakers.

[PierBridge]

2 zip wild!!!

[knoppers]

nice to see scandella back in. 3 zip!

[ESSGuy]

If/when the wild hoist the cup, I think Dubnyk may be the key. Gotta have a hot goalie .

[Bear55]

Pretty every game is a big one until we clinch a spot, we can move into 8th and pretty much crush any hopes Dallas has of making the playoffs. They also played last night.

[M1dwestF1sh]

So who's all out for tonight's game? Its getting hard to keep track of...

[CaptainMusky]

Spurgeon, cooke,zucker are the main ones still out.

[Hester]

I just love it when we beat Dallas.

[M1dwestF1sh]

First two periods looked like a good NHL game(except for Dallas winning). The third just looked like a joke. Still intertaning to see how badly Dallas can fall apart!

[schmitty3]

Great 3rd period and win tonight. Crazy how much Dallas has fell apart these last two nights.

Also nice to get in to a playoff spot, now hopefully we continue to win and pad our lead over the other wild card contenders, cause starting on the 13th of March the schedule gets brutal.

[lungdeflator]

Thats right keep piling it on! I had to go to bed early last night. Really nice to wake to see the Wild scored 6! Gets a guy off to a good start for the day.

[CaptainMusky]

I flipped the channel to watch some of the walking dead and by the time I turned it back the 3rd had started and it was 2-1. I called a buddy who was asking about a boat for sale and the Wild scored 3 goals in that timeframe. I was like what is going on Dallas! I mean, I loved every second of it as a Wild fan, but that was a collapse. Very similar to some early Wild games when Kuemper looked like garbage except those usually happened very early in the game.

Folin looked solid, that pass to Parise was just awesome! Dumba had a good game again, really playing well right now.
