I think so. I think they will win.
The Blues have given up 10 goals in their last two games while scoring only one. Granted, they  played Pittsburgh and Anaheim. Based on stats they Blues are the favorite:
2.86  GFA , to the Wild 2.12
2.86 GGA, to the Wild 3.38
Perhaps the most interesting state for this match up [...]

In Mikko Koivu’s first game as the official permanent  captain of the Wild he lead the team to their two goals and shootout victory.
In the first period it was Koivu’sshot that produced a nice rebound for Burns to flip it home. In the 3rd period scored a goal and another power play chance and then had [...]

According to Michael Russo:
Cal Clutterbuck is now skating with the teams and ,while he won’t play tonight, it looks like he may be ready sooner than expected.
Martin Havlat is also skating with team and may be back soon. Could be in the lineup tonight.
Petr Sykora is skating again and should rejoin practice soon.
Kyle Brodziakhas a [...]

Tonight should be an interesting night for more than one reason:
#1- It’s the firest Wild home game in quite some time.
#2- They are wearing their “Miller High Life” Jersey’s tonight.
#3 – Chuck Kobasew should make his Wild debut.
#4- It’s Koivu’s first game with the “C”.
That’s the good stuff. The bad stuff is that Colorado comes [...]

Not a huge surprise. Last year’s best player and well respected player in the locker room, Mikko Koivu, was named permanent captain by coach Josh Richards today.
Well deserved, I’d say, even though the beginning of this season has not been that great this year.
Even so Koivu is clearly the leader of this team and has been [...]

On a weekly basis I will be posting some thoughts on the rest of the local pro sports team (sometimes college teams as well).  What can I say? I love sports.
Minnesota Vikings:

Another great wins on the log for the Vikings. Now 6-0, Brad Childress appears to be getting close to receiving a contract extension (like [...]

BUT STILL MANAGE TO LOSE.
The 2-1 lost the the division rival Canucks was tough. It was the first game in my estimation that the Wild gave a solid effort for a full three periods. Defensively the team looked good, Backstrom was very good in goal.
The Wild figured to be a offensively challenged team before the [...]

The Wild have huge roster problems with all of the injuries and have also have given questionable efforts in some of their games. Against the Oilers, they played hard but another poor performance by Harding was just too much to overcome.
It’s hard to imagine that the Wild could win very many games with all of [...]
