Volpatti-Lapierre-Weise
Edler-Hamhuis
Bieksa-Ballard
Salo-Alberts
KNOW YOUR ENEMY
-The Wild may be a low-scoring team right now, but they don't allow many goals against either. They won their last game 2-1 in a shootout over the Oilers. Dany Heatley tied the game with 2 seconds left.
-The Canucks were 4-2 against the Wild last season and the scores in those games were generally lopsided. So expect the unexpected when these 2 teams play eachother. Always entertaining.
-At the beginning of each month the Wild are having a "Mustache Boy" shootout contest during practice. Pretty sweet idea. Guess who the loser was for October.

The Last Meeting: The President's Trophy was handed out, Manny made a studly return, and The KesLORD PUNISHED Minny for their collective sins:
This Clutterbuck fail will never get old:

I think it’s fair to change it to goal if you and Yankee Canuck are willing to continue the bet.

OK, I’m in. I’ll let Yankee decide for himself

Tries to pull himself back up half way down. Didn’t get knocked out whatsoever.
Plus I don’t think he cried at all like some of the Sharks last year.

4-2 Nucks, Kesler
In summing up, it's the Constitution, it's Mabo, it's justice, it's law, it's the vibe and... No, that's it, it's the vibe. I rest my case
5-3 Nucks
Dank GWG

You went off to find - anything else - anything less

Kesler bags the winner.
I'll do it tomorrow, that seems like a pretty good idea to me

Well, I mean it’s pissing rain and has that high humidity chill going on.
Yeah, HFIC, this is pretty much normal. But we had a cooler, wetter summer than normal. To the point where people are really not looking forward to winter. They never had much of a summer!

I think I saw somewhere
that the south coast of BC may have it’s coldest winter in 40 years or something this year. :( Of course, last year they said we’d have the most snow in 40 years and that didn’t happen, so…

I would gladly
Trade you a ton of our heat and sunshine here for the temps we had
for the two weeks we were up there on the Sunshine Coast.
We had decent weather, it rained a little the sun came out.
Never got above 75.
Denver’s weather is getting warmer and warmer and it’s lasting
longer and longer. It’s like summer never ends!

I find it sad for Sturm that him getting a GWG
ranks alongside your other SPW predictions, such as “Chi 11- Van-1 Chris Chelios 5g” (last year) and “Edm 8-5 Gretzky 3, Messier 3, Kurri 2”

Maybe he is. I couldn’t find out which one was starting the night before. So I have to guess at starters most of the time.
I actually like Harding. Not sure why. Maybe just because he’s a backup that I thought would be a #1
