    No hate. Comments comes from the over the top love for a 4 year college player that should have been up all year.

    Over the top love? Fans (me included) were merely looking for anybody who could help bring the Boldy line off lifesupport with a shot of skill and speed… Walker checked the boxes from who was available…Jojo has filled that role well since he was acquired…

    Zuccy had zero even strength points along with Walker tonight, maybe we should send him down to Iowa too then huh?

    Johannson? I always felt these cute little pet names for players was just weird. Shortening everyone’s last name and ending it with a Y where did that ever come from? I think the NHL is the only sport to do this. Didn’t get to watch last night but watched some highlights this morning. Looked fun! So no Kaprizov and now the flood gates open with goal scoring! This team is psychotic! laugh

    Yeah, Johansson is called Jojo by the players & staff (his sticks even have Jojo stamped on them) I always thought it was Mojo, nope…

    Hes called MoJo not JoJo. Marcus = Mo, Johansson – Jo No idea where JoJo came from is that your stripper name?

    No, it’s JoJo…Evason called him that the other night during the post game presser and his sticks have JoJo on them…Mojo is the nickname their TV guy calls him, the players use JoJo….

    I picked a hell of a game to sleep through. Woke up during the 2nd intermission highlights like wtf just happened. Just in time see my boy Reavo score… Again.

    An all time quote from MAF postgame:

    “That one was pretty quick. One of the guys said (Binnington) hit them in the nuts, in the nutsack. Can I say nutsack? Then when I saw him throw another one at our guy, that was the time.”

    And the TNT interview with Reavo was pretty hilarious too:

    I watched up until we got the lead. I got to see the almost goalie fight which would have been electric. Man Binner is a chode.

    Saturday’s game will be very interesting, Bruins have lost their last 2 games and are in Winnipeg tonight…sounds like Brodin could be back Saturday (along with Middleton) so we should be rested and mostly healthy again…

    The Maple Leaf – Avalanche snoozefest lulled me into a coma so a I missed the electric Blues – Wild game.

    **something I never thought I’d say

    What a great second period, refs need to let that goalie fight happen. Glad I stayed up for that one!

    x100!!! Binnington and Schenn both looked and reacted like toddlers. Binnington barely got touched and imo initiated the contact, then spazzed like my 5 year old when I turn Pokemon off. And Schenn was about 3 minutes late on the shove, may as well just asked for a penalty.

    I see Binnington gets a meeting with Player Safety. Suspension? Or just a fine?

    He should get a suspension with all his other antics but probably just a fine.

    A hearing with DoPS gets a suspension 99% of the time. Guessing 2 games.

    In prospect news Bankier had 3 goals on 3 shots last night and I think a couple assists. THat is good. Hopefully this big dude can make an impact up the middle.

    Firstov and Khusnutdinov heading to OT in the KHL playoffs right now. Firstov had the goal to tie it 1-1 with 2 minutes left. Hopefully he comes back to Iowa after this season.

    He had 3G/3A and was a +8 !!!! What’s crazy is there was a teammate who had 4G/4A and was a +6….it was an 11-1 win…

    Lots to be excited about with our prospects. The GM meetings were just held and it sounds like Bettman may be receptive to raising the salary cap next year, but there are some hurdles to get over first. That’s encouraging.

    And now Firstov almost just pulled off the michigan in OT. Goalie actually made a nice save on it

    That Bettman salary cap mumbo jumbo was complete BS. He’s such a little weasel. He’s just throwing that out there so it would get in the media and now he can say it was the PA that didn’t want the cap to go up instead of the league.

    well, we know he’s not lacking in confidence to try and pull that off in the playoffs…

    If you’re Firstov and his agent, you look at the prospect pool the Wild has and the number of guys likely ahead of him and the idea of getting him signed doesn’t look very good…

    I think there’s alot of truth to it (The players would have the escrow paid off in the first month of next season anyways) but of course he’s going to weaponize it to get the previously agreed upon escrow limit increased…

    He’s already signed for 2 more seasons

    He started in Iowa this year and dipped last minute
