Tonight's lines:
|
Minnesota Wild |
San Jose Sharks |
|
Miettinen - Koivu - Brunette Burns - Schultz Backstrom |
Marleau - Thornton - Setoguchi Boyle - Lukowich Nabakov |
NOTES:
- Minnesota was within one point of the lead in the Northwest Division at the end of November, but a 3-9-1 slide this month has dropped it into last place.
- The Wild has been outscored 23-11 going 0-6-2 in the last 8 vs. San Jose. In those 8, Evgeni Nabokov posted a 1.35 gaa.
- The Sharks have just one regulation loss in their last 20 games, going 15-1-4 since a 4-2 defeat at Phoenix on Nov. 9.
- Owen Nolan, who is definitely not ready to play, asked Jacques to play.
Questions to Answer
- Is Russo right? Should they just tank the rest of the season?
- Will the boo birds return?
- Why are they playing at 5:00?
- Will the Wild amass more than 20 shots?
- Do Lemaire and Risebrough care?

Nolan Johnnson are back
Gaborik is Pussying out again…Yeehaw
I’ll be in and out of this game…Gophers Football squad is playing in the Insight bowl at 6 est vs Kansas on the NFL Network.
I’m sorry for posting the images directly, it was inappropriate (especially given their size). I should have just put up links.
Anyway, happy new year to you all. I hope it’s a good game today!
Oh dude
Dont’ sweat it. I have absolutely no problems with the images. Frankly, it spices up the thread. Don’t be a stranger.
That rush says everything about this season. Sheppard made the moves, got Nabakov out of position, centered & nobody could finish.
How?
How on earth did the Gophers score? I turned it off as soon as Kansas got the first TD on the first play. I predict that the football team loses by more than the basketball team did.
Weber Takes the Snap
Pitches it to QB David Pittman…Hasnt taken a snap all year…Passes To Decker for 73 yards…Eskridge Rushing TD.
Is it just me
Or is this game moving really rapidly? Great pace, not a lot of stoppages. I’m loving this.
No Idea...
Converted from Linebacker to Runningback according to Gophersports.com…From Glencoe-Silver Lake High school.

What time?
I’m probably going to flip back and forth between that and the Schwans Cup coverage on FSN.
That will be great to hear for three hours about hockey is back in Chicago. It makes me wish Dollar Bill never died.
I’d enjoy that. That said, Lidstrom is playing despite a bum ankle and Chelios is playing as well despite, uh, not playing much if at all this season. 7 D, 11F. Chelios will likely be helping Lidstrom carry his minutes though since we know he’s not 100%.
It’s just convenient that Chelios made a living in Chicago for a long time and sang with Harry Caray more than a few times too. Wonder if any of the n00b fans will remember him.
Noon here?
I’ll probably watch then.
Should we post the live blog? It’ll be shared with Puck Daddy, From the Rink and other SBN sites.
Ouch
Sounds like Boogaard broke Shelley’s helmet. They’re talking about a crack and he had a new one sent across the rink.
Ok
We’re in for tomorrow’s Winter Classic. Stop by here tomorrow and participate in the Winter Classic Live Blog along with readers and authors from: From the Rink, Puck Daddy, Winging it in Motown, Second City Hockey and others. We’re very excited about this.

Well the only two choices
TCF Bank Stadium and The Twins New Ballpark when they open and I would like to Play Calgary…Get the Whole USA-Canada Rivalry Going.
Could you really Have Baudette Bay Hold That Many People?
Wouldnt happen…would have to happen at a stadium so the NHL can make Money.
Yeah
That was my “screw it” moment. Screw the money. Sell 5,000 tickets at $1000/ticket and you’ll get some decent cash.
