Tonight's lines:
|
Minnesota Wild |
Colorado Avalanche |
| Miettinen - Koivu - Brunette Veilleux - Belanger - Bouchard Clutterbuck - Sheppard - Kolanos Weller - Pouliot - Boogaard Reitz - Schultz Bergeron - Skoula Johnsson - Zidlicky Harding Backstrom |
Smiyth - Stastny - Hejduk Foote - Clark |
NOTES:
- The Wild have lost 3 of the last 4 after starting 6-0-1
- The Wild are near the league lead in goals again, but the offense has been sputtering
- Brent Burns will fly back to the Twin Cities this afternoon to rest his upper body injury.
- Pepsi Center has not been a hospitable venue for the Wild, who are a lifetime 5-15-3 in Denver.
- Jacques Lemaire is very concerned about Pierre-Marc Bouchard’s psyche right now.
Questions to Answer
- Where the hell is Pierre-Marc Bouchard?
- Where is the vaunted Wild defense? After giving huge numbers of shots in the last four games, they need to shut the Avs down tonight.
- Will the power play let the Wild down again?
- Will Kolanos build on a solid first showing?
- Which will last longer, Gaborik's injury or the Franken/Coleman recount?

The Avs are not a good team…I cant believe the Wild lost to these clowns in the playoffs last year.
BTW Gabby sucks :)
Backstrom makes some sweet saves SH and Skoula miffed an easy goal :(
We do not mention his name
He who must not be named has had a very, very good season, and we don’t want to screw it up by talking about him at all.
I dislike Gabby
I hope Gabby never comes back…then when he hits the open market he will see how little the league thinks of him and his glass groin ;)

I don’t know if he’s been that bad this year though. Typically, I’d agree, but I don’t think he’s the problem thus far. I have to check his stats though.
Arneson lost a lot of weight when he left SCCC…he is a lot better than I figured he would be in the NHL.
Knock on Wood
He who must not be named is really looking good this year. I’m terrified for when the bottom falls out.
