One Point at a Time
Another Game Another Tie for the Wild
If the Wild can somehow emerge from there scoring woes, they will look back at this time and be relieved that they still managed to pick up points in spite of virtually no offense production.
Despite being dissapointed in giving up a late goal to lose the 2 points, the Wild will take the single point and hope that there offense gets on track next game.
Moreover, if the Wild wish to focus on the positives the play of their 2nd line (responsible for both goals) is somewhat encouraging. This coupled with continued strong goaltending from Thibault and Snow means the Wild should not hit the panic button...yet.
The Wild play next Tuesday against the suddenly hot Stars. One wonders if Kevin "Wanks" Weekes will be able to dupliicate his heroics of last game.
Game Notes
- Rob Niedermayer was kicked out of the game early in the first for a "hooking" penalty on Kyle Mclaren. A strange call
- Vitali Yachmenev made his Wild debut and was a -1.
- David Legwand and Yannik Tremblay both had 2 point evenings
- Brian Rafalsk iwas in a ornary mood dishing out a game high 7 hits.
