FLYERS-WILD SERIES HISTORY: Current and Miscellaneous:
The Flyers' W-L-T-OTL record is 6-3-1-1.
The Flyers' W-L-T-OTL home record is 5-1-0-1.
The Flyers' W-L-T-OTL away record is 1-2-1-0.
2000s:
October 11, 2000 -- The teams played to a 3-3 tie in Minnesota. Eric Desjardins' (8 shots) goal midway in the third period finished the scoring. Peter White scored twice for the Flyers. Manny Fernandez made 36 saves for the Wild. Philly held a 7-2 shot advantage in OT and 39-22 in the game. Mark Recchi suffered a concussion and missed 13 of the next 14 games. It was the first home NHL game involving a Minnesota-based team since the North Stars played their last game on April 13, 1993. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said prior to the game "Minnesota and hockey is a no-brainer" and "I'm sorry we left. Bringing pro hockey back here was by far the right thing to do." A sellout crowd of 18,827 witnessed the game (there were two prior preseason games). Gino Odjick and Andy Sutton fought --
March 15, 2001 -- The teams met in Philadelphia for the first time and Roman Cechmanek (15-save shutout and one assist) and Michal Sykora (1-1-2) starred in the Flyers' 3-0 victory. The shutout was the rookie's league-leading ninth of the season and fourth in his last seven starts. Since Bill Barber became head coach, Cechmanek started every home game and had a 16-3-2 home mark in 21 appearances. Rick Tocchet gave the Flyers a 1-0 lead with an unassisted PPG. The Flyers held a 36-15 shots advantage and went 2-for-6 on the PP. Manny Fernandez stopped 20 of 22 shots before suffering a sprained left ankle and was replaced by Jamie McLennan who made 13 saves on 14 shots. Prior to the game, Mark Howe was inducted as the 17th member of the Flyers' Hall of Fame.
December 8, 2001 -- Jan Hlavac's two goals within 42 seconds broke open a tight game and the Flyers won 5-1 in Philadelphia. Luke Richardson gave the Flyers a 1-0 lead, his only goal of the season and came after he missed the prior 10 games due to a fractured right foot. Richardson, who broke his right foot November 10, scored his first goal in 51 games dating to January 22, 2001. Mark Recchi had three points. Roman Cechmanek made 31 saves. Prior to the game, Jenny Barber, the 48-year old wife of Flyers' head coach Bill Barber, died of lung cancer after an eight-month battle; the couple was married for 28 years. "For my family's standpoint, Jen and my kids thought I should be here. On top of that, I felt the same way for my players that I wanted to be here for them," said a solemn Barber.
February 10, 2003 -- Manny Fernandez made 30 saves and Pascal Dupuis scored in the first period in leading Minnesota to a 1-0 win in Philadelphia. The Flyers won 35 of 55 faceoffs, including 12 of 15 by Keith Primeau, and outshot the Wild 30-19. Todd Fedoruk fought Matt Johnson ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1luFcd6Hcf8 ) and Brad Brown.
February 12, 2003 -- Dwayne Roloson made 31 saves in leading the Wild to a 2-0 home win broadcast on ESPN2. Cliff Ronning and Wes Walz scored, Ronning's goal coming late in the second period to snap a scoreless tie. Minnesota shutout the Flyers twice in three nights and two goalies made 61 saves. It was the first time an NHL team had consecutive shutouts in a home-and-home series since the Flyers did it to the Rangers in October 1999. In the last nine games, the Flyers scored just eight goals. Jim Vandermeer fought Jason Marshall in the first period.
November 20, 2003 -- Mark Recchi (2-1-3) starred and Robert Esche made 21 saves as the streaking Flyers (7-0-1 in the last eight) won 3-1 in Philadelphia. Recchi, who scored two PPGs (the first coming on a 5-on-3 advantage), Tony Amonte (GWG, 1-1-2) and Jeremy Roenick (0-2-2) combined for seven points. The game's four goals were scored in the final six minutes of the second period. The lone goal by Minnesota was by Alexandre Daigle which tied the game 1-1. The Flyers held a 41-23 shot advantage. A lengthy scrap between Jim Vandermeer-Brad Brown: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xz4EWG_ljGQ
December 17, 2003 -- Eric Chouinard was traded to Minnesota for the Wild's 5th round choice (Chris Zarb) in the 2004 Entry Draft.
December 10, 2005 -- Branko Radivojevic scored with 53 seconds to play in the Flyers' 3-2 home victory. Radivojevic was sent on the ice as a defensive solution but picked up a loose rebound off a Mike Knuble shot for the GWG. The Flyers led 2-0 midway though the game but the Wild eventually knotted the game 2-2. Kim Johnsson scored for Philadelphia as did Peter Forsberg (1-1-2) who returned to the lineup after missing six games with a groin strain. The Flyers were without Simon Gagne, Eric Desjardins, Keith Primeau, Joni Pitkanen and Turner Stevenson.
December 5, 2007 -- Jeff Carter had two points in the first period and the Flyers skated to a 3-1 win at the Xcel Energy Center in Minnesota. Antero Niittymaki made 28 saves. The Wild went 1-for-8 on the PP while the Flyers failed on just two chances. The Flyers had three minors in the first 5:18 of the game but led 2-0 after the first period. After 86 seconds, the Flyers' two leading scorers, Daniel Briere and Mike Richards, were in the penalty box and Minnesota had a five-on-three power play for more than a minute. The Wild had a called goal overturned after a video review couldn't find evidence that the puck had crossed the goal line. Minnesota did score in the second period but Braydon Coburn made it 3-1 in the third period. Hits: Minnesota 15, Philadelphia 1, according to the final scoresheet. Highlights -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwxWJM0RLTE
January 8, 2009 -- Martin Biron made 27 saves, the Flyers' PK was a perfect 8-for-8 and Mike Knuble and Scottie Upshall (1-1-2) scored in the third period in Philly's 3-1 home win. Knuble's GWG came seven seconds into a PP, the Flyers only manpower advantage in the game. The Flyers were 6-for-6 on the PK, including a kill of 1:03 of a 5-on-3, before getting a PP chance. Scott Hartnell's tying goal in the second period ended Niklas Backstrom's attempt at three straight shutouts and 149:09. Mike Richards won 17 of 23 faceoffs. The Wild's Brent Burns played 30:03. It was the Flyers' first home game after a 6-game road trip. Arron Asham and Eric Reitz fought -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HA6k0Qk20e8
2010s:
February 6, 2010 -- Anton Khudobin made 38 saves in his first NHL start and Cal Clutterbuck and Owen Nolan scored in the Wild's 2-1 win at Minnesota. The Wild took a 1-0 lead late in the first period after miscommunication behind the net caused Michael Leighton's attempted clear to land directly on the stick of Clutterbuck. Dan Carcillo scored 16 seconds later to even the score. Nolan scored the GWG just past the midway point of the game. Minnesota beat Philly for the first time since 2003. Highlights -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvykuoTnxUU
March 25, 2010 -- Minnesota rallied for a 4-3 OT win in Philly. Kyle Brodziak scored the GWG which came as a result of a deflection off Chris Pronger's stick after Brian Boucher made the initial stop. Niklas Backstrom made 32 saves. Martin Havlat and Andrew Brunette scored in the third period. Philly led 2-0 at the 4:18 mark and 3-1 after two periods, holding a 35-21 shots advantage. After the game, Pronger said "It's a lack of focus, a lack of concentration, a lack of desire. That game should be locked down at 3-1. This late in the season, that's just unacceptable."
A little of both but the Wild GDTs are actually a pretty happening place now.
Well it's not like there's a big market for #2 goalies.
I remember last year you had 1 fan who posted every post in your GDT ,,, Was pretty sad
Happy to see things are improving
Harding could have fetched a #2 maybe a little more a couple years back. The Wild always seemed to want to hold onto him for some unknown reason even when Backstrom was playing lights out

Yeah thank god that drunken loser doesn't come by anymore. I think he needs to put on pants and get out of his mother's basement once in a while. Now there's real posters on the Minnesota forum who actually know the game and could get a date and talk with girls.

Just wondering (after checking your last GDT), I saw that a bunch of your new guys joined in March. Were they all from another forum?
Glad to see you are getting a more active forum! I remember last season you giving out cookies.

Probably refugee's from official boards
Hawks forum has been getting a trickle of them over last year ever since NHL changed up there boards
Amazing job on the GDT my friend - can't think of a more appropriate choice in songs!
