Minnesota "Wild" 1 - 4 Toronto Maple Leafs

One of the few requirements here at SBNation is that we provide game recaps within a certain time frame after a game is played in which a team we cover has participated. Thankfully, there is a loophole. If you can prove to us that the Minnesota Wild actually participated in this game, we will gladly provide a game recap.

Rather than waste your precious time on a fairy tale, we simply invite you to visit our friends at Pension Plan Puppets. From what we can gather, the Maple Leafs actually participated in a game this evening.

The Bennett's Chop & Railhouse Stars of the Game:

1. Mikhail Grabovski (1G, 6 SOG)
2. Phil Kessel (1G, 5 SOG)
3. Johan Gustafsson (20 Saves)

Five Questions:

1. Does Heatley / Peters / Setoguchi work? Nope. The positive? It wasn't any worse.
   
2. How does Backstrom look in his return? Not good.
3. Justin Falk sits. Can Zanon steal his spot? Not a chance.
   
4. How well does the Wellman - Cullen - Clutterbuck line work? Not any better than anyone else, no.
   
5. Anyone coming out to Skate for the Troops on Saturday? Seriously, click the link. COme on out and say hi. Great event for a great cause.
