I will ask now, since I may not have time tonight. The Wild play the Devils tonight, one of the worst teams in the NHL. If the Wild should find a way to lose tonight, I ask you, will you please stay away from bridges and cliffs? Thank you in advance.
Yes, the Wild head to face their old coach, hopefully for the last time. It still amazes me that Lemaire continues to show up behind the bench. Mostly because he's getting to that point in life where if he gets hurt, it's going to start being life threatening. A slippery surface for two hours every day doesn't seem like the best work environment.
Not telling him what to do, or wishing him ill. Just that if I got that call at his age, my answer would have been: Are you nuts?
East coast game means it is a bit earlier than most. So, get the Question of the Day out of the way, and submit any final "fact" based tidbits for the HWRG2000. The machine is warming up as I type this. Sometimes it takes awhile, but the process has begun.

Yesterday's Headlines
Editor's note: In an effort to bring you all of the Wild coverage we can, we have launched the "yesterday's headlines" section. As it sits, this is where you will find the coverage from the Pioneer Press. We have no idea why they do not release the news the day it would be relevant, but it is their right not to do so. Thus, "Yesterday's Headlines."
