   These next two games are must wins to pickup some momentum into what will probably be our hardest 5 game stretch of the season coming up.

   Rangers, Pens, Kings, Bruins, and Lightning is going to be very tough on the points chase.

   Vamos Gatos!

   Hey guys Wild fan coming in peace. Going to the game Saturday as I’ll be in Naples visiting my snowbird parents. So i read your faq about going to a game. But one more question how bad would you guys think traffic would be driving in from naples? I was thinking my dad and I should leave there at about 4 for a 6pm puck drop
