Wilderness Walk for 12-27-2010

Great game last night, eh? Hopefully you all looked at the SOG chart in the game re-cap. If not, you should. You will learn a valuable lesson about how to win a game. Limit shots in the high percentage areas, and fire the puck at the net as much as possible. It is not a difficult recipe, yet the Wild haven't figured it out yet.

Seriously... you need to see it, so here it is again:

Yeah. Absolutely not a good game.

Let's move forward, shall we? The Wild go tonight into a a building they never play well in. By the end of this week, the bandwagon will most likely be empty. Plenty of seats still remaining, indeed.

For entertainment purposes, head over to Facebook for the Question of the Day. Things will be a bit behind schedule today as I head out to head some family clear ice dams on their houses, but the game thread will be up if nothing else. We'll see you all later. Stay warm, folks.

Not well indeed.

I honestly didn’t have high expectations in the win column last night, but I did expect us to show up! Why is it right now, that when the stadium is full, we play so poorly? There fans or ours? We need to get it together.

Kobe is likely to return tonight…I was hoping Richards would keep him out for at least 3 games, so I’m not too displeased. I hope something hit him, and it will turn around. With how we played last night change couldn’t hurt.

Glad Schultz will be back. Good Luck to Theo, idk how he’s played against them in the past.

Fun Fact: Columbus also lost 1-4 last night.

Theo was in net for our win against the jackets this year

So at least that’s something, right?

Oh That is a good point

If the rest of the team plays we may just have the chance to win, in a building, that has been iffy for us(we were playing there for the victory though).
