By Aaron Holm -
Last night your Minnesota Wild fought gallantly against the St. Louis Blues, fighting back from an early 2 goal deficit to bring the game to overtime. Unfortunately the Wild, despite their many chances to take the lead were unable to get that go-ahead goal and fell to the Blues in the shootout.
The team looked really good, as I said in last nights recap. Unfortunately they did not get the extra point out of one of the best teams in the league.
Next up for your Wild squad we welcome the Edmonton Oilers to town tomorrow night to try and help us shake this 2-game skid we find ourselves in. The competition may not be as tough when looking at the standings, but Edmonton isn't going to come all the way to St. Paul to lose either. The Wild will need to bring their 'A' game on Tuesday, and if they play like they did last night they should get the outcome they are looking for.

10 minutes, 4 on 4, that is all you need to know GM's. Go with that! Another format thrown around in the game thread last night I liked was no overtimes, 3 points for a win, 1 point for a tie. I think I can handle ties again, they don't seem to bother soccer fans too much.
