2022 MN WILD/NHL THREAD

Yeesh. Sloppy period.

Was just saying out loud we need the GREEF line to do something

Didn’t this happen the other night and go against us?

She is brutal to listen to
What a joke. In the last two weeks we’ve had it called against us and opponents doing the same thing have not been called. It’s like ice dancing- completely subjective

Man we get hosed on goalie interference calls a lot.

Blood everwhere

Well maybe that will get them playing a little more physical. I don’t think they’ve hit anyone this game until that sort of line brawl.

Ryan Carter just tweeted “Talbot almost gave Nedelkovic his Gordy Howe hat trick!”

I’m disappointed in the GREEF line in that scrum, they had the chance to open a can of whoop a$$ and release some frustration of the past few weeks and didnt, they let some Detroit softies push them around…

And we have a PK to deal with because of it.

Dumba looks like he doesn’t know what to do with the puck in the offensive zone. Not sure what his deal is right now.

These ESPN+ broadcasts are the worst, from the terrible announcers to the terrible audio, just an embarrassment!

Yeah I didn’t think it was too bad for the first 5 minutes but it really is terrible.

Man, that’s a big win, or should I say survival…..Entertaining game for sure.

Only good part of the ESPN broadcast was the hot mic in the Wild bench. It was hilarious, especially during the shootout. “Nice fukin shot Datsyuk!”

Good to get out of that mess with 2 points. Gotta hand it to Detroit though, that team plays hard and the crowd was definitely into it. Not the Red Wings of the past 5 years.

the chirps were good for sure, we still needed 5 goals, that is NOT sustainable… Merrill needs to watch s game or two from the press box, his net front defense is a joke…
I focused on watching Gologoski when he was on the ice, that dude is just mailing it in out there… bare minimal effort…

Eichel went full petty ex tonight. He looked legitimately rattled and hurt in that interview.

Well hopefully the Wild don’t have to rely on the opposing team to score on themselves. Good lord that was brutal! It was the difference in the game too. Nedeljkovic will be replaying that in his dreams for a loooong time I bet!

Sorry Mahto but I do think the Mahtomedi Zephrys are about to run into a Warroad freight train here in just a few minutes!

Kaprizov has played the same number of games this season as all of last season (55). Last year 51 pts, this year 72 pts. No sophomore slump.

hard to believe he’s worth every penny of the $9aav when most thought is was too high…he’s exceeded every expectation, we have our first legit superstar, whats crazy is we have 3 others under 20 years old who could follow him…

Just saw a stat comparing Mathews and Boldy’s first 25 games. They are within 2 pts of each other. If he didnt get hurt and played more games with the big club he’d be in the Calder conversation for sure. Bunting is sorta running away with it it seems though.

So Dom L (consonant) and this other dude have been updating NHL Power Rankings and this week they added “Most Untouchable Asset” and “Least Tradeable Asset”. The least tradeable one was Parise and Suters dead cap. They cant actually trade that can they?

I dont believe so, I think the buyouts ended anything to do with Parise and Suter and the Wild other than their caphits…it closed the book on any recapture penalties and anything else.

I dont think Bunting deserves calder consideration, he plays with Mathews and Marner… I think Lucas Raymond or Anton Lundel are more deserving..

That’s what I was thinking too, but its was odd they didnt expand on it. Obviously that is a hurdle they have to deal with.

Don’t disagree with you there.

But the Toronto media will push for him hard…

I hope Bunting wins it just because of all the crybabies complaining about Kaprizov being 23 last year. Bunting is 26 and made his NHL debut in like 2018.

Pavelski off the market just signed a one year deal to stay in Dallas. Sounds like JT Miller is going to stay put as well.
