Questions to Answer

A solid game last night turned into a bad loss in the third period. Will the Wild get a turnaround, or slide from that emotional loss?
With Alex Ovechkin out, can the Wild succeed in slowing the rest of the Washington offense?
Josh Harding hasn't started since losing on October 16 in Edmonton. Will he show signs of rust?
Will the Boogaard - Sheppard - Pouliot line show great energy and create scoring chances again tonight?
Can Owen Nolan keep up his excellent play of the last few games? The squad needs him to keep at it.

And I prefer the Wild in Green.

I yearn for the days of whites at home. 41 home games of the same two colors gets so boring.

I'm so sick and tired of the refs explaining the calls like this is the NFL.

Hey look! Robbie Earl made it an entire shift without diving!

ARGH!

Fantastic 2 on 1 with Schultz and Brunette, but Bruno couldn’t get the shot off. That was a certain goal.

Did Havlat just shoot the puck?

I thought I saw #14 on that jersey, but maybe I can’t make it out correctly on this fuzzy standard def feed.

This is the first game I’ve had to watch in SD so far this year.

On Dish Network both the Caps and the Wild feeds are SD, the only feed on StarChoice (Canadian sat) is SD, and GameCenter Live (Internet feed) only has SD.

Lame.
