Minnesota Wild (25-22-8) vs Anaheim Ducks (22-24-9)
Xcel Energy Center @ 7:00 PM CST

There once was a game preview here. In addition to losing all of the data on my hard drive, apparently, the SBNation editor decided it would be funny to eat the game thread too. I'm not rewriting it. You know what's at stake. Enjoy the game.
Five Questions:
- How does Scandella look in his return?
- Any chance the Wild shut down the big 3?
- Harding in net. Does it matter?
- Is Foucault a boost or just another warm body?
- Anyone ready to play actual hockey yet?

You have to respect what they have built but damn it’s hard for me to feel any excitement for them.
So far - 2 periods
I’m liking Cullen better on Wing. Good news: Johnson looks like his old self again. Bad News: why did it seem like his game dropped significantly when moved back down to the 3rd line. I’m not going to dwell further on this. I like the way he is playing tonight.
No Dany Heatley on the 3rd line
Heatley is good enough that people around him are going to look better. It’s a side effect of being an elite player.

Well,
missed trip against the Ducks leads to an Anaheim goal…. missed trip on the Ducks leads to a Ducks PP. I think my spite is justified.
Wasn’t a trip on Christensen. He just flopped.

No, it is not
A ref catching a puck up high and cheering about it is never cool.

Those guys go out and try to police the fastest and one of the most violent games in the world. They don’t get the benefit of wearing pads to stop vulcanized rubber.

Plus
They’re only human. They’re going to miss a few calls. I’m a soccer ref, I know how it feels.

Exactly
People expect refs to be perfect every single time while watching 10 dudes, 2 goalies, and a flying puck.
I personally felt that this game was very well officiated.

26 games left after this one.
Does anyone even think they win five of those?
Really, at this point
It is better not to win that many
Being from Minnesota, it would be rude to put something clever here.

I would agree
I’d like them to sell off what they can and prepare for next year.
Yowza
Ref got a big slapper up high. Not too proud about the fans cheering about that.

Well
Wild should move Brodziak soon, probably Harding, dangle Setoguchi, Zanon and Zids will likely be told to ready there bags, who else…
don't feed the trolls
Perry might carry this team to the playoffs again.
Any talk of moving him, Getzlaf or Ryan would be ridiculous.
Fucking shit.
How the hell did they not score there? Sigh.

Hiller, that was some mighty fine work by you at the end
Credit where it’s due.

Yup, he schooled the Wild.

Entire game
He made some really big saves to keep Anaheim in the game through the first two period. The Ducks did not look that good in the first couple periods.

fuck, fuck, fuck , fuck , fuck
They need to be able to score more than 1

One Goal Wonder Wild
lose again. I can’t remember last time they scored more than one goal (wait Canucks but were dominated so hardly counts) Granlund hope you like MN because GMCF is signing you NO MATTER WHAT!
don't feed the trolls
this game was a massive pile of shit!!!

I had to walk away from the laptop and take a few deep breaths there...
This team is really pissing me off. We’re making the same mistakes every signle game.

I'm officially looking to next year
For sanity’s sake, I suggest you come on board. Like I (@redheadzeb) said on Twitter:
Making sure the playoffs are out of reach before the deadline might be the best thing this @mnwild team can do.
Being from Minnesota, it would be rude to put something clever here.
I don't want to give up just yet...
But it’s starting to look bleak.

I honestly wish they could have "moved on" last year
The would have stocked the system even more. As it sits now, we’re still probably 3 years away from seeing success. AND that comes with some huge “what ifs” attached…
Being from Minnesota, it would be rude to put something clever here.
3 years is fair.
1 year to be a one and done in the playoffs.
1 to make a small run.
1 to make the conference finals/Cup finals.

Kind of exactly what I was thinking :)
Maybe 4 years to make the Conf. Finals/Cup unless we get some luck.
Being from Minnesota, it would be rude to put something clever here.
3 NHL players are off limits right now
Koivu
Backstrom
Heatley
Schultz, Scandella, Spurgeon are tough sells.
Outside of those 6 and our core prospects I’m willing to have open market

I think you have to consider offers for everyone
I do agree Koivu, Heatly and Backs are “off limits” but not so much for the sake of the team but for the status of their contracts.
Being from Minnesota, it would be rude to put something clever here.
I also agree, I would rather ice a team next year with them than without
At least Koivu and Backs. I’m not a Heater Hater, but if we can get a great return for him—make it happen.
Being from Minnesota, it would be rude to put something clever here.
he's the closest thing to a natural scorer we've had since Gabby
I’ve got glorious dreams of a Koivu/Parise/Heater line. sole reason I want to keep him.

Oh, I'd love that too.
Wonderful dream that it is; I’m in.
Being from Minnesota, it would be rude to put something clever here.
Schultz would have a market. His contract his reasonable, he is a shut down d-man, and rarely looks bad. I bet he could pull in a second.

Master of unsustainable passive regression.
Is a future without him worth a second rounder?

Another one goal game?
I say we blame Harding.

Obviously
It’s Bob Mason’s fault ;-P

looked like there were some silent whistles for a bit there.
No excuse for scoring one goal for the 5th time in 6 games.
