GDT 1/27 Red Wings @ Wild

We're gonna try something fun for this GDT.



A preview of the game according to 00Xtremeninja.

The Over Rated and Over the Hill Detroit Red Wings visit the Minnesota Wild this evening in a battle at the Xcel Energy Center.

Annoying asshole Todd Bertuzi will once again try to score a goal on the Wild pissing off hockey fans everywhere, while at the same time Cleary will more than likely be adding assists by parking his fat ass in front of Backstrom. Zetterberg and Datsyuk will try to get in the action as well, but Detroit powerhouses like Maltby and Leino will be making the magic happen.

On the other bench, Wild captain and conqueror of women in the greater Twin Cities area will be looking to make an impact tonight. Watch him look to add to his impressive point streak. The incredibly sexy Latendresse will also be looking to add some points against the Red Wings this evening. Brent Burns appears to be skating again. Instead of netting any points, he will take a puck to the mouth and will lose his other front tooth. For some reason, this will make him more attractive to girls world wide.

Fun stat: The Wild are 10-3-2 with Robbie Earl in the lineup, including 9-0-1 in the last 10 games.

Injury Report: The following players are not going to be playing this evening because they are getting rubbed down by hot women: Stoner, and Kobesew. Bouchard is getting his head massaged by the Bosley Institute to try and help his concussion as well as help him regrow some hair. The following players are getting rubbed down by oiled up men: Franzen, Holstrom, Williams, and Leilja.

And to close up this abortion of a GDT, we offer you a quote from the ever so brilliant Detroit captain, Nik Lidstrom--"We have to find a way out of this … playing a lot better in our own zone and bearing down when we have to. It's not fun. It's disappointing when you're giving points away the way we have been. We know we need the points right now." When asked about this quote in the Red Wing locker room, Datsyuk was quoted saying "The only thing he should be captain of is stating the obvious." So Nik, our hats are off to you Captain Obvious!

Wild In-Game & Post-Game vs. Red Wings


The State of Hockey News
An objective and balanced view of Minnesota Hockey

Solid effort and two goals from Miettinen power the Wild to strong 5-2 home win over the Red Wings

The State of the Union address is tonight, and millions of Americans will both tune in (and perhaps more will tune out) to see what President Barack Obama has to say about the direction our nation is headed. It is always an event filled with anticipation over what may be said and what may be left unsaid; but its an opportunity for him to address congress and the American people on just where he thinks we are as a nation in the realm of our economy, health care, education, terrorism and our environment. NHL seasons do not really have a State of the Union type of address from its commissioner Gary Bettman and perhaps that is a good thing. In the realm of entertainment and sports, image is important and an image seen more and more across the league is empty seats. The economy is starting to make its mark, and even though the NHL has persevered through these difficult economic times better than than other leagues like the NBA it is still a visible reminder that spending is tight for many Americans and that buying $70-$100 seats is not as important as paying the bills. Individual NHL teams have their own version of a State of the Union when they play each night. Each game is a statement about a team’s direction and fans often base their opinions as to how they perceive the team’s momentum. A win against a quality opponent or a team that is ahead of (insert your team here) in the standings is looked as a sign of hope and achievement. Just as a loss to a team beneath (insert your team here) in the standings is an ominous harbinger of things to come. Or at least the fans dramatize it that way; sure its irrational but it sort of goes with being a fan.

The Minnesota Wild face their own sort of State of the Union address this evening. A few seasons ago, fans would’ve tolerated and maybe even accepted a failed late-game comeback to fall to the mighty Detroit Red Wings 4-3 in a shootout as they did last week Thursday. Yet with the Red Wings sitting on the very edge of the playoff window, earning points against Detroit are crucial for a team hoping to climb within striking distance of the playoffs as the Wild hope to be. Minnesota will have to climb over the top of teams like the Anaheim Ducks, Dallas Stars and quite possibly the Detroit Red Wings if it wishes to make the playoffs, so a win tonight could be a pivotal step forward in that long and arduous process. The 2010 Olympics have compressed the schedule immensely and there will not be a lot of time to make up ground when play resumes so its important to get as close as possible before the chase begins. Will the Wild make a statement by defeating the Red Wings tonight in St. Paul or will they take a step back and feel good to be this close to Detroit’s shadow?
