Minnesota Wild @ Dallas Stars: Game recap

For Dallas perspective, please visit Defending Big D

Hi there! Miss me? No? Ok, I understand. Anyway, it's good to be back. Life gets in the way of hockey sometimes, huh? Anyway, let's get on with it.

With the game heading into overtime, Wild fans have to feel good with getting a point out of this one. The team really had no business being in this game, and their effort (even when being outshot 13-9 in the third period) was not lacking.

Either way, take the loser point and go home.

Hockey Wilderness Three Stars

Five Questions

Can the Wild find a way to stay in this one? They worked hard. Played a solid second period, but were just too tired and took too many tired penalties to come away with the win tonight.
Can they limit the Stars to less than 40 SOG? 33 total, many in the third period and overtime where the Stars took advantage of tired Wild legs.
Does Jose Theodore have it in him to change the team's luck in Dallas? If it weren't for his defensemen screening him all night. Jose needs to start yelling at people (I'm looking at you, Greg Zanon)
Is tonight the night that Fletcher is forced to make a move? I don't see why. Who can be moved? Who is available?
How many "North Stars" references are made tonight by bitter Wild fans? I only noticed four.
