new to this site but follow hockey for years. Get in on the Penguins/Wild over at 5.5 if you can. Even 6. Both back up goalies are playing. Not sure who is gonna win but something tells me that will be a solid bet for tonight. I also took the det/edm over, and can see that beign a close game.

Josh Harding is no joke, he is top 10 goalie in the league, will be better than Backstrom eventually if he isn't already.
Also, more importantly Demitra and Gaborik are out with strained groins, its likely to be an ugly trapfest from the Wild side.

Did you just say Harding was good? O my, you must not see much of his games? I watched him goal tend vs the oil last week and he was sivvy at best. The first 2 goals he let in would have been saved by most Junior B players. Harding sux and that is fact. To me its the biggest goalie discrepency in the league between starter and backup.

you're wrong.
Minny's goalies stats are heavily correlated to having Lemaire as the coach ... there isn't a big drop off btwn starter and backup.
Don't believe it? Feel free to lookup the numbers Roloson and Fernandez put up in past years ... and who the team was more than willing to dump for picks as they cycled in younger replacements

This is true, but I would add that Backstrom and Harding are more talented than either Roloson or Fernandez were.
Harding is playing right now on Versus, check him out.
