Wild have more points at home. 3 to be precise.

OCD.

Want to try again?  The press release uses "Wild" in singular form throughout.  With that in mind, read it with an "a" in front:  "A Wild leads" would be correct.

Wild on a 4 game win streak on now third in the Central. 

[sioux rube]

Make that 5 in a row after pounding the Blues 8-3 tonight. Staal with the hatty. On to Arizona Thursday.

I agree.  To me, "Wild" is a plural, but in all Wild press releases, they treat it as a singular.  Like fingernails on a chalkboard for me.

I don't get all the ink cops on here? This is a message board. As one example, the GF Herald has it's share of ink errors, probably not worth the effort to triple proof everything?

Let auto correct, spell check, grammar correction, calculators, internet, texts, spread sheets, scanners, emails, fax machines, computers, cell phones, clouds, printers, cameras, and etc. help you get you through the day and then go enjoy the ball game?

Point is, BWSE, "Wild" is about as dumb a nickname as there is.

[sioux rube]

The most impressive thing recently is the Zucker-Staal-Granlund line having 26 points over the last three games. That is nuts.

Auto-correct -- with a hyphen.

Just because you're not in on the joke...

I tend to let it all slide, but like to pick on an "ink cop" when one makes an incorrect correction (MM, in this case).  BTW, Ink Cop will now replace Grammar Nazi in my vocabulary, so thanks for that.

I think you're missing the joke, BWSE...it's basically about my OCD issue and spelling/punctuation.  I also have the same hang-up with keeping my fingernails trimmed daily.

You'll find that the Utah Jazz do the exact opposite.

Half a page of off topic is too much?  You should probably avoid......every other thread on this message forum.

What is the Sioux/Gopher ratio on the Wilds these days?

One apiece. Parise and Seeler

Yup, the Wilds shipped off Reilly.  I was afraid we'd get round two of ol' flat foot (Vanek) when he was available this trade deadline, but happy to see him shipped somewhere else. 

Not a goofer, but I'm still not sure why the Wilds sent Stewart packing, though.

ONLY ONE Gopher on the squad?

All about freeing up salary for Kunin and hopefully signing Greenway when his season is over at BU. Loved Stewie but he just took to many games off for Budreau to keep him in the lineup consistently.
