Ok so last weeks road trip was...well it was tough to say the least! But hey, the Wild were extremely fatigued! At the end of the regular season they will have logged the most travel time and miles in the National Hockey League. So losing three in a row wasn't necessarily expected but it was not surprising for me anyway. Our boys played Columbus Sunday afternoon and as history would dictate Nick Backstrom had a huge game posting a shut-out the game after he got pulled after letting in 2 goals on 2 shots. A 3-0 win on the road is always welcome. It was made even sweeter when we kept Gaborik off the scoreboard in his first game at home in Columbus. Oh yeah.....and a certain recent acquisition scored his first goal in a Wild sweater! Welcome to the Wild Mr. Pominville
Tonight the NHL's best Chicago Blackhawks come to town and the Wild will have to bring their "A" game to come out with a win! Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews have been on an absolute tear! They both average over a point a game, I expect to see them on the scoreboard tonight! On the other hand the Wild are at home and are very well rested! I guarantee a sell out crowd tonight, and the X will be loud tonight. I'm sure there will be lots of Chicago fans in there tonight, there always is! The electric atmosphere will play to the Wild's advantage, we usually look very good at home! My prediction for tonight's game is a 4-3 win over the Blackhawks! I think we are in for a treat!
As always thanks for stopping by! GO WILD!!
