Questions to Answer

  1. Can they come out hot and bounce back from a horrible performance in Phoenix?
  2. With no Andrew Ebbett, who is going to provide his spark?
  3. What kind of effect will punishing Martin Havlat have on his play?
  4. Can the Wild get to Budaj and rattle him?
  5. Mikko Koivu has been the engine driving this machine, will he continue his excellent play?

I’m sure Havlat will play brilliantly with those two? Great way to motivate him!?

I kind of feel bad for the guy

Havlat with a Houston call up and Shep…

If i were him, I’d just play harder to get off that line.

I hope I’m wrong and Havlat and Shep are the missing links to each other’s game

OK. My calender says FSN tonight. WTF is that? Calendar issued by the Wild. Bastards.

By the way. Last straw. Versus and DirecTV… getting some wrath tomorrow.

I have set a goal. If I can’t make someone cry at both companies, I am turning in my asshole card.

That's gross.

Not really doing a good job showing he should be playing over Jamie Sifers, IMHO

Wild win

Koivu just across the goalmouth and time runs out. Nice 1-0 win. What a boring win, but we’ll take the two points!
