NHL '11 - '12 Thread

Thank dog December's over. Was a BAD month by the Wild. Went to the game on the 26th when Spurgeon got checked from behind. They had him strapped to a gurney on the way out of the arena, and the guy who hit him didn't get a suspension. Something tells me there will be some glovesdropped the next time they meet the Avs.

As they get guys back healthy, I think their fortunes will turn again, and that December will be an aberration, not a norm.

Well when you don't have Koivu, Setoguchi, Zidlicky, Bouchard and your two starting goalies take turns getting hurt, it's hard to keep playing at the level that they had been. We get Setoguchi back tonight, so hopefully we can start a run of being healthy and win some in a row here!

I am sure there would be some retribution....

IMO the pic doesn't exactly show the play, as Spurgeon checked up 4' from the boards with McLeod flying in behind him.
