Sticking up for a Teammate

The wild learned something in their game on saturday night. The wild faced an aggressive Nashville Predators team. The Wild and the Predators faced off in four different fights on saturday night. Two, of which involved Minnesota Forward Craig Weller.  "It is one of the few sports you can do it (fighting) and get away with it; five minutes (of penalty time)," said Weller, who has seven fighting penalties in only sixty nine career NHL hockey games. Minnesota's, Derek Boogaard, who is not afraid to drop the gloves, said it was the first game of this season that he could think of in which the opposing team came out especially aggressive. Seven penalties were given out in the first period alone, five of which were assed to the Nashville Predators. Sticking up for one another on the ice makes players play better. When they are out there they have a peace of mind. That is what makes the wild so good.

The great chase

A driver led minnesota police from Crystal to Golden Valley. The Chase started around two A.M. and ended in horror. The Driver ended this chase with a bang. The man was thrown from his car after hitting a curb, a stop sign, and a large park sign. The driver was taken to North Memorial Medical Center where he is being treated for serious injuries. Authorities say that the incident began when Crystal police were working on a drunk driving enforcement effort. The Police tried to pull over the man for a violation on Bass Lake Road. Crystal Police are still trying to investigate the whole situation and why the Driver fled. Some news reports say that the chase may have reached speeds up to one hundred miles per hour but police can not confirm that. The chase ended in Golden Valley at the entrance of Brookview Park just south of highway fifty five. Thankfully, no one else was injured.

A disappointing loss

The wild lost a very unusual game wednesday november twenty seventh, against the Dallas Stars. The Stars came back from a two goal deficit to win the game. This was no ordinary come back. First there was an extremely long review of a Mikko Koivu shot that obviously never a goal. Then there was barely any thought at a Stars goal that at least deserved a good look at. Then to top it all off, another Mikko Koivu goal was turned over due to a net that was off it's moorings.

Even more disappointing than that, is that the Minnesota Wild hit five cross bars or posts. This included a shot with eight seconds left in the game. The Wild had many chances to win this game including a missed shot by Eric Belanger on an open net. The odds were with the wild who have not lost a game at home in regulation when scoring three goals since November fourth 2006. It is also the first career game the Niklas Backstrom has lost in regulation after being up in the second period. This lost lead the Wild to a 1-3 five game home-stand. Hopefully the Wild will step up their game soon.
