Positives from tonight:

Questions to Answer
In the battle of underperforming teams, which one performs to their expectations? Frankly, both teams looked as if they were out of sync and missing major components. That said, the Wild didn't look horrible tonight, nor did the Canucks. Were it not a back to back, the WIld may have had some more gas at the end, but they looked exhausted.
Can the Wild take advantage of the large number of shots and turn some into scoring chances by crashing the net? Well, they didn't quite match the # of shots from last game in Edmonton, and didn't have a huge # of scoring chances, but it looked to be because of miscommunication and lack of chemistry rather than lack of effort. There were some nice plays around the net, but lots of centering attempts going into areas where someone should be, but there was nobody there.
Which Roberto Luongo shows up tonight? The good one. He was very tough tonight. Played the angles well, was great with the puck and kept the rebounds to a minimum.
Can Brent Burns find his game? Burns looked lost out there. It's like he's trying to do everything himself. He needs these few days off to get himself settled down and play within himself.
With no Pierre-Marc Bouchard on the ice, who will Alexandre Burrows try to kill? I guess with no PMB, Burrows stops playing chippy.
