- Despite its recent struggles, Minnesota has still allowed a Western Conference-low 43 goals.
Questions to Answer
- Can the Wild bounce back from a weak finish against Dallas?
- Any chance they can actually keep a lead and play out the entire 60 minutes?
- How long will Gillies stay in the dog house?
- Burns return to the blue line? Please?
- Does the crowd have a turkey hangover? I know I do!

Hey Lemaire?
Are you ever going to start Colton Gillies?….Your Ruining This Kids Confidence by continuing to bench him!

Said he didn’t have much to learn in juniors… not much to learn in the NHL if you don;t get to play though either…

Gotta think he should have had a chance against Tampa, no? Boogey not really the type of player we need in this match up.

Harding
Has anyone heard if he’s hurt or something? I thought today would have been a good chance to give Backstrom a day off. He’s been mediocre for a week, and I can’t imagine it would be much worse to have Harding in there.

Mikko
his slapper has been awfully impressive the last few games.

Koivu scores on his back off his own rebound. Wild lead 3-2. Assists to Mittens and Bergeron.

Just said outloud to myself… I think Franchise is getting sick of losing. Then he scores. Awesome shot.

Whoa! They’re turning it into a 2:00 for unsportsmanlike in addition to a 10-minute misconduct. 5 on 3 for 2 minutes.
