Minnesota Wild (25-21-8) vs Columbus Blue Jackets (15-33-6)
Xcel Energy Center @ 7:00 PM CST
Television: FSN
Listen Live at: KFAN (100.3) or Wild.com
For the Columbus perspective, check out The Cannon
Time to put up or shut up. In the past week, the Wild have lost to the last place team, and lost to a favorite for the Cup. Their coach is livid, a player has been sent packing, practice scrubbed for a long team talk. Now, again facing the last place team, the coach and GM want a response.
Teams that feel embarrassed are dangerous. How many times have the Wild faced a team coming off a pounding and wound up on the receiving end of a statement game? This is the Wild's chance to return the favor. Should the Wild lose tonight, I am not sure I would want to be one of the guys in the roster. Maybe that's just me.
Mike Yeo wants the Wild to play without fear of failure, to play the way they played in November. He's not the only one. 18,000+ inside the X want to see exactly the same thing.
The Jackets are not going to simply give the Wild their confidence winning game. The Wild still have a history of struggles against the Jackets. Rick Nash is still on the ice. They still scored just one goal against a weak goalie with a lack of protection from his defense. They still have scored just five goals in the past four games. Nothing on the roster has really changed.
The change needs to happen between the ears of the players, not between the pages of the roster.
Should the Wild come out with a warrior's ferocity, the Jackets would be in a great deal of trouble. However if the Wild come out hard, and then let of the reigns, it will just be more of the same.
Enjoy the game folks. No matter what, it's still hockey.
Five Questions:
- Does Mike Yeo get his response?
- Is there a way to stop the Wild Killer?
- The top line looked good against Vancouver. Any chance they pour it on against Columbus?
- Who steps up for the Wild? Anyone at all?
- At what point does Mike Yeo just sign a contract?

Well, the Wild already have more shots in the first half of the first period than the Predators did in their entire first period… so that’s something!

-nashvillepredators-
I saw the Preds were
up early, then I saw they lost….I was kinda pissed. I was hoping they would beat the B’s.
Mhm. It went from 1-1 to 2-1(Boston) to 2-2 to 3-2(Nashville) to 3-3…. the OT and SO. Definitely a back and forth game! I went with my roommate, and this was her 2nd NHL game ever, so it was a pretty fun game for her to see. I really wanted to beat them too… unfortunately, the Preds didn’t all show up til later.

How many games have the Wild won since we started posting their warm up song? Maybe they/we need a new one that will actually pump us up to a win.
don't feed the trolls
Well, it’s all of their warmup songs. If you let the first one play through, there are more after it.
But… maybe that’s a good point, maybe we stop and see what happens.

As doom and gloom as it sounds,
I think the Wild will lose. The Nashville and Dallas losses have seemed to drain any momentum the team was building up. That, and the Wild have played down to their competition recently, so I think Columbus will give us another slap to the man berries.

Shanaban probably would have said Dorsett toe-picked and didn’t mean to launch himself, thus leading to no suspension

in fairness, he
was tripped by his teammate as EC was sliding to avoid the hit, thus making it seem as thou he launched himself.

I played forward a little bit on my travel team (mostly during PP), but yea 99% of the time it was D. I’m pretty little, so hitting wasn’t my thing, but I was pretty fast.
I don’t play competitively anymore, but during the summer I play with my dad’s men’s league (they let members’ kids play during the summer if they’re over 15). So that’s fun. I’m going to bring my equipment up to Boston next year, though. I really want to find a women’s rec team.

No offense but...
Might wanna take off those shades, the Wild are getting crippled by crappy play mixed with bad luck.. but mostly crappy play.

I said to myself before this game
that if the Wild lose but have 50 shots I would be happy thinking hey they are working and the luck just wasn’t there. I lied to myself. It still sucks and the Wild need Granlund, Zucker, Coyle, and Phillips here to provide any offense at all. This team is no longer a playoff contender and needs to get some goal scoring in any form. Also is it just me or is there a curse at the X that says goal scoring is not allowed by the home team? We can no longer blame JL and it is almost time to forget ‘he who shall not be named’ but the Wild can NOT score goals.
don't feed the trolls
