    MoneyPuck playoff odds have us at a 20.8% chance to make the playoffs and VGK at 59.9%. I don’t hate those odds. A win today would bump our odds up significantly as well.

  3. Primary-Pie-3315

    Zach isn’t hurt he’s just scared of the whooping he’d receive and being the 2nd best 11 on the ice

  4. HerbalAndy

    Friday night hockey with a fresh case of Milwaukee’s finest? Sign me up

  5. simplyme216

    It’s a __huge__ slap in the face to Sammy Walker that Goligoski is the 4RW tonight and Sammy is in Iowa.

    Also ridiculous how the leadership has *now* decided to phone it in. This could be treated as a must-win game, but they have Goligoski slotting into the lineup as a forward…

  6. letoiledunordstars

    Just landed at MSP and first thing I see is that Dewar got traded too?? What the fuck?? Why are we trading our best 4th liner??

  7. PaxDragoon

    Gus is starting, and Middleton is a game-time decision.

    Edit: Per Russo

  8. slothhh28837938271

    I’m sorry did I just read Golisgosky is a winger tonight… 😀💀😭

  9. slothhh28837938271

    I know it’s a business but I feel bad for Duhamine playing us so soon, must feel so weird seeing your team for so long as the opposition

  10. TeamDumbledore

    Ugh I have espn + . Wish I could watch the game
