5* NHL ICEMAN Game of the Week
(NHL) Pittsburgh vs. Minnesota,
Money Line: -118.00 Minnesota (Home)
Result: Loss
For those who don't follow the NHL regularly, I want to try and put the home ice advantage owned by the Minnesota Wild into perspective. Think Seattle Seahawks. I mean to tell you, now that the Wild are showing some signs of legitimate ascension in the NHL, their building is turning into an insane asylum on tilt. The crowds are arriving early and in huge numbers, and by the time the puck gets dropped, they are in serious full throttle mood. Minnesota has been outstanding thus far. The only aspect of the Wild's game that hasn't been sharp is their power play. Beyond that, they've been tremendous and they're proving to be a dominant force at home with a spotless 5-0 slate. The Wild have outscored the opposition by a whopping 21-6 count this far and they're playing with extreme confidence here.Take the Wild here at home Tuesday night.
