Tonight's lines:
|
Minnesota Wild |
Detroit Red Wings |
|
Miettinen - Koivu - Brunette Burns - Schultz Harding |
Zetterberg - Datsyuk - Hossa Lebda - Lidstrom Osgood |
NOTES:
- The Wild dropped into last place in the Northwest after losing 10 of 14 games (4-9-1) in December.
- Pavel Datsyuk, who leads the Red Wings with 26 assists and 42 points, has eight goals and nine assists during a season-high nine-game point streak.
- Detroit is 8-0-2 in 10 meetings with Minnesota since a 4-2 home loss on Jan. 3, 2006.
- The Red Wings are 6-0-1 at Xcel Energy Center since the teams played to a 1-1 tie on Nov. 15, 2003.
- Minnesota's defense is tied with East-leading Boston, allowing a league-low 84 goals.
- Marian Gaborik was officially placed on the IR to make room for John Scott.
- Marek Zidlicky, who has been ill the past few days, was back on the ice this morning.
Questions to Answer
- Will the return of the C to Mikko Koivu's sweater matter at all?
- Does Marian Gaborik's injury situation being identified help the team move on and get past it?
- Can they build on a nice showing against San Jose and get the new month started on the right foot?
- Do Lidstrom and Chelios play a bigger role in today's game than they did in the Winter Classic?
- With Gaborik going out, is there any way they can make a move?

Concerning the "Can We Get any Value for Gaborik"
I Think Doug Risebrough needs to approach him and tell him hey..your Free Agent Value is Extremely Low…what would be best for you is to sign a 1 or 2 year deal with us so you can rebuild your value in the Free Agent Market.

If he's smart
He signs with someone for one year to prove himself. THis is a waste of a season. However, if he’s really smart, he fires his agent. Ron Salcer has cost Marian Gaborik a minimum of 60 million dollars. Had Gaborik signed in the offseason, he wouldn’t need to worry about the surgery and proving himself.

Barren
The cupboard is bare. There is nothing in Houston that excites personnel directors. The Wild have nobody in the WJC. There is no young talent. Even the young talent that is with the big team is mediocre or at least needs time and latitude to get better. Sheppard, Gillies, Pouliot and Clutterbuck aren’t the offensive talents that this team needs to have in order to be successful.
They need offensive talent. They’re almost better off tanking.

I like Kolanos too, but he’s not exactly young, nor is Scott. Irmen has been a failure. Pouliot has potential, but not able to improve yet. Sheppard has a way to go offensively.
Cuma is a d-man, so that’s not going to be a big boon either.

Kolanos
Kolanos is a journeyman who has played for about half the teams in the NHL. If he were a baseball player, he’d be described as a AAAA player. Great in the minors, can’t quite hack it in the pros.
