My absolute favorite moment from last nights game did not come from the game at all, but rather a very humorous gaffe courtesy of Michael Russo before the game. Video evidence provided by Russo is linked below, enjoy!
The Wild will welcome the Blackhawks to town on Monday for their second game against the champs in 3 nights. If they are outplayed once again, I'm thinking the outcome will not be the same. The Wild will need to find their possession game if they are going to have much hope holding back the always dangerous Blackhawks.
One completely off topic thing before we get to the links. Now I'm not a college football guy, and this is likely the product of the local team of prominence, the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers have basically been terrible since well before I was even born. The Gophers however managed to do something they had apparently not done in 53 years yesterday, beat the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Busting a slump like that will always deserve mention in my book, congrats to those kids for doing what nobody thought they could.

In a night when the Wild were outplayed handily, they scored goals and won on the road. Corsi just hates this team, I'm convinced of it.

It does seem that we have a lot more shenanigans and goings on around the league lately. From line brawls in the pre-season to a questionable or outright dirty hits through the first 10 games.

A few very interesting points to be pulled out of this. It reminds me of the toe-pick days for us Wild fans a couple of seasons ago.
