Is it safe to say that Suter/Weber are both not nearly as good without the other?
They were playing Brodin with Suter last night and evidently the results were phenomenal. Brodin is a solid player and was easily their #1 last night. Taking a lot of pressure off Suter. That being said... Hawks win 4-2
BTW they're hating pretty hard over there, so this should be a great night
Dang, my bad. N-Stars packed up and left some time ago.
lol, people up here don't give a damn about the North Stars. Then again.. that was 20 years ago.. and they just recently started to dislike the Hawks. Up until 7/4/12, most of them rooted pretty hard for us

Didnt realize it was that long. Gotta play a tune in memory...
Without going through stats, goalies that come to mind that typically kill the Hawks are Bryzgalov, Vokoun, Price (haven't seen much but really sticks out), Cam Ward, (same thing)....drawing a blank on others but if I was going to throw a backup out there, I'd say Labarbara.
Wild ar a one line team right now. I think that line had 10 of the available 12 points against St. Louis the other night. Stop that line and you will win.
Solid strategy.

I'd be surprised if it wasn't Suter - Brodin for the foreseeable future.

He also called Leddy "not Cam Barker". No butthurt about those two from us.
Not many confident Wild fans after that terrible 3rd period against the Jackets last night. I think a lot of us would be happy to come out of this with a point
this game needs to be a win to kick off this road trip as it only gets tougher from here.
the Wild are very much improved, but still very beatable. I agree with saying shutting down their top line and we win, but that ofcourse is common sense and a lot harder to do then say. it will be a tough fought game, but I think we should pull this out. plus I dont want SJ being undefeated longer then us.

While I agree this would be a nice game to win, it is far from a must win. We lead the league right now, must wins don't come until the end of the year.
Yesterday, Q said Rozy may skate today so I’m hoping he can play tonight. He hasn’t been great, and has had a few turnovers, while Brookbank has been mistake prone in each game he has played.
Unless he turns it around quickly, I think Shaw’s days at center are numbered.
I repeat myself when I say let’s return to the up tempo, possession game we saw in the first three and a half games of the season…. With the dmen joining the rush when they can.

This. The guys have looked flat the past couple games and you have to wonder if they're coming back down to earth or if it's just the condensed schedule. I'm hoping it's the latter.
The Hawks were a bit flat because they were tired. They had 2 days to rest and Minny played last night and there the Hawks should have a fair bit more energy than any of those on Minny. With two days rest, they should be coming out flying tonight.
The Wild's GDT calls Toews a lockout d-bag and Kane a drunken d-bag.
Just having a little fun guys, both are obviously great players but they've done plenty to make non-Chicago fans dislike them. Besides, is it that far off base?
