Wild @ Canucks GNT

Everytime the opposing goalie handles the puck, I want to hear "You fat bastard!"

Mason Raymond isn't falling down near as much this season...

yah ... i only heard one "Now heres Mason Raymond (pause) .... stumbles" last night

that line definitely has some chemistry ... didnt think Schroeder would work out being so small but he has been flying around and selling out doing whatever it takes

The biggest surprise for me has been Schroeder's defensive game. It's really improved since he started in the AHL.

It'll look even better when we get Kesler and Booth back. Our top 3 lines will be:

Sedin - Sedin - Burrows
Booth - Kesler - Kassian
Hansen - Schroeder - Raymond

Hearing reports that Luongo gave Darcy Kuemper a pre game pep talk and welcomed him to the NHL.

Wild rookie Darcy Kuemper strong in NHL debut despite 2-1 loss to Canucks - NHL.com - News

Kuemper admitted to feeling "numb" before the warm-up at Rogers Arena, but some quiet words of encouragement from veteran Vancouver goalie Roberto Luongo managed to relax him.

"We were stretching there at the red-line, and (Luongo) tapped me on the pads and said 'good luck, play your game'," said Kuemper.

"So that kind of helped calm me down too, that was awesome of him. He is one guy I've been watching for the past five or six years trying to emulate his game, so yeah it was pretty cool."

Edit... forgot Higgins.

Who gets bumped to the 4th line when Kes and Booth return?
