Wednesday was not the performance from the Wild that we all wanted to see, but let's give Calgary their due respect for bringing a very strong effort in the 5-1 Flames win.

in this 24/7 over analysis world that we live in we tend to live and die by wins and little more by losses. In the grand scheme of things a win is just that a win and two points in the standings and a loss is just a setback that is one game.

The Wild have been very good at limiting the losses and avoiding the losing streaks. Tomorrow they will try to keep that record in tact as they travel to Vancouver to the place that until Wednesday, was the last regulation loss the team had suffered. An amazing stretch of 14 games (12-0-2) where the Wild had gotten at least a point in the standings on the road.

Alex Tuch has been recalled from Iowa and is expected to make his debut tomorrow in Vancouver. It is February now and the trade deadline is fast approaching. This is a critical time and decisions will be made that will affect the team as they move forward. How does Chuck Fletcher tweak his roster for the stretch and does he make a move to set the WIld up for the expansion draft?
