Questions to Answer

  1. Will Guillaume Latendresse have an impact in his first game the way Andrew Ebbett did?
    Can the Wild come out with a solid effort against Colorado, the way they did against Boston?
    Craig Anderson has been sliding back to Earth lately. Will that continue today?
  2. Do the Xcel Energy fans suffer from Trytophan hangover, or will the building be energized?
  3. avalanche.nhl.com seems to overlook the next two games with the Wild. Will the Avs do the same?
