Minnesota Wild (25-19-7) at Dallas Stars (26-22-2)
American Airlines Center @ 7:00 PM CST
Television: FSN

The Wild haven't won in Dallas since March of 2003. Does that mean anything going into tonight's game? The players will tell you know, the stat folks will try to tell you it doesn't matter. Of course, both would be dead wrong. There is a reason why the Wild haven't won in Dallas in nine years, even though the Stars have not always been the greatest team during that stretch.
Probably pure coincidence.
Tonight begins the Erik Christensen era for the Wild. He will slot in on the third line, maybe getting some power play time should the occasion arise. There is not a ton of confidence from his former fan base, but the Wild side of coin seem to be reserving judgment. Fans here have burned by trades too many times to get overly excited by them in the early goings. Hope for the best, plan for the worst.
The Stars have a cobbled together roster that has cost them in the standings as of late. Sound familiar to anyone? They still certainly have the capacity to put a hurting on any team in the NHL, but they certainly aren't the glory days anymore. A cursory glance at the roster says the Wild, should they play their game, have a good chance to win.
History, of course, says otherwise.
Looks like Zidlicky gets his shot to return to the lineup. How he responds will be an excellent indication of his ability to handle adversity. You can bet your life if he goes out with a -3 tonight, he doesn't see the ice for a month. Or maybe that's just me.
It would be a lie to say there is a great deal of confidence exuding from this side of the computer screen. Stranger things have happened, but it is tough to beat a curse.
Enjoy the game
Five Questions:
- How does Christensen look in his first game in a Wild sweater?
- Can Backstrom follow up his shutout with another solid performance?
- Can the curse be beaten?
- How does Zidlicky look in his return from the dog house?
- If a game happens on a Saturday night, in Dallas, and no one watches, does it still count?

Good luck tonight guys!!
Hopefully the win from the other night will get the boys up and going! They deserve another big win.
Hands go uuppp..... AND THEY STAY THERE!

Thanks very much! :)
Hope you guys beat the Blues tonight too…in regulation…pretty please.

Christensen
Judgement needs to be reserved but the last time we got a player with some skill that was supposedly not a top 6 forward it happened to be Lattendresse who potted 27 goals and was a monster. In Fletcher we trust.
Just got back from a long long day in the recording studio.
Time to chill out and watch some good hockey.

Gotta do what you love!
I’m studying to become a translator. Might seem tedious to some, but I like it. I love writing, so translating will make me better at it. It’s a pretty good living in New-Brunswick too, high demand since it’s the only bilingual province in Canada.

Yeah it was pretty much the only thing I could see myself studying.
A translator? That’s interesting. What languages do you specialise in?
Minnesota Wild's international fanbase.
English and French for now
I’ve been speaking both languages ever since I could talk. I’ll be learning Spanish as well, which I already know the basics… thinking of maybe going for a master’s degree and learning even more languages.
I used to study to become a teacher, because it was also the only thing I could see myself doing, but since becoming a writer for HW, I discovered a new passion and teaching seemed more and more like a chore instead of a future career and I lost interest.

Probably a good decision to get out of that before it was too late.
That’s amazing . All I have is English, and some very basic Irish…and that’s a struggle. My brain just does not do well with new languages….

Living in a bilingual place helped me a lot
And yeah, it sucked to decide to quit teaching after 5 years of studies, but better late than never

I have a weird feeling
Christensen sets up a Setoguchi goal. I know they’re not on the same line, I just have a feeling.
Maybe on the PP?

Kings 1-0 up in Carolina.
End of 1st period.
If the Canes can turn that one around. then that would be a big help to the Wild.
That’s asking a bit much. According to @ice_chip
Kings 9-0-1 when leading after one. Canes 1-13-0 when trailing after one.
I want to believe in the Canes, but….

Anything can happen....
And a Kings loss here means that we’re 3 points behind with 3 games in hand (including tonight’s)….

Had a dream last night
that Christensen scored 2, including the game winner. Fingers crossed
Koivu, Granlund 2012
Tonight, you lucky readers will see something that doesn't happen too often here
A dual recap! I’m writing the first half, Nathan or Bryan will be writing the rest.. I’m only here for the first two periods.

The reason Kassian needs to be playing,
is right there….Ott has cheap shotted 3 players and he isnt affraid of anyone on the Wild Roster. people laugh at Staubitz.
Ott did the same thing against Minnesota on Hockey Day when Kassian was in. Ott is going to push the limit every single game, no matter who’s in.

Then Kassian just needs to throw the gloves down
and kick Otts ass. the instigator rule is what keeps players like ott in the league.
I'm amazed Ott is only 6th in the league in penalty minutes.
Then I realized he only has 5 fights.

Russo sez: Gotta love #mnwild mentality tonight. Everything at the net. Took 52 games
don't feed the trolls
now if we could only
get zid to understand this concept….
I think what Yeo is doing
is proving once and for all that even with the right lines for Zid he still sucks. That way he can say, I put you in the best possible instance to succeed and you failed no crawl back to the press box where you belong this year.
don't feed the trolls
so when do the Wild
get dancers? watching the Canes Kings game, me likey the dancers….
technically we have "ice girls"
they just get to wear jeans and tight girly-shaped jerseys.

especially if the Wild keep crashing the net and keep the pressure up. Eventually something has to fall in. Doesn’t it? DOESN"T IT! no I guess not.

Is Setoguchi playing tonight?

He’s played with good energy…he just hasn’t had any big chances.

Not capitalizing in the 1st really hurt, but if the Wild bring this kind of effort again Columbus, they give themselves every chance to take a W. Plus, Koivu could return against Vancouver, and then it’s Columbus, Anaheim, and Winnipeg at home
