The puck drops at 7pm tonight at the Xcel Energy Center St Paul for the Minnesota Wild vs Anaheim Mighty Ducks game and of course it’s a big game. I read somewhere that this game was one of the top 5 most popular games for Minnesota Wild fans (I wish I could find where I read that!) Wild tickets are scarce and the crowd will be big for this rival match-up.

After getting knocked out of the playoffs last year by the dirty fowl, the Minnesota Wild are always eager to prove they can beat the worthy defending Stanley Cup Champion opponent. The Ducks are hot right now and haven’t lost in regulation since the start of 2008 so I sure hope the Minnesota Wild will bring their top game and earn a few points in the standings. The Minnesota Wild have beat the Ducks twice this season already, let’s hope they can make it three! Key to winning the game, scoring first – MN Wild Freak predicts whoever scores first will win.

The weather will be frigid heading into the game tonight tonight so dress warm and I wouldn’t expect to see too many ticket guys working the corners so you should probably buy your tickets ahead of time!

Go Wild!
