Tonight's game theme:



And hopeful outcome:



Enjoy the game. Go Minnesota!

[GopherState]

Again, great job Puhis!

May the Wild choo-choo-choose a win on V-Day!

[Puhis]

Thanks. To be honest, I got lazy. The original idea was to have hearts around Wild player's faces and beaks on Ducks players but I lacked photoshop paint.net skills for that (I know, simple cut'n'paste job, but still) and I couldn't find pictures of Wild players with transparent backgrounds, so I went for the names instead. And even there, the font/color I chose looks horrible right at the bottom.

Still, at least it's a png so Avder's not going to lose his...



...Nevermind.

[Northland Wild Man]

Not sure if I will be around for the game tonight. Valentine's Day duties.

Cooking and cleaning?

Although that would be cheaper and would make my fiance happy, I have other things planned.

[Fel 96]

I hope they find a way to win with their white jerseys at home.

[this providence]

Is this the "Outing the Forever-Alones" Edition?

Ya, won't be around for this one tonight.

[Fel 96]

Also, I'm gonna miss this game.

Going to see Grigorenko in action again tonight. Grigorenko > The Wild right now

But thanks TSN2 for replaying the game at 1 am. Will record it.

Isn't this a national broadcast game on NBCSN?

Yup which is why the game starts at 6:30.

[Puhis]

Looks like it's just me going all GS then.


**** you all for having relationships. Or good looks. Or money.

Or something to do.

Other than installing updates to yet another PC. Or watching some stupid show on Disney Channel because my friend (who's sofa I'm rocking) watches it while Fight Night 4 is updating.

I've sent 37 job applications in this week alone. And it's only Tuesday.

I just used my kid as gf bait, worked wonders!

I've got bacon wrapped filet mignon, asparagus, twice baked potatoes, crab legs, and premium dark chocolate with dessert wine for tonight. You know, like every time the Wild are about to lose at home.

Love the AFLAC duck. Well done!

Try bacon wrapped chicken breast pieces some time. So good. Just roll them in brown sugar mixed with chilli powder (and whatever spices you like), then throw them in the oven. They get all caramelized with the brown sugar but still have a kick from spices...

GS may also be going GS. Forgot it was Valentine's Day so I didn't get a girlfriend.

I'm going to miss this game as well.

If everything goes as planned I'll be able to change this quote by this time tomorrow:

[Ceiu]

Oh man... You guys are making me feel like I won the GF lottery.

My girl asked me to take her to a movie tonight. All I responded with is "Hockey game." and she happily said "Oh! Nevermind then!"

Wonder how long that'll last...

You mean you didn't marry her after that? For shame...

What? I could never imagine kid and gf bait in a same sentence.

I wonder what cinema she's going to...


But seriously, I need a girlfriend not named .avi.

Yup, it's very important especially at that young age.

Good luck.

Have done, it's very good! Did a terriyaki version. My kid would not stop eating them for two days.

I was half tempted to do bacon everything. Bacon wrapped asparagus, bacon bits in the potatoes, and bacon chocolate.
