Game Thread: Wild @ Hurricanes 11/9

[IndyAndy]

It's time for Minny's (9-4-4) one visit this season to Raleigh to take on Carolina (6-7-3). Will this be a close match between two teams with roughly similar standing in their respective conferences, or with this be a "Bestern vs. Leastern" smack-down?

It's almost time to find out.

Canes have won a couple of games in a row, but the Wild should win this game

Pominville!!

...And I was just about to complain that Minny wasn't finding Carolina's end of the rink.

 

[IndyAndy]

Ryan Murphy gets Carolina back even.

 

[IndyAndy]

1-1 after the 1st. Carolina is giving just as well as they get: This one should be a real battle all the way.

 

[IndyAndy]

Jiri Tlusty (sp?) puts Carolina ahead, 2-1.

 

[IndyAndy]

Fontaine!!

All tied up.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Justin Fontaine having a nice rookie season so far for the Wild

 

[IndyAndy]

2-2 after the 2nd.

Carolina's PK is looking stout - Which is good for them, because they're getting a lot of chances at it (4 already tonight)!

 

[IndyAndy]

Still 2-2 after the 3rd. Carolina's best period of the game: Harding certainly had a few scary moments there.

OT has not been Minny's strong suit so far this year.

Spurgeon save's Minny game with great hustle after Carolina nearly had a two on nobody.

Have I mentioned how much I like this kid before/

Good game, Carolina. - You've got a tough, scrappy team.
