Mn WILD 2009-10 season

From watching on tv it looked like they put in a fairly solid effort finally. I'm not sure what the situation is but they generally seem to have no drive, no determination.

 

Whew, 2 much needed points! hopefully they can put together a win tomorrow night. Also, kobasew hat trick ftw!!!(even if one was empty net)

Saw a dgm 08-09 wrx sedan w/steelies and I think spt exhaust heading into and outta our same parking area.

 

If anyone else is going to tonights game pull a toy from your mnsubaru toys for tots pile and bring it to the game, they are taking them at the gates.

Pretty sad we put the only two toys in the box at the entrance we went in. Turned out to be one hell of a game though! Its nice to see them put a few wins together.

 

Anyone else see the ref picking his nose and wearing glasses during the goal review last night?:laugh: Its funny I can pick Russ out from any spot in the arena.

 

Nice header-goal by Brunette on Saturday night!

 

This was hilarious, especially the glasses.

 

I am pretty pumped for next Monday, my first NHL game! Got tickets for Christmas from the g/f's parents, it should be a good time!

 

I went to the game on new years eve against LA. It wasn't a very good game to watch other than the fights. Had great tickets 10th row right next to the ice crew. Would rather of had tickets at the other end but since all of the action was around the wild goal that night it ended up being the place to be. $8.00 for a beer or $4.00 for a water... tough choice haha

 

We are planning accordingly, going to have a few before the game before they are $8.

 

Nice gift! what section are you in? I've got Russ's seats(WRX1)sec 112 that night.

This. We always get there early and do a lap around the place just to check things out. I'll give you a scavenger hunt. find my wifes name. (hint)#1863 on the puck wall. And its not a monster truck show, stay in your seats until a break in the action. Same thing for returning to your seats from the concourse(the ushers will remind you) have fun!

 

I'm going to my annual Flames game on the 6th. Go Calgary!
You can assume the Wild will lose that night. They have never beat the Flames when I've been at the game.

 

And you can hang out with the mullet dude. :biggrin:

 

We are in section 207, row 2. Should be decent seats, we had similar ones for one of the WCHA final 5 tournaments.

 

Yeah, they are gonna get whooped.

Of the 7 home losses this season, I've been there for 3 or 4 of them. Since I've got tix (110, row 5 w00t!) to the the Flames game, I'm going to assume they will lose again. :laugh:

 

Off to the game in a bit!!!

 

Interesting game. Pens missed quite a few solid opportunities, then again we missed a couple too but got lucky on a couple others. Decent game though. I thought clutterbuck was going to fight. Latendress (sp?) has been turning out to be quite the trade:laugh:. Havlat is an amazing player but damn, stop always looking for the pass and shoot the puck.


Anyone go to hockey unplugged? We're going tonight and received vouchers for autographs. Will they sign whatever or do they hand out pictures or something? I have a koivu mug I'd like signed. :biggrin:

 

Clutterbuck/Gonchar got a bit heated there at the end, and every time Gonchar touched the puck the whole place boo-ed, pretty funny actually. It really wasn't that exciting of a game, not to say I didn't have a lot of fun. If Fleury playing any better would have made it hard for the Wild. A lot of luck on half the goals last night for each team.

 

Got my mug signed. It was a little weird, I think Koivu was more interested in the rangers game than being there but I can't really blame him. There were people there from 1pm, crazy.

 

I got my tickets for the skills competition thing today. They're in suite #55 I'm not sure where that is but they were free so what the heck, I'll go
check it out.

GO WILD!!!! maybe they can make it 5 in a row tonight.

 

Still an up and down season but I'm still watching. Is anyone else going to the skills competition this weekend?

 

I'm toying with the idea of going.

Word on the street is that both Sykora and Earl were put on waivers this morning. However, my work blocks twitter so I haven't been able to verify it yet.

 

I'm glad to hear the skills thing may be fun.

 

^^^Cool. Yeah we'll be there. I bought tickets in december that came with tickets in a suite for the skills thingy, It also inlcuded a team yearbook and a meet and greet with Todd Richards and Chuck Fletcher not a bad deal for just buying a couple tickets.

 

Anyone know of a good bar for Wild games? Where they have specials during the game?

 

We brought a bunch o pucks to be signed at the skills competition first we grabbed Housley, Ramsey, Broten then we went to Backstrom, Harding, earl. My wife got Nolan, Schultz, Johnsson and Sheppard. even with the amount it travels around I've never seen the stanley cup so that was kinda neat, the events were kinda fun too.

 

It's hockey time again!

Is anyone going to the game next tues 3/9? They are handing out the last patch of the year and I'm not going. I've got the first five so I'm looking to get the last to complete the set. I'll trade for one of each of patch #2,3,4,5 for one of #6. pretty please?

 

I'll take you up on that. We're missing one or two I think. Exchange info in PM?

Seats are going up again next year and for those in the lower ends/corners pricing will be difference depending on which side of the ice you sit on (wild attack once vs attack twice). Lovely.

 

^^^I'll send ya a pm. Also any chance anyone has an extra promotional mug from last year? The only one I didn't get has Brent Burns on it. I've got an extra of each Lemaire, Koivu and Gaborik if you wanna barter.

 

I'll look for the mug, too. We've got like a dozen of them (dunno which ones).
