Minnesota fails to make a move by the deadline. Here comes another first round exit in the playoffs.

Wow, look at the investments that other teams made in. do you think Colorado is going to improve that much. Will the chemistry come that quick for this years Stanley??

We pick up another 15 year old with PIM?

Do you think the WILD program is holding off to someday grab players that just cannot fit under somebodys salary cap? Let’s take a look at Pittsburg and their future salary cap. Malkin & now Hossa will need to sign big deals!!
What cut Sid? :shock: The will not be able to afford all the talent.
Younger talents please WILD. Thanks old guys!

The Wild, with newest member Chris Simon on the ice, defeated the Tampa Bay Lighting by the score of 3-2 tonight in Tampa, Florida. Hopefully this can spark a little rally for the team!

The Wild need to get it rolling. They are in 7th in the conference and 3rd in the division. They are only 3 points from being on the outside looking in.

Three points from the outside looking in and point from leading the division and #3 in the West. Its like the playoffs are starting early this year as every game will mean so much. Especially with 9 out of 12 remaining games being against divisional teams. 8)

In my opinion, the Wild need to win the division to make a run deep into the playoffs. They need to get two points in at least 7 of the remaining 12 games, probably 8. It's probably going to take 90 points to get into the playoffs and 92+ to win the division.

Three games coming up including tonight’s PRIME TIME on VS game with Colorado.
We play them three time and we need to take all three if not just two of them.
Score early and score often.
Show Forsberg he pick the WRONG TEAM!

This is the season, starting tonight.

Andrew Brunette was so stupid to let go, dumb move WILD

He didn't pick the wrong team. Would you want to play for a team that needs scoring and then trades for Chris Simon?

Yes, if that team got their brains beat out in the playoffs last year. The Wild need Simon and they could use Forsberg. The Wild did not lose due to a lack of offensive skill....they lost due to not having 1-2 defenseman that can kick your butt and not having 1-2 forwards that can score and beat the crap out of you.

Simon has scored 30 goals in this league before. Fedoryk has some offensive skills - both as much as Branko Rado, but with the ability to pick and win some fights.

Wild 3 Avs 1
MAYO SPARTANS!

I bet you Fedorik and Boogaard will dress most nights. A lot of it depends upon matchups. The Wild looked very good tonight. They still need to learn to finish. They are getting great defensive play and if a young gun like Sheppard or Pouliot can help out at all the next three weeks... I see the Wild winning the division and winning in the first round, then who knows? X-factor might be Backstrom.

Maybe, when thats all you have, but on most teams you won't see clowns like that dress pass the first round.
