Tonight The Wild Go for their 8th straight victory when they take on the St Louis Blues Puck Dropped at 7:05. Do you guys think the wild will win their 8th straight?

They seem to be dominating the play but are behind 1-0 after one.

crazy to think what he coulda done with full season and no injury, he's at exactly 41 games now so double it and he'd be 50 goal scorer..... next couple years are looking bright with the Demitra Gaborik combo.... they played absolutely sick tonight....

the Wild are gonna be a top contender for the next few years, do you guys think that they would be better with Fernandez back in the net.

No, Manny has to learn for Backstrom how NOT to give such big rebounds.

Trade Manny for another top player in the off season and bring Harding in for good.
Both are young with bright futures.
The only sad thing is Backstrom has a 1 year contract, ](*,) is a unrestricted free agent next year and will be getting some serious looks from team that need a starter and have $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

i think the wild will be Resining Backstrom to a multi-year Deal, the wild would be stupid not to.

They're definitely going to try, but I couldn't see it being more than 3 years. Harding is the future of the franchise in nets and I see him taking over full-time in 2008-2009.
