Ok, that time of the year again. Who has season tickets, and where are they?? Looks like they will do pretty good this season. They have a couple of guys that have a good upside to them if they can step up. Section 111 row 7 (half a season) section 108 row 19 (half a season) Also, if anyone is looking for any games let me know (and no, I am going to see sid the kid). Russ
Section 208, Row 2. Full season. Stopped by the hockey lodge at the X Friday to pick up my new Reebok jerseys. Damn they look hot!
I'm up to ten games so far. mostly sec 124 row 25. I'm sooo happy I just picked some up for opening night.
A friend of mine has season tickets. I am going to be at the first pre-season game. I am not sure the numbers. but i know the seats are lower level, corner (hockey lodge side), on the end we shoot at twice. MY cousin works in ticket sales for the wild. so i will be trying to bum some tickets off of her occasionally throughout the season
Can't wait till tonight. Its been to long. of course, that will change about 3/4 of the way through the season. You can only eat so much xcel food before it make you cry. Martin, might see ya tonight. We sit on the 1st and 3rd period attacking end. Are seats are right under the goal horns. Right where the isle stops in the corner, we are 2 rows in front of that. Russ
^ cool. I am like 5 or 6 rows up from where the half row ends. however IIRC i am on the opposite side of the horn/lighthouse.
Boo.. friend fell through. not going to be at the game tonight. He bailed on me and the tickets are not in a 30 mile radius of me :-(
I was looking for ya last night. Didn't miss much, our b team got smoked by their b team. Kinda nice to see Irmen out there. Bummer about Boggie getting a penalty every time he touches the ice. You know that the officials have it in for him when he doesn't really hit the guy and he gets a 5 min major for interfierence and a game misconduct. I think Boggie had 19 min of penalties in the first 15 min of the game. Russ
^ GEEZ!. yeah it sucks i couldnt make it. I was looking forward to seeign some hockey. they thing that really sucks is that i had dibs on 2 sets of tickets. i thought i would only need 1, but i didnt plan on that falling through. The refs have had it out for boogie for a while, all last season pretty much. the games were so much more fun to watch when boogie could play a few shifts w/ getting called for lame stuff. he makes it interesting out there. Like when he raced the goalie to the puck and ran him over (got a lame penalty for goal tender interference, even though the goaly was out by the blue line) I will make sure to get down to some hockey games this season. they are too much fun to miss.
Bump back to the top. Season start on Thursday. Looks like they may do some damage this season. Thursday game should be a good one. They were pretty chipper with each other on Sunday (3 fighting major and 4-5 roughing penalties). Anyone else going to be there?? Russ
I'll be at the opener:yumyum: Sec124 Row23 Seats 15-16 feel free to throw someting at me. I will also be at saturdays game Sec115 Row26 Seats 11-12 once again feel free to throw something. GO WILD!!!
Nichol-Back looks AWESOME!!! Two shutouts in 3 games! I love the combination of lines... Some finesse mixed with some very hard workin players! Plus it seems we are actually winning faceoffs this year so far! Bouchard - Bellanger - Rolston = Conehead line! (from "Miracle")
8-4-2:banana:Figured I would bump this up since I am going to tonights game. Despite the losing streak we finally just ended the Wild are still first in the division and second in the west. Woohoo another win lets make that 9-4-2.
Yep, nice to see them pull it together again. Now if we can get the groin twins to start playing we might a good run. Nice to see everyone step up and get some goals when the groin twins are watching from the press box. Kinda glad they have the week off. I am almost burnt after this week. Every other day for a week and finish off the week with 3 games in 3 days. Russ
Next week will be nuts. The funny thing is that I called the exact game where Gaborik would pull his groin. I knew it would happen. Groinerik is cursed. On the plus side it was fun watching Nummelin playing wing this game. He has some sweet skills with a stick, I hope to see him up there more often (2 assists!).
^^^ completely agree on Nummelin playing wing on line 3 or 4 since he has some of the best hands on the team! I understand why he plays D but he is too undersized and not physical enough... When we get Sean Hill back we should consider Nummelin as a winger full-time! Big ups to Radio and Velliux (how ever you spell it) for workin hard each and every night creating havoc!!!
Velliux has been 10x better this year than last. its great having him out there. Nummelin was throwing a few checks out there, agreed he doesnt have the size but he can still do a good job. I heard his first season in the NHL he was playing winger and didnt do so hot. but in switzerland or where ever he used to play he was a go to goal scorer. we have a good team this year.
:banana:11-7-2 and first in the division Any lucky people going to tonights game? I'm not but do plan on parking my butt in front of the tv.
understatement of the century. lucky. This is a MUST see game. I will be trying my hardest to be infront of a tv/any tv at 7:00pm. I am looking forward to seeing tha crazy combos lamier is playing tonight. I am perdicting seeing lots of Voros, Boogard, and Veliux. Its gonna be nuts!
i missed the game! I had some car stuff i needed to get done before T-day so i didnt have a chance to see it. heard Voros got in a fight, and we stopped playing after it was 2-2
If anyone else is heading to the game tonight and hasn't left yet don't forget to bring something for toys for tots. should be a REALLY good game tonight!
I doubt it. They dont really have that many guys that wanna scrap. Foy and voros were looking for it all night.
Fun game! Its true that having Boogard out there is fun and can help sometimes but, this team can win without him. Personally I would like to see a few more goals being scored.
Vancouver doesn't have a big fighter, so to have Boogie on the bench isn't helpful. Greatest part of Voros is his energy. He celebrates like it is his first goal ever. When he got the game winner, the Vancouver guy is sitting on top of him and he is trying to get up to celebrate. Funny stuff. Either way, good game, another win, top of the standings. Russ
Brown is Vancouver's muscle. He was on the ice a few times "chatting" with people. Most notably Voros after he worked over Cowan. That's about as close to a big fighter as they get. ...and Foy... not a fighter. Man he dropped fast.
shoot what's nice to see is the all hustle lines with all these injures!!! line 3 - Radio, Moore, Vielliux line 4 - Foy, Shepherd, Voros these guys have been grinding out a lot of good shifts... GOD, I love hockey!! :biggrin: <<< ------ RUBE CRED...
Hopefully some others were watching that!!!! AMAZING! 5 goals tonight for Gaborik!!!! :eek4::eek3::eek4::eek3: 18 now on the year.... The arena sounded like it was ROCKING! Hockey town FTW!
^^^Woulda been a good game for sure! I was there Tuesday and that was a pretty good comeback, 3 unanswered goals in the third period to pull off he come back win 3-2! 20 and 12 now on the year... Lookin good lately... It will be a true test on Saturday when we take on the Red Wings (9-0-1 in their last 10 games)... GO WILD!
