Myers: Confidence growing for Wild but many questions and tests remain | 1500 ESPN Twin Cities- This talks about the changing nature of expectations with the good start, but the Wild were trying to keep the expectations low, but now they're going to grow, because of the hot start, but then we're not managing expectations, but they look pretty decent and should get better, but the Western Conference is tougher, but the Wild started well last year, so what should I ex- oh, I've gone all crosseyed.

Ducks Should Cut Losses And Trade Corey Perry Before Deadline, He Doesn't Like Us Anyway - Anaheim Calling- Strong words from a strong blog, Anaheim Calling. Luckily, being Wild fans, there's no way we can sympathize with a team whose reluctance to deal a star player determined on walking away potentially coming back to haunt them.
