2022 MN WILD/NHL THREAD

Honestly haven’t even noticed Rossi.

Unreal… never witnessed that live before.

I’ve always wondered if that ever happened.

LOL that was hilarious. The refs were so confused. Boldy has been very noticeable and Rossi is doing OK a couple key faceoffs and a some setups that didn’t work out. He had a great chance in the first.

I think it happened a few weeks ago in a gophers hockey game. I remember watching it but cannot remember exactly what team/when/who.

It has happened in past years in the nhl too. Always ends up on a bloopers reel.

Surprised they didn’t award it to Addison rather than Hartman.

Now I think they gave it to Foligno. We’ll see by the end of the game I guess.

Rossi still a bit “panicy” with the puck, passes just off sticks, some lazy efforts here and there, still not comfortable as in the NHL is to fast for him right now.

Where has Rem Pitlick gone?

Boldy is here to stay… Kaapo has looked great again!

We are best when down by 2 goals. Teams should just stop scoring two goals against us lol

Well stole at least one see if they can steal two.

Kaapo needs to stay in his crease. Enough with those stupid plays.

Highway robbery of 2 points, we’ll take it with that roster tonight!

Well they stole 2 tonight. Now another week off.

And Gaudreau be like, “How you like me now?”

Unbelievable win. They don’t ask how…

Can’t believe they won that game, they had plenty of reasons to roll over and take the L, but the comeback magic continues.

I swear Fiala looked up to the press box at Kaprizov after he pulled off his move in the shootout. Was that his worst game this year? Surprised Dean actually let him off the bench in the 3rd.

Another huge game from Big Kahk. Could be a theme with him playing his best when he’s the #1 guy…

He was definitely looking at someone and smiling.

So it sounds like the doom and gloom injury outlook is anything but….

According to Russo, Other than Brodin who’s expected to be out 3-4 weeks snd Bgujstad 5-6 weeks, everyone else is expected to be back either next game or shortly after… thank god for the crazy schedule with huge gaps between games!

and with the last 2 wins, the Wild could afford to play it even more safe and give guys an extra 7 days to heal by keeping them out for the Ducks and Av’s games and return on 1/21

There might be good news on the Bjugstad front too perhaps shorter than initially thought.

I looked it up and the last time that I could find a delayed penalty own goal was Vancouver did it in 2016.

I haven’t found how many times it’s happened total but it can’t be that often. I have seen it in high school I’ve seen it in college but that is the first one I have ever witnessed in the pros.

To me the Brodin one is the biggest relief/news.

I was most worried about Kirill… thought it was going to be a bad shoulder separation or broken collar bone…. No Kirill, no offense… Spurgeon coming back will help Brodin’s loss

Bill Guerin on spittin chiclets today if anyone wants to listen to more Billy G… interview was from the Winter Classic week. They went ice fishing with Ryan Carter so they may have an interview with him at some point as well.

Thanks for sharing. While I work hard this afternoon scouring the interwebs I will be sure to have this on in the background.
Nothing recent on our injured players but hopeful we get several of them back Thursday.

we’ll probably get an injury update after today’s practice, they had the day off yesterday…

lol, Marat Khusnidinov is the 1st line center today in what I think is his first game back from the WJC… it’s amazing the public blackmail that went on with him UNTIL he resigned on a 2 year extension…oh well that’s the KHL for ya…

MK played 12 minutes as 4th line center last Friday as his first game back from the WJC. Leading up to his extension, he was getting like 5-7 minutes a night when he actually was in the lineup.

I know most of you have twitter but thought I would share anyway.

Pitlick-Hartman-Zuccarello
Greenway-Eriksson Ek-Foligno
Boldy-Gaudreau-Fiala
Rask-Sturm-Dewar

Benn-Dumba
Merrill-Kulikov
Mermis-Addison

No Spurgeon, Kaprizov, Goligoski, Brodin, Duhaime, Bjugstad, Talbot

I was hoping Boldy would be with Zucc and Hartman, but I am OK with this considering the options. We will see which Fiala we get. LOL

if I were the Wild, I would slow play all of the injury returns and have them miss the next 2 games in order to get the extra 7 days of rest/rehab…missing 2 games is worth it vs having them come back early, re-injuring and being out longer term when we have tons of games sandwitched together…

Not a horrible idea, but we cannot afford to lose more ground in the standings. I know I know win% LOL

To me Boldy with Fiala is a sign that KK is back in Pitlick spot real soon. Pitlick will then slide into Rask spot.
