2022 MN WILD/NHL THREAD

Anyone here speak Russian? Some KK mic’d up content… mostly just him giggling like a little kid. Plus a little bit of him dangling Billy G and then more giggling.

You see him pull the Michigan at the WC practice. Wasn’t even trying and woop. Nets it up top. Oops noticed it in this video.
Guy definitely loves playing hockey.

Good lord did Makar ever have a filthy goal to win it for the Avalanche in ot last night!!

That’s goal of the year sofar in my book… I’d love to see an edgework competition between him and Kirill…insane skillset for a defenseman!

Makar is unreal. Its really surprising that he was at a small school and lasted so long in college seeing how he has burst onto the scene.

Gets my vote as the best goal of the year so far. The Zegras/Milano goal was more gimmicky the Makar goal was just pure mad skill!

I admit the first time I saw the clip I thought of the movie Youngblood and the “why doesnt somebody hit him”.

Rask and McIntyre clear waivers and head to Iowa.

Happy Boldy/Rossi NHL Debut Day to all who celebrate!
Apparently Duhaime tested positive this morning, but is getting tested again. If he cant go they are going to play 7 D and Addison will be playing. Does that mean wing? He did it before.

It’s been so long since our last game (excluding the WC) and with the new young guys making their first appearances, this game kinda has an opening day feel to it. Hoping it’s the reset we all need because our division certainly has not let their foot off the gas.

Bought tickets for the Saturday night game 30 min prior to finding out the mask mandate. Also, apologies for the loss.

Big deal wearing a mask, enjoy watching the Great8 get closer to the great one’s record! He just kills the Wild!

St Cloud State head coach Brett Larson and Minnesota State Mankato head coach Mike Hastings have both been named to the Team USA Olympic coaching staff as assistant coaches.

Most likely he is at wing. Poor Rask.

Sounds like Bjugstad will be out a while.

That’s pretty cool. I wonder if that is an indication that the players will be college players? There was talk they should just send the Teams from the U20 WJC. Those kids got hosed.

Its a very prestigious honor if you ask me. The chance to win an olympic medal? Not much better than that.

Its very likely that some college players will be participating. I’m sure some players from the WJC could be playing.

Hope so perhaps my buddy’s could would be playing in it then since he made the WJC Team. That would be awesome.

Who is this you speak of? You have a friend that made the WJC team?

Hmmm will probably not have to alter my sleep schedule to watch now.

My buddy’s kid (not could dangit). Wyatt Kaiser plays for UMD, drafted by the dreaded Hawks last year. His daughter was supposed to play in the U18 Womens WJC but that got canceled before it even happened.

The Wild back to full strength? Feels like they could use a W against the Bruins tonight!

If you call missing Spurg, Ek, Greeway, Bjugstad, Duhaime, and Talbot full strength. Then yeah. Could definitely use a W…

Crap. I knew Talbot was out but thought I heard something quick on the radio about getting back to full strength. Guess I heard wrong!

Excited to watch tonight. BTW, screw Bally, Dish, and most all the providers. Bunch of BS still

Boldy and Rossi debut tonight. That’s pretty cool!

Looks like Freddy hockey is on PP2.🤦‍♂️

Good pressure to start.

Holy what a sauce pass Boldy! Rossi draws penalty on first shift. Let’s go!

Gaudreau has ZERO offensive talent…ZERO

So much for that start. Now they are sloppy as hell.

Better score on this 5-3…
