Mikko Koivu

[maros91]

This guy is the bomb. This is the guy we should sign to a 10 year deal. He has 3 years left on his current one. Always wins the battle in the corners and seems to through that unsuspecting hit in the corner or behind the net that levels the defender. Plus he can score and pass with the best and always backchecks. Should wear the "C" the rest of the year IMO.

[Skeets]

Yep, Mikko is our stud.

Tough losses the last few games, they should have won both games.

[WildCountry]

Koivu is the man, face off stud, behind the net stud, all around stud. If it wasnt for him stepping up and representing that "C" we would be in a lot of hurt

[walleyes12]

Koivu is the leader of this team hands down! Great player

[8-Ball]

You mean until our fearless leader Gabby comes back, right?!! j/k of course.

[knoppers]

we need to trade away gaby, the team has some very good team chemistry working now, and koiviu is the leader.

[Skeets]

Yet another tough loss, good thing that last post ringer didn't go in because they probably would have called it off anyway.

Good game tonight, most of the time when they play this good they win....but not tonight.

[fishnhuntnboy]

Yes a very tough loss. I would have loved to see this game go in to OT or a shoot out for how the game was played. The wild deserved that game and should have gotten it.

[knoppers]

I am thinking that backstrom needs a rest, harding should get another shot, which he probally will this weekend with the back to back games. I though backs gave up a couple of soft goals last night.

Did anyone see Mikko yapping at the refs today to get the 10 min misconduct? I don't know if I missed it on TV or if he just said the "right" thing to get under the ref's skin. Nice win today though.

[knoppers]

I watched the first two periods, and there was nothing, it must have happened late in the third, since I heard nothing after 10 minutes through the third period, and did not know the outcome.

[jwhjr]

It was almost at the end of the game, I think with about 5 min or so left.

[fishnhuntnboy]

He is such a stud. He played very well tonight against nashville especially the goal late in the 3rd period.

[maros91]

Agreed. He was diving for loose pucks up 4 goals late in the 3rd. Great play to lift the sick of Weber and then rub him off the puck and go in and score. All Star for sure this year.
