Questions to Answer

  1. No Owen Nolan. Sad Panda. Will he come back for the finale?
  2. Can the Wild play spoiler?
  3. Will Nate Prosser continue to log a lot of ice time?
  4. Can the Wild mount any offense at all?
  5. Does someone want to add their own questions?

1. I hope Nolan comes back for the finale..
2. No spoiling to be had, the Flames are already out
3. If he even plays, hopefully! He was real good against EDM
4. If we really have Scott on the third line, things may be slow offense-wise…Missing a lot of important pieces.
5. Maybe later!

For those of you who’ve joined us on the Facebook fanpage, come check out gameday central (or TRASH TALK PLACE) and jump in! At one point, things started getting out of hand between me and this one guy… Come one, come all, it’s a lot of fun to trash talk the opposing fans (remember to keep it clean and no personal attacks, that just makes fans look bad)

Not a question, but a request..

In the last two months, my town lost two high schoolers due to car accidents. Now, this morning, another student was involved in a car accident and has been airlifted to the cities, and it’s not looking good. Please keep Hutchinson and the girl’s family in your thoughts and/or prayers. We could really use them.

Thank you! We just found out she successfully made it out of her first surgery, and was transferred to the U of M hospital. She’s also wiggled her toes, another good sign. There’s a lot of hope :)

She just made it out of heart surgery okay! :)

I'm assuming Russo's talking about the Bill Masterton trophy, If I'm wrong, correct me

Guillaume Latendresse has been chosen as the Wild’s nominee for the Bill Masterton trophy… that’s great, but anyone else think it should’ve been Zanon? The guy’s been playing on a broken ankle for like 3 weeks, blocking 100mph shots with it every night, putting his entire body on the line.. sounds like perseverance to me!

Brunette Drinking Game:

Take a drink every time you hear “Brunette working in/out of his office!”

Hammered by the first intermission.

Freaking insane. Bloody snow was coming in horizontal. The Dome was on emergency power when I got here, but all good now.

Good luck guys… But we need the win to end on something positive. ;)

I’ll be watching this, the NCAA semi-final and the Twins. Not necessarily in that order. I am kind of interested in tuning in to see all the new skaters at work.

The big fellers are having some nice passes, and Prosser’s getting to work with Zuperman.

Christ, is it common to feel your IQ points slipping away after reading the comments on Russo’s blog?

It’s a known symptom.

I’m not understanding something tonight.

The refs are calling actual legitimate penalties? This theory is new to me.

Game over

Backs was doing extremely well too…

by JSLandry on Apr 8, 2010 10:24 PM CDT reply actions  

Good thing they were playing the 6 million dollar man in a game that means nothing to either team just to prevent Dubie from playing.

Strange decision making.

Surprise surprise, a shitload of passing ruins the 5-3 and damn near gets the puck cleared out.

Yup, pretty much the season in a 1:33 span right there…

Thought we were gonna see a rumble. And Zuperman’s off to the bench.

by TylerDurdenUMD on Apr 8, 2010 10:42 PM CDT reply actions  

Backs is in the locker room according to Russo.

I’m not sure how serious it was since I didn’t see it so is this a good sign?

by taralynn09 on Apr 8, 2010 10:43 PM CDT reply actions  

And Zuperman is back already!

Speaking of sleep, I had the weirdest dreams last night… one of my dreams had us acquire Marty St-Louis (drooooool! hahaha) and another dream, different dream, had me telling a complete stranger that I had dreamt we acquired Marty St.Louis…. Think I’m crazy enough about the Wild? :D Good night everyone, pleasant dreams!
