Today? no. This season? yes.

I'm an outcome based supporter. They aren't scoring very much, and are letting games get away even when they have the lead. Hopefully it all works out and they get the results.

I agree. Unfortunately Kuemper sucks, so he'll still be on the bench.

The Wild haven't sucked for the last five games. They have been incredibly snakebit for the last two, however.

Yeah, they don't suck. They just can't put the biscuit in the basket. They finally after all these years play a fun style of hockey and they have no one who can score.

Mr. Regier, the Minnesota Wild are on the line...

I hope Fletcher is smart and waits for him to be a free agent. Dumping Heatley's cap hit will help.

Im not saying the Wild are incredible, just that they don't suck. The PK needs shoring up, and obviously they need a few guys to finish a little better.

If they can get him cheap enough and they are contending (as we all hope) this season, it would be OK to go get him for the stretch run.

Other teams will be afraid to overpay for him since its likely he won't resign. So the Sabres have little negotiating leverage.

The Divealanche announcer is still hilarious, with his stupid, boxing-style announcing.

McLeod was indeed, within inches of rearranging Kronwall's face. No matter what your opinion of Kronwall's hits (and I'll admit he's had some questionable ones), McLeod's was worse, despite what Dives fans will scream.

This pretty much hits the nail on the head. They're entertaining, and when I watch the games I get the impression that they're a good team, but they just don't score and they don't win. Frustrating to say the least.

Harding has been nothing short of phenominal the last several games, if he doesn't start ahead of Backstrom from here on, someone needs to pull their head out of their ***.

Classy - can't remember the last time Kronwall hit a guy from behind. Can recall a few that may or may not be classified as "high".

Doesn't matter who it is, what their reputation is, or how much they may "deserve a taste of their own medicine," there is no place for those types of hits in hockey. And we have had about 4 in the past week. Shanahan is going to be finding a few more gray hairs in his scalp this weekend, me thinks.

I think it was a pretty unprofessional thing to say.

The hit itself was pretty bang bang though. Kronwall changed direction at the last possible moment and they were both going full speed. If anything, McCleod (sp?) shouldn't have finished so hard, but the contact was probably inevitable at the time that Kromwall turned.

My .02.


Those types of plays happen awfully fast in real time. It really looked like K was going to continue into the corner until... he didn't.
