Game Thread: Wild @ Predators, 2/26

[IndyAndy]

The Wild failed to take care of business against what is roundly considered to be a 'doormat' team on Tuesday: Can they bounce back against what might be the best team in the NHL at the moment?

Haula!!

Minny scores 1st, late in the 1st, in an up-tempo game where both teams look evenly matched so far.

Mike Fisher ties it up for the Preds mere seconds into the 2nd Period.

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

Stupid pipes.

 

[IndyAndy]

Brodziak!!

2-1 Wild

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

And Buffalo took care of the Canucks!

 

[IndyAndy]

... And just like that, Craig Smith ties it back up.

 

[IndyAndy]

Niederreiter!!

Now if we can just keep Nashville from answering right back.

 

[IndyAndy]

Niederreiter again!!

He puts an exclamation point on the victory with an empty-netter.

4-2 Wild is your final.

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

Lose to the worst team. Turn around and beat the best. On the road no less.

Lose a head scratcher then win one we weren't supposed to.

We'll take it. Now gotta keep shuttingg out Colorado!!
