PrintBoston Bruins at Minnesota Wild, Feb 19, 2012 2:30 PM CST
Minnesota Wild (25-24-9) vs Boston Bruins (35-19-2)
Xcel Energy Center @ 2:30 PM CST
Television: NBCSN
Listen Live at: KFAN (100.3) or Wild.com
For the Boston perspective, check out Stanley Cup of Chowder
It's "Hockey Day in America." To celebrate, we have a pop quiz.
Multiple choice question of the day. Which choice is the most embarrassing?
A. The Wild are likely to lose a game to a team that has Benoit Pouliot on the roster
B. Benoit Pouliot has a decent chance of having his name etched on the Stanley Cup
C. The Wild having lost 23 of their last 27 games.
It is a tough decision, but for most of the you, the answer is not likely to be C. If it is, please take a moment to reflect on A and B and get back to us.
Let's face it, the Wild are, with near certainty, going to get crushed today. Teams that get mad when they lose to the Vancouver Canucks, but not when they lose to the Columbus Blue Jackets twice in five days don't beat the defending Stanley Cup champions. Some teams, after getting trounced the night before, would come out with a chip on their shoulder and assert their ownership of this particular pond. Not the Wild, and not against the Bruins.
The Wild have struggled against Steve Mason and a host of backup goaltenders. Is there any belief out there that they will some how solve Thomas or Rask? The Wild have struggled against defenses like those of the Blue Jackets with James Wisniewski as their leader. Is there any belief they can get past or stop Zdeno Chara? The Wild have found it difficult to stop the offense of the lowest scoring teams in hockey. Is there a belief they can stop Patrice Bergeron and Tyler Seguin?
If the answer to any of the rhetorical questions above is "yes," you are a stoic fan in your belief. You may also be a candidate for the new anti-delusional drug study.
Mikko Koivu remains out. Warren Peters suspended. A rag tag bunch of Houston Aeros, teamed with a group of Wild players that clearly have given up face the defending Stanley Cup champions. The word on the street says the Bruins have struggled off and on. The Wild are just what the Bruins need to get back on track.
Of course, there is always a chance the Wild pull together and find a way to win this game. Although, there is also a chance that peace is found in the Middle East, gas prices drop under a dollar a gallon, and Harley Davidson will simply ship me a Dyna Street Bob for free.
I'm not holding my breath.
Enjoy the game.
Five Questions:
- Is there a shred of pride to be found?
- Zidlicky back in the lineup. Over under for plus / minus is set at -3. What you got?
- How is it possible Benoit Pouliot still has a job?
- National TV audience today, does that make it worse?
- Anyone left to blame? Maybe Congress?

Hey, what are your thoughts on the Gill acquisition?
I'm that ''ignorant dumbass'' who writes with the ''whiny idiot homer'' over at Hockey Wilderness.
Twitter: BubbleWild48
I think most Nashville fans are happy with it
Gives us more depth along the blueline, allowing Weber and Suter to play less minutes (especially on the PK) which should make the team better. Also frees up some of the younger D (Ellis, Josi, or Blum) for a potential trade for the elusive top-6 forward that we keep hearing the organization is trying to acquire.
by Old Kentucky Shark on Feb 19, 2012 2:49 PM CST up reply actions
I'm happy about it.
Before Gill, here were our 7 Dmen: 2 played half the game (Weber/Suter), 2 were rookies (Josi/Ellis), 2 made me nervous whenever they were on the ice (Hillen/Bouillon), and 1 was a pretty constant solid (Klein – finally; last year he TERRIFIED me). Weber and Suter need someone who can help decrease their TOI but still play solid D, and hopefully Gill can be that guy. I think he will be. Especially on the PK, it will be REALLY nice to have a Dman who basically specializes in that position. We haven’t really had that before (except for Klein)… Weber and Suter do the job well, obviously, but they can’t play all the time. I think their TOI is starting to take a little bit of a toll, and we want them fresh and playing well for the post-season. Also, Hal is a BIG guy, and man have I wanted one of those on D! We need someone who can keep people off of Pekka Rinne, and even if he isn’t a very aggressive guy, he’s BIG and he can move people. That’s what I want. We’ll see. Some people are unhappy about how much we gave up for him, but I’m not too devastated (Geoffrion, Slaney (undrafted guy), and a 2nd round (I think?) pick). Giving up a pick kinda sucked, but what can you do. Geoffrion also wasn’t producing up here OR in Milwaukee, and I think the Habs were excited to get the “whole collection”. To me, it was worth it. I’m excited to see him play tonight.
Hands go uuppp..... AND THEY STAY THERE!
-nashvillepredators-
You are correct about the 2nd-round pick
Nashville will also receive a 2013 5th-round pick if Geoffrion plays 40 or more games next year.
You know you're a Wild fan if Spam Whoopie Gerald-buns comes up in conversation
Mikael Granlund = Suomi Savior
Which really isn't that steep of a price
It’s really a pair of 2nd-round picks (Geoffrion and the pick) for a proven playoff defender like Gill.
You know you're a Wild fan if Spam Whoopie Gerald-buns comes up in conversation
Mikael Granlund = Suomi Savior
Yeah, I thought it was fine. Plus, it's a seller's market.
I wanted to include the POV of a few other people who were unhappy with it just for some perspective, but yeah I’m happy. A little sad to get rid of Geoffrion (who was raised in Tennessee; I actually saw him play once or twice at the local rink when he was younger, which was cool), but it was worth it, I think.
Hands go uuppp..... AND THEY STAY THERE!

I think we may set it today,

Zidlicky is so fucking bad that Lucic beat him by standing still and facing the wrong way.

Big concern thus far
Yeo has got to do a better job of keeping Heatley and Setoguchi away from Chara. I don’t see how playing into that matchup helps a poor offensive team.

Maybe during SOs they just need to let 2 or 3 Wild players skate behind the playing taking the shot… they wouldn’t be allowed to touch the shooter or anything, but they would just make Backstrom think the actual game was still going.

Backs hasn’t really lost any games for the Wild on their most recent streak
don't feed the trolls
I disagree completely with putting Christensen on the 4th
When we’re healthy, I understand. I know he hasn’t done anything since the trade, but he can put forth some offense. Definitely more than Powe.
I wonder if Tim Thomas is nervous because he thinks Michele Bachmann might be here and he wants to make a good impression?

Overreaction to the Ryan Miller/Milan Lucic incident
You know you're a Wild fan if Spam Whoopie Gerald-buns comes up in conversation
Mikael Granlund = Suomi Savior
Yup.
Man, I’m sure you saw the whole Tootoo/Miller thing, right? Where Tootoo was basically pushed into Miller by a Buffalo Dman? I’ll admit, it was a little questionable because Tootoo tried to jump out of the way of hitting Miller (which looked bad), but I honestly don’t think he was trying to run Miller. Not like the Lucic incident. But people wanted Tootoo’s head on a STAKE. It was insane.
Hands go uuppp..... AND THEY STAY THERE!
-nashvillepredators-
I remember that one
I think Tootoo’s reputation of being an agitator probably led to the focus on the hit. Cal got a lot of the same from yesterday’s game against the Blues with his goalie interference. Agitators have a reputation that precedes them, so I’m never surprised when people want their heads on stakes.

Mhm. The Shanaban video review was interesting (if I’m remembering correctly – again, too lazy to go look it up right now) because he briefly brought up Tootoo’s history, but then said he wasn’t classified as a repeat offender, but then said his history factored into the decision. Go figure, haha.

Repeat offender is within the last two years or something like that. It’s a different concept than total history. I could be wrong, though…
