    Definitely a lot more pep in their steps right from the get go this season. A very entertaining team to watch that has the ability to score in bunches. Awesome to see them heading in the right direction for a change.

    Man, when the Wild play like this…unbeatable

    Not sure I’d go that far, but they are playing well.The Jets sure don’t look like the same team last time they were in town.

    That was a pretty complete game, I don’t expect them to play that way all the time though

    Minus an extra pt, but it did take ot. Great game today with lots of open ice, the lengthy home stand will help.

    Fun game as a wild fan. WPG looked bad. They are on a bad skid now. The Avs are playing well so once they play all the games in hand it will be a tight race. If the wild can get their PP going it would be lights out with their 5 on 5 scoring. Talbot 2 great games in a row.

    Bjugstad and Rask, just who you’d expect to score for the wild. Installed the 70 inch tv just in time for the game. It’s like they’re in my living room. Very sloppy game early.

    They need to work the PP down low once and a while to much high perimeter work. It’s annoying.

    Solid two wins post turkey day…Talbot was strong again. Greenway played strong…was out for about 3 minutes to end the game. Duhaime was flying. Dean seems to be pushing the right buttons with everyone except fiala at the moment.

    Vasilevsky is comically big in net, especially with those oversized pads… it’s just rediculous sombody that large can move that quickly! the Wild knew they had to pick corners to beat him and did just that!

    Rossi was hurt in today’s Iowa game (took a cheap shot skating towards a scrum and appeared to either land on his face or shoulder, he could be seen rolling in pain on the ice and did not return to the game) so something to monitor in Iowa…

    Here’s the Rossi injury. Judging by his reaction it don’t look good. Sure seems the kids a magnet for health/injury problems.

    Yeah that didnt look good at all for Rossi. Appears to have landed on his face. There didnt appear to be blood on the ice and he was definitely holding his face. Perhaps fractures to his face somehow? I dont think it was a shoulder injury based on how he reacted.

    Russo is here to talk us all off the ledge!

    According to Russo Rossi is still being evaluated but no fractures have been found and it may not be serious. He did land on the right side of his face.

    Quick Reminder/Heads up for all Athletic subscribers, today they are offering a year subscription for only $12! I always cancel my subscription a week or so before it renews at the $60 a year price and re-subscribe as a new subscriber at the much cheaper cybermonday offer deal…

    Ive been trying to cancel my auto-renewal but it isnt letting me. Last year I got charged twice because I re-upped early at the low rate and then the auto renewal went through. They did reverse it, but its kind of a pain. Only thing I dont like about the Athletic.

    Wild appreciation post.

    How fun is this team to watch? They are so deep that Boldy, Rossi, Beckman, and Addison are having a tough time cracking the NHL lineup. I would argue they are NHL caliber players right now.

    I’m a diehard sports fan so I catch most of MN sports teams games, but this team has been must-watch TV for me!

    How about Dean Evason?! All he does is win games and push the right buttons.

    Is anybody else having as much fun watching this team as I am?

    You need to do it from a desktop/laptop browser I beleive (or at least that’s the only way I’ve been able to do it) That way allows you to get into your Account details which shows billing/subscription info…You can’t re-up with this deal from your existing email/account, I beleive the offer you get when you cancel your sub is $1.80 a month..

    They definately appear to have a long term/sustained success plan for the franchise and are sticking to it, a rarity in MN sports…They can roll 4 lines against any team in the NHL (still tbd on how they match up against a full Avs squad though)
    The part that’s been so pleasantly surprising for me is that they are scoring alot without their top guns (Kaprizov & Fiala) scoring goals like they probably should be yet…That’s a great benefit to have…

    The only negative sofar this year is the Powerplay….and imo nothing will change with it until they make a direct PP coaching/philosophy change for it, GMBG needs to hire some outside thinking…

    OR

    at the very least copy exactly what the Capitals/Bruins/Leafs do on their powerplay (the NHL is a copycat league) obviously we can’t expect some of our guys to duplicate what a Ovi/Pasternak/Mathews can do, but we do have skilled players that should have similar success…

    I have been able to cancel my subscription BUT I cannot cancel the auto renewal. It throws and error and tells you to send an email to this mailbox to which you get an auto generated email stating that email account is not managed LOL

    I also create a yearly calander reminder 1 week before my auto-renewal kicks in to cancel my subscription…

    I had to cancel it on my Google Play account not sure if you have that or not but might help.

    Joe can you resign up for the cybermonday promotion with your existing email that I had it on before? Or do I have to use another email to get the deal?

    I had to use a different email account, it knows if an existing email is being used for setup…I go back & forth between 2 accounts every year…

    #9 is going to be in the rafters I guess. Unexpected and not necessary IMO.

    Unexpected? Are you serious? He played for the team for 16 years and is leader in so many different team categories. I think its well deserved.

    Meh, I’m indifferent on this. Doesn’t bother me that they are doing it, but also seems unnecessary.

    This team is really fun to watch and they get production from every single line. If they ever get their PP going they are going to be very tough to beat. They started slow last year and the last couple months were near the top of the league in PP. The PK has been significantly better lately too which is also very important.
    The changes made in the D Corps have been the most surprising to me. I didnt know what to expect with Kulikov/Merrill but they have been very good.

    I’d be way more excited if this meant the #1 Wild Fans jersey was coming down. I think that should be part of the deal.
