I really like the realignment and think it will be great for the Wild (a lot like the Norris) and the NHL. Looks like we get to go back to Chicago and the Stars as the teams we most love to hate.... though my 70 something mother will miss cussing so often at the Canucks (not the name she uses for them!). But then again she has a pet name for the BlackHawks too!

Who in their right mind is watching a 9:30 p.m. puck drop at San Jose, let alone a central time game.

Nice game Wild, keep up the good work. Nice to see them playing so well for Yeo. Looks like they are truly all in. This is not an easy road trip and they are totally holding their own. I am very impressed and hope they can continue this stellar play!!

I wasn't so sure that the Wild would/could beat San Jose tonight...but what a PLEASANT outcome!

Well, once again they didn't let us relax - but what a fabulous win! Two well executed goals, gritty play all around in the last 2 periods, and another rookie steps up big time. Could Hackett have been any cooler? I just hope Harding is OK. By the way, for the first time, no one can surpass the Wild in points by winning all to an equal number of games - absolutely no argument about who is on top!!!

@ rustyscupper. Pretty sure I wasn't "in my right mind" watching a late hockey game but am happy I did!

HUGE win, the Wild continue to be rewarded for the hard work. Every one of these guys played hard tonight, total team win and hats off to Hackett. Whoever scouts and signs the Wild goalies deserves a raise. Go Wild!

How does this team keep winning? I see the roster and it doesn't make any sense.

This team has no quit. They have total faith in each other and their coach. A special season is being built now and the future is only looking better. We waited 10 years but now the Wild night in and night out can go into any arena and at least feel like we can get a win regardless how the game starts. Let's go Wild!
