2024/2025 NHL/WILD Offseason-Season-Postseason Thread

How about the new CCM retro look (white stripe) for their new skates! pretty sweet looking! Reminds me of Mario Lemieux… Ek was wearing them last night…

Joe are you saying I am Mario Lemiex? I still wear those.

Sounds like somebody figured out their Halloween costume this year…

With how curly and long my hair is now I could do it. Except all the greys!

Boston College vs Michigan State tonight at 5pm on the Big10 Network channel. Chance to see Charlie Stramel play, he’s 2C tonight…

Man I sure hope this kid can figure it out, he’s a BEAST on skates…

meh… he hasn’t looked good at all…

What are the chances Tynes gets fired this year?

Stramel having a good recoup game tonight, 2 goals sofar…

Damn our Powerplay is fun to watch..

When Flower broke his stick isn’t the smart play just to ice it on purpose, get a whistle ASAP?

Can a goalie skate to the bench to get a new stick?

NHL refs at their finest

Absolutely terrible. Reffing amateur hour.

Might be the worst call I’ve ever seen. Followed by the worst PK ever seen

Faber tried to ice it, but it was tipped by a Kraken player… might have been scared not to airmail over the glass..

Waiting for Ek to come back out with bullets up his nostrils…

Regarding the Eberle PP goal, what’s next, a player laying on the ice backdoor angled towards the net and they just shoot at him hoping for any type of deflection into the net? Cuz that’s basically what he’s doing with his skates…

Actually, its not a bad play by Seattle…

Is the loon call new? Or is that just the first penalty they ever killed

funny, I said the same thing… both could be true…

How many games will it take for Middleton to knock all of his rust off? His game is alarmingly scary right now…

How about Faber’s recovery standing flat footed with speedy as heck Tanev going full speed at him… incredible play we’ll never hear about, TV guys missed it…

Isn’t Kirill like 0 for his last 15 shootout attempts?

He is not a shoot out guy at all.

Gumby sends her high and just a little outside after whiffing on a wide open net in ot, go figure. The maddening of Boldy continues. So talented and yet such a head case at the same time.

Sorry but Kirill can’t pot a shootout to save his life.

Kirill hasn’t scored a shootout goal since the 2022/2023 season!

Its time to move him at the very least to the 3rd shooter, but probably best the 4th… his 2nd shot misses are costly and take Freddy completely out of it… Ek and Spurgeon have had alot of SO success, they should be given some opportunity’s….

Not sure what it is with him the past few years, but the creativity he showed early on when he was at around 50% shootout percentage is nowhere to be found…

Wondering if Ek had a concussion or if an x-ray took awhile to get back?

Strange that he came back to the bench with a bubble, played 1 shift and was immediately pulled… He likely either had dizziness or an x-ray came back and showed a broken jaw that he can’t play with until wired shut….

With the immediate blood I’m thinking broken nose and/or cut. But those wouldn’t keep him from finishing the game and he also didn’t go to Winnipeg today. So I have no idea. Jaw makes the most sense, but how do they send him back out with a potential broken jaw. And he didn’t look concussed at all, but those are weird

at least we’re not the Oilers, Predators or Avs….

its gotta be that concussion symptoms started once he played a shift or it took awhile to get a doctor to examine the x-ray or get a 2nd opinion confirming a fracture somewhere on his skull (orbital, cheek or jaw)

You mean all teams that have been to a cup final.
I’m guessing almost all teams except Columbus say well at least we are not the Wild.

That’s pretty cold rip! Lol
