Questions to Answer

  1. Will Guillaume Latendresse have an impact in his first game the way Andrew Ebbett did?
  2. Can the Wild come out with a solid effort against Colorado, the way they did against Boston?
  3. Craig Anderson has been sliding back to Earth lately. Will that continue today?
  4. Do the Xcel Energy fans suffer from Trytophan hangover, or will the building be energized?
  5. avalanche.nhl.com seems to overlook the next two games with the Wild. Will the Avs do the same?

Indeed

As a side note, I take back anything I ever said to defend the club level. I’m not sure why the people in my regular neighbors seats even bothered to come. They didn’t get here until 10 minutes into the 1st and they’re clearly not watching the game. They did, however, spend the rest of the period calling people and waiving.

Matt Duchene-is he old enough to play in the NHL?

Good lord, he looks like he’s 14.

Under review

No idea how they would call it a goal. Pretty clear.

Disagree

Of Col’s 3 goals you can really only pin 1 as being on Nik.

by SpaethCo on Nov 27, 2009 2:44 PM CST via mobile up reply actions   0 recs

I would say all three are lack of team defense. Either they cough up the puck, or they have been over powered.

Talk about respect...

Nolan flat out kills Andersen. Not a move to even touch him. Apparently Nolan would kill them or something.

Tie score. Late third. Wild PP.

Hmmm… guessing, short handed goal.

Good game

A few defensive mistakes, but they come out with the win. Played fast, played aggressive. All in all… I like it.
