Big game for my Wild tonight. Vancouver at home tonight....Must win game. Rupp's first game with the club tonight too. We'll see how that goes.

I could see someone taking a run at him but I don't see anything major happening.

I don't blame the Bruins organization not wanting him back after the flakey sh!t he pulled this year.

You might see Brandon Bollig try and goad him, but if Torres is smart, he will decline....but he is a tough guy, he might go ahead and fight just to get it all behind him.

Should be a fun game. Lot's changes as far as the lines go. It will be interesting to see how Heatley plays with the 2nd line.

I like this move....Coyle looked damn good for a 20 year old.

I agree, I like it too. Coyle did look good, and Bouchard has a guy with a proven ability to score goals as a line mate.

Another bad rebound on a weak shot given up by Backstrom leads to a rebound goal. He looks like he is super slow this year especially side to side.

He's been giving up some big juicy rebounds, especially last night. I would have to guess Harding will be in nets tomorrow vs Nashville.
