You know for how all we ragged her for her play by play Leah hextall is pretty good in this role I think.

Wtf did she say to Hartman?!

Will Flower survive game 82?

Wow, I did not see bringing Fluery back. Bad move IMO, not sure what the thinking is there. Man there’s a lot of scrubs on this roster

she reminds me of Uma Thurman’s character from Pulp Fiction…

Ek’s facial expressions when he’s in a scrum is hilarious… no wonder everyone wants to punch him…

He has a very punchable face for sure.

I can’t remember exactly but it was about the play where Hartman got checked into flower and he said something to the effect that he didn’t like the play because it could of hurt flower.

Is it safe to talk about how impressive it is for Rossi and Faber to play in all 82 games this season as rookies? Only Wild players to do it…

Almost as impressive as you offering detailed comments about all 82 games.

Middsy on a break away is hilarious.

Wild with pick #13 in the draft before any lottery luck

Apparently my joke was taken the wrong way. I’m sober, how about you?

only took 3 simulations! This is the Year the Wild finally get some Lottery luck I can feel it!

Colorado spanking Edmonton 4-0 just over halfway through the first. And yes yes everybody knows the big guns for Edmonton aren’t playing has the announcers have said about 300 times. So why are they resting everybody but their starting goaltender is in and getting savaged?

He wasn’t terrible. Got away a good shot.

I share all the love for Faber and Rossi here.

But the Hughes kid and Faber have basically the same stats. What separates those two? Obviously Bedard is going to win but I sure don’t see Luke Hughes get thrown out there as much as Brock does. Is it the +/- that is the true separating factor there?

Hughes is an elite offensive defenseman who was protected on the 2nd and 3rd pair all season because he’s a defensive liability (he was bumped upto the 2nd pair around midseason)

He also got alot of points running the Devils top powerplay group. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a great young player, but very far from being a complete defenseman…

Hughes season is a great example of just how good Faber’s season was as Brock had the same points but also the top pairing minutes and defensive game as well…a complete defenseman…

In their final showcase game for Calder voters, how did Bedard and Faber do?

Bedard 0 points and -3 finishing the season with 68 games played, 22 goals, 39 assists, 61 points and -44!

Faber 1 point and even finishing the season with 82 games played, 8 goals, 39 assists, 47 points and -1

We know the NHL wants Bedard to win, but Faber deserves the trophy!

Youre not very funny.

The Wild has a 2% chance of moving upto pick #3 in the draft…

11,000 plus season ticket requests already for Utah. Pretty awesome. Pretty funny quote from the Coyotes owner. Essentially he said I will keep the name, logo, etc I just sent the players and staff to Utah. LOL

And a 5% chance of moving back to pick 14

That Coyotes owners Meruelo along with his right hand man Gutierrez and Meruelo Jr. seems like the biggest grade-a pieces of sh!t on the planet. I just wanna know what he has on Gary to get a $1b buyout while still keeping the rights to the franchise and market for 5 years. They paid a huge price to make this d-bag go away but he’s still not gone… at least not for next 5 years. There’s no way they can actually let him build that arena and weasel his way back into the league

Yeah there is definitely something fishy in Denmark with this Coyotes deal.

Apparently in 2021 Meruelo declined an offer from Gila River Arena for a 20 year lease. He declined and they kicked them out. I understand the glendale isn’t the best place for the team in phx (downtown or scottsdale would be much better), but dear god I didn’t think there could be anymore ridiculousness in the yotes. Cant make this stuff up.

And a 5% chance of moving back to pick 14

because Atlanta and Houston will be the next expansion teams in the next 3-5 years, timing for any possible future Arizona team is a ways out…
