How do you think they'll do with Parise and Sutter in their first full season as WILD players?  

Saw this on another regional board....thought real hockey fans here in MN would appreciate it too!

See you at the games!

Best tripping I've ever seen!!

The Wild I think will make the playoffs again, but their goalie situation could be trouble. Backstrom is getting older, And Harding has MS, he seems to have it under control though. They need some of their young players to step up this year, Granlund, Coyle and Niederreiter.  

If they can survive injuries, it should be a great season!!

Thanks Sassy Red, you made my day!

Good food, great party. Go Wild!!

Backstrom is solid if not very good in goal. They look like they may have actually strengthened the defense during the off season, goal scoring will again be the issue, they seem to be hoping some younger players will have break out seasons.

Should make the playoffs, after that who knows?

This is the year we see if Parise and Suter are going to reach expectations. Yearly has lost 25#, he should be himself again.....Lose Cullen, he will b missed in the locker room. They WILL make the playoffs....

Cullen will be missed on the ice. We are short of centerman, especially if Coyle isn't suited there. Zucker will have to prove he can continue to contribute and Granlund had better make the club and do something, or he is going to be looked at as a bust.

I will miss Cullen (MN boy), Clutterbuck, Setogochi, and even Pierre-Marc Bouchard (when healthy he was fun to watch!)

Very excited to see the young guys play (in more ways than one!) Zucker & Coyle!
GO WILD!!!!
Kisses,
