GDT: Minnesota Wild @ Edmonton Oilers | 8:30PM CST | FSN, FSWI

[DeuceMN]

I am loking what I have seen from Keumper. But, I do not understand why he is starting and Backs is not. Backs has a stellar record against the Oil, albeit, he did get pulled a couple times, so it's not completely accurate.

Still, if Backs is healthy, it's very strange he is not playing. Especially in such a need to win game.

 

[Dee Oh Cee]

Nothing is confirmed in terms of the lineup for tonight yet....but Russo is usually right.

 

[W75]

For a Few Points More..

[Gaps]

I think it's okay to let Kuemper play if Bäckström's not 100%. Otherwise it's a little strange.

 

[Fel 96]

Wondering if Brodin will talk to Hall during the game.

 

[Turrican*]

I just came back from the future.

Good game, you guys got those 2 points pretty easily.

 

[Clutterbucked]

Im sure this has been said before but win or loose, a few goals and 60 mins of solid play would be nice.

 

[W75]

Wondering if Brodin will talk to Hall during the game.

He doesn't have to. Didn't Darth Zenon adopted him? "Brod, I am your father".

I'm sure Padre Konopka will handle that part. Not like Brian O'Reilly but in a different way

 

[TheSauceBoss]

just win

in regulation. Feels like its been 2 weeks since the Wild have played.

 

[Granlund 64]

Looks like Backy is starting according to Russo.

 

[Fel 96]

Well at least, Brodin said that was a clean hit.

 

[tomgilbertfan]

Justin Falk, Zenon Konopka, Johan Larsson scratched for #mnwild

 

[El Nino22]

I'm hoping this game has some edge to it. These boys need to get fired up and a good rivalry game with some scraps and high intensity could do the trick.

I predict a wild 4-2 win. Praise x2, granlund, Heatley

 

[GopherState]

Let's be honest: this is another whoopin' on the road to 48-0!

NW Divisional road games = the suck

I want this nonsense to be over already.

You and me both.

 

[Billy Mays Here*]

3-1 victory in what most Eddy fans will call "a boring game against a boring team". There will also be quotes such as "freakin' Zucker dominated us in the AHL and now he's doing it again in the NHL" and "Backstrom continuing his dominance of the Oilers".

 

[Fel 96]

Well at least, Oilers fans know Zucker.

I think this game is really a toss up. It is so hard to tell who is going to win this one.

Hope both our teams have a good, clean game.

any lotterynumbers or lineups?

 

[GopherState]

Well at least, Oilers fans know Zucker.

With a name like Zucker, you know it's good.

With a name like Zucker, you know it's good.

Brilliant.

I know some Edmonton fans are lurking in and out of here. Just wanna point out that the vast majority of us are hoping for a good, clean game in which no one is injured -- including Taylor Hall. Above all, we're all hoping it isn't too boring for you guys

 

[tomgilbertfan]

I don't want Hall injured, but what would be great is Brodin shutting him down all game.

 

[Fel 96]

@Temoryian Brodin says it was clean

If it is boring, I hope that those who find it boring have insomnia and need the 2.5 hours of sleep.
