The thing about the Wild is, I don't think you can ever write off a team with a Vezina finalist manning the crease. The most intriguing thing about Minnesota this year for me is to see how Backstrom can respond now that he doesn't have a strong defensive system to help him out. I'm a goalie myself so I'll always vote for the guys in net! Yeah their powerplay was certainly effective against us on Wednesday.

So far this year if you can stay full strength against the Wild you will probably win. So far the only thing we have going for us is that the Wild are pretty damn good on the PP and that teams we've played so far have given us plenty of PPs. I agree that the Avs beat themselves.
