another doubleheader sports night in Minnesota
NBA: Portland @ Minnesota 7pm FSN+
If you missed it Saturday, here is Ricky Rubio doing Ricky Rubio things. Saturday was probably the best game the Wolves have played all year. They got out to a huge 1st quarter lead, extended it to over 30 points at times, and cruised to a win.
NHL: Minnesota @ Phoenix 8pm FSN
The Wild made a trade today
The Wild press release describes Rupp this way
Rupp, 33, has totaled 94 points (53-41=94) and 765 penalty minutes (PIM) in 565 NHL games during parts of 10 seasons with New Jersey, Phoenix, Columbus, Pittsburgh and the New York Rangers.
ok then.
lets hope for 2 victories from out favorite winter sports squads!
Wes Matthews is a pain in the Wolves side.
what a block by Stiemsma!
Have the Wolves ever beaten PDX?
More recently than they've beaten LAX, I believe.
since the 2005-06 season, Minnesota is 6-23 against Portland
Kirilenko goes to the locker room with the trainer.
Quad strain, huh? 7-10 days wouldn't surprise me.
probably needs Tommy John
I have a really difficult time believing that I am older than Pekovic. Are we sure he is only 27? That just doesn't seem right.
He looks like the kid who could buy beer without getting carded in HS.
i'm guessing that was less of a problem in montenegro.
I'm waiting for Chris Johnson to get to play. I don't understand why Steimsma or Amundson get minutes in front of him, though it does seem to be a RA trait to not play young guys much.
agreed
why cant the Wolves dunk the ball?
Wild 4th line whiffs on the open net opportunity (the goalie was behind the net for some reason), FSN guy says the line is having a great shift getting scoring chances *slap forehead*
now its a Coyotes goal. awesome
while over on the Wolves game, Jim Pete is questioning why Chris Johnson is not playing
Alright, J.R. you earned some points with me for this one.
this was a 3 point game like 4 minutes ago. yeesh
it's a 3 point game again.
1 point.
i disagree with that play call.
UGH Cunningham hits that shot all the time!!!
wellllll, shit.
I didnt see the lineup, was Shved on the court for that final shot attempt?
with predictions like that I can be an analyst on ESPN
