2022 MN WILD/NHL THREAD

Oh gawd P.A doing play by play on the fan. It’s horrible

LOVE this new 4th line!

Is that the top line or the fourth line!!!! Holy smokes!

The physicality already making a difference!

I will never listen to that clown!

Geeez, Vegas looks terrible…

Deslauries is making his presence felt. Hes faster than I expected but man he brings the beef.

The fact that walz didn’t have situational awareness about the waved off goal saying “they saw something might happen should have left the play go”. Um, there were offsetting penalties. Come on man.

D-LO will be a fan favorite. Dude doesn’t take a shift off. Not skilled by any means but will never question his work ethic.

Yeah his skating is better than I thought. He has absolutely trucked some people tonight.

D-LO by all accounts will bring it every night reguardless.

The speed of this game feels way more like the first couple months. ND44 seems like the locker room guy the Dumba should be. Keeping bringing the energy!!

His interview right now “I try to hit as many guys as I can”. Love that.

another period of some good but mostly bad from Dumba…let’s see if the Wild can maintain the energy you knew they would get from the new teammates in the 1st…

Bottom line is they brought more character guys into locker room. Whatever they lost or didn’t have the guys they brought in are all team first guys. Even Flower.

The energy is so much different. I’ve always wanted to see a Wild team that could just run over teams physically. Always been my main issue with our teams.

1 game but they should pair well with big physical teams better now.
If you thought moose was tough just wait for D-LO makes the moose look like a fawn.

I’m getting Chris Stewart vibes from D-Lo. Minus the baby stick. Big hit and goal in his first shift, not bad. Celly had me thinking he’s a human 8-ball. I hope Duhaime is soaking it all up like a sponge.

Don’t forget Vegas still has like $40m on injured reserve

My brain was just starting to figure out Boldy is not Eric Staal and now Kuli takes #7 with Sturm’s corpse still warm. Not cool.

and yet they still have an $82 million dollar payroll on the ice…

Not sure if that’s a joke but they’re not even close to that.

I was in the car and turned it on. A mile down the road, I had to change it. He can’t do hockey.

Hopefully they get Ryan Kelser back next game….

Are we really doing this again? Pretending like that contract somehow helps them doesn’t make it actually help them

Did Jordan Schroeder wear number 10 for the Wild? I keep getting flashbacks when Jost has the puck.

Dumba quiets the haters critics for a couple shifts

Its fascinating that in a copycat league every opponent powerplay can walk right into our zone for their entry and yet our powerplay entry is about 40%, we have way too much talent to be that bad at it…

Delourias is looking like an epic pickup by GMBG!

In other news…I have not bought a t shirt yet tonight… Yet

Talbot doesn’t look like he’s ready to give up his spot…..Great win.

I’m most impressed by Cam. He could have folded after today.
One reason I was in favor of getting flower and keeping Cam. Kakko would probably fold after the move Cam not so much.
Cam has been in this situation before in his career and his character shows or he wouldn’t still be playing.

D-LO will be a fan favorite just like he was on his previous two teams.

Side note maybe someday Eichel will be on a 500 team.

Yep really impressed by his game lately and tonight was fabulous.

Biggest news tonight was Talbot. He just answered anyone questioning if the Fleury trade would be an issue
