Timely victory

This text is replaced by the Flash movie. A disastrous beginning to the Wild's season was in serious danger of turning critical before the Wild rallied to topple the high-flying Colorado Avalanche 3-2 in a shootout in front of 18,175 Wednesday night at the Xcel Energy Center.

I don't want to pour any cold water on this victory for our Minnesota Wild but I can't help but compare it to the Gophers tie with North Dakota on Saturday night. The Wild and the NHL need to mandate they play on a larger sheet of ice. I know Noth Dakota has a NHL sized rink but the players are not as big or as fast. I would love to see the Wild play the Ducks at Mariucci arena where they had room to make plays.

Stanley Cup or bust????

Out with Nordy, in with Gordy!

Respect to tough-as-nails Wild timekeeper Gordy Lee for not missing a beat as the glass shattered around him with 4.9 seconds left in the game last night.
For everyone disappointed with namby-pamby Nordy (is it a racoon, or what?), I think the Wild should use an proven old-time hockey tough guy like Gordy to be the team's new mascot.
