The title is a bit longer for Kaptain Koivu today. He is now All Star Kaptain Mikko Koivu. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Should be a fun one tonight, as the Wild seemed to rediscover themselves on Tuesday vs the Sharks, save for the last ten minutes of the third period. A newly aggressive team could be a reawakening, which would be very bad for the Hawks tonight. The last time these teams met, it went to a shootout in which Niklas Backstrom was made to look remarkably silly. No matter the outcome, that won't happen tonight.
Niklas Backstrom is the latest to fall victim to a illness that apparently will now make its way through the locker room. Josh Harding had it yesterday, and now Backstrom has it. Backstrom flew with the team, meaning he was in a flying metal tube with the rest of the team with recirculated air for a couple hours. No way it spreads any further, right? Right.
The Hawks are always dangerous, with a whole host of players who could pit three or four on any given night. Their defense is prime, their goaltending certainly above average. If the Wild do not play a perfect game, in a hostile building, they will get destroyed. No taking ten minutes off tonight.
With re-alignment "off," this doesn't have the same rivalry feel to it that the last one did, but it will certainly be fun to watch. Hold on tight folks.
Five Questions:
- The aggressive Wild showed up in the last game. Are they around tonight?
- How does Koivu look with his newly minted All-Starness?
- Can the defense pull together and maybe NOT give up four goals?
- Who gets to be the hero (or goat) tonight?
- How does Setoguchi look in his first game back after sitting in the corner?

Psyched :)
My friend asked me to fill in as goalie for his hockey ball team tonight and we won a close 4-3 game… after the game, they asked me to stay on board full-time!
I was super bummed that I didn’t get to sign my team up, but now, I’ve got a team. Good day.
Now, on to the important stuff: The Wild.
Answers:
1. They damn well better be. They scored some grimy goals last game, and that’s the exact kind of goal the team couldn’t score to save their life in this losing streak. They’re a team built to grind it out, that’s the kind of goal they’re built to score.
2. Two points for the Kaptain tonight.
3. I think so, as long as they don’t suffer a sudden lack of focus at any point.
4. With the stupid stunt Seto pulled, he better be heroic tonight.
5. I think he’ll have a solid game. He has to realize that being a hockey player is his JOB, not a pasttime.

Nice work!
I’m expecting Seto to come good real soon. I think the top line is still trying to get it’s chemistry back. A goal tonight would help, big time.
umm, B...
Carcillo=Injured/Suspended
Kruger= Brains Scrambled and
Scott= Surely some mistake!
Emery starts in goal, not sure what the rest of the lines will look like (this is Q after all) but expect recent call ups Jimmy “Purple” Hayes and Andrew “No Nickname yet” Shaw. We like these kids
"Kevin, You can't play Doom Metal while wearing a scarf"
Yeah I noticed that too. It’s kind of a shame, I was hoping for some more Staubitz/Carcillo fisticuffs.
have you met Andrew Shaw?

This is a big game for both teams. The Wild need two points to gain ground on the Canucks, and the Hawks want to pass the Blues.

Game made even bigger by the fact that Colorado is beating Nashville. A Wild win could move them up to 6th and get some breathing room from Dallas and L.A.

A Hawks fan I chat with on Twitter thinks it’s a bigger game for the Hawks. I politely disagreed. We need to close the gap between us and the Nucks.

We need to keep our playoff spot. Last month, we didn’t think we’d be saying this right now.

Tickets are crazy expensive for the Madhouse on Madison. My brother went to college at UTI in Chicago. I went to visit him, wanted to go to a Hawks game, and then balked at the incredible rate those things go at.

I'd probably just be risky
and not buy tickets until a day or two before on stubhub or somewhere similar. I can’t afford most of the regular priced tickets.

Weekday games are usually a good bet for extra StubHub tickets. When I was in Chicago, it was during Christmas, so that probably had to do with no tickets at reasonable prices.

Montreal does have a losing mentality, so that shouldn’t be a surprise. That franchise is in some major disarray. The fans hate the coach for not speaking French, their captain is out for an extended period of time, they’ve got a bunch of overpaid players not producing. JS must be dancing in the streets.

But the way Cammy went out and said it… and then, that subtle jab about his coach not using him right, not giving him enough ice-time, despite the fact he doesn’t deserve that much ice-time after taking a full 3 months to score his first PP goal of the season and being a general liability defensively.

Canadiens acquire forwards Rene Bourque, Patrick Holland and a 2nd pick in 2013 for Michael Cammalleri, Karri Ramo and a 5th pick in 2012.

That's going to require a team with a pulse
I’m not sure, beyond the top forwards line, that this team qualifies

Probably the lone bright spot in this car wreck tonight is we haven’t to watch the Succubus…

Chicago has just found their 3rd period strategy
Stay in the box and keep this Minnesota Wild PP on the ice as much as possible. Hell! If their bench doesn’t interfere, they would have a shortie already. You’ll get one yet, Hawks, just stay with it…
Being from Minnesota, it would be rude to put something clever here.
To the Wild, PP means Pretty Pointless

PP usually means "clownshoes" for the Hawks.
I don’t know what happened today. I’m confused…

Fuck, boys, you don't need the puck..

He has been hustling every shift. Maybe everyone else should miss a meeting and spend the night in the pressbox. Looking at you, D men…

Big hit by Schultz
Leaves Bolland all alone for the ENG. I see what he was trying to do there; not a terrible idea with nothing to lose, but just another example of this team not making the plays.

sorry you guys didn't enjoy the game...
but thanks for letting me visit during the game & not banning me outright :)

We don’t ban anyone. This isn’t Edmonton.

You didn’t give us the slightest reason to ban you. In fact, you’re an example of how to behave when visiting a rival site.
Thanks for dropping by!

I don't know what to say...
Glad to win.. but the difference between this game and the last one is crazy.. what’s happened to you guys?
"Kevin, You can't play Doom Metal while wearing a scarf"
Injuries...at least, that's what started it
Now, it’s a complete and utter lack of faith in their game. No confidence, no drive, no effort.

yeah..
your guys had nothing after the first period (aside from a late flurry in the Third when you were already in deep shit)… I hope it gets fixed soon, because I like the Wild and you guys..

Thank you and goodnight
I’m going to be within spitting distance of St. Louis on Saturday night. We might be stuck working depending on how things go, so it is probably a moot point. However, even if I had the time, I’m not sure how much I want to pay to see the Wild get demolished by the Blues…
Being from Minnesota, it would be rude to put something clever here.
I should probably be more upset than I am.
We could have won this game, oh well.
That was one quick trade.
