Questions to Answer

  1. Can Lats get payback?
  2. How is Pouliot liking life in Hamilton?
  3. How will Clayton Stoner react to getting his first call-up?
  4. Mike Cammalleri has always eaten the Wild alive. Does that continue now that he's out of the West?
  5. How crappy is it that my first chance to watch a game on my new TV, and FSN is going standard def? Lame.

Kostitsyn?

Are they brothers or something?

Find a friend north of the border and get signed up. If you’re a hockey addict, it’s completely worth it.

The HD feed looks glorious on TSN tonight. :-)

Damn

Pretty goal. Too bad it was against us.

by SpaethCo on Dec 17, 2009 6:15 PM CST reply actions  

Wow

Did we just get a power play goal?

Koivu from Havlat — nice.

*crickets

wow, it’s quiet on here…….
much quieter than on other game threads……

i see.
tsn is actually showing an out-of-market game for once, so i’m watching the wild-habs on the west coast right now. it’s being followed by the kings-flamers game.
i’m looking for a game thread to join, but the habs site is dead and this one is superquiet.

Damn lucky to come out of that period still up a goal. Backs had some great stops and some insane puck luck (or puck un-luck from the Habs point of view).

Let's Go Wild!

Just getting caught up

Had the DVR going; I’m caught up to live action now. It looks like the Wild are getting some fortunate bounces. I’ll fell a lot better here if they can pot another one.

Let's Go Wild!

CLUTTERBUCK!

Wow, what a great bounce and way to be in possition :)

Let's Go Wild!

by redheadzeb on Dec 17, 2009 8:10 PM CST reply actions  

Empty Net already

The extra attacker on and Backs makes 2 HUGE saves.

Let's Go Wild!

by redheadzeb on Dec 17, 2009 8:19 PM CST reply actions  

And sadly our position doesn't change at all

Not in the division, not in the conference, not in the league.

by SpaethCo on Dec 17, 2009 8:29 PM CST up reply actions  

Nope… :(

I flipped over to Dallas/Atlanta just in time to see the Stars ensure themselves a point. Jackets/Yotes are both getting points, too…

Let's Go Wild!

Look on the bright side Nate

You’ll get to watch the Saturday game in stunning standard definition as well!

Of course, I’m stuck too — CBC Ottawa isn’t carried in HD on satellite anywhere.
