Las Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Colin Miller broke his nose in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final, according to head coach Gerard Gallant.
The injury occurred in the third period seconds before the Washington Capitals scored to extend their lead to 5-2. Capitals forward T.J. Oshie hit Miller in the face while passing the puck to Nicklas Backstrom, who fed Michal Kempny for the goal.
Miller stayed in the game but later could be seen with bandages on his face to stop some bleeding. Gallant didn’t say if the injury will effect Miller’s availability for Game 5 on Thursday.

Hockey Hacks…just poke one then sit back and watch
Self validation isn’t validation.
Taken off the Al Franken fan club page?
If you wanna start a fight just man up and say so.
Simply Put;
In hockey terms it’s just a hard check into the boards.
and for you baseball fans, It’s a swing and a miss. Chin music?
Lest we forget that “homerk” is a season ticket holder who cannot even spell player’s names right.
And for the Grammar Police to make it simple for you, how does Granny work?
I think it’s funny how some season ticket holders feel entitled to bash their own team as if they know better than the team management.
Helm yes! it’s my money right? and for the record the team owner felt the same way.
You vieled congratulations to be a hack.
Here it comes, Ido bandwagon jumping has begun.
There is a party in downtown winnipeg like you would not believe!!!!!!
Congrats on a great Team win,they have a very good chance of winning this.
Don’t expect to much from the long winded hockey hacks on here,
The State of Hockey carries a blind view of the game and the rest of the NHL. So when it comes to talented teams who for no reason other than puck luck beat the home team, they carry disstorted view reality.
It will take a game or two,for them to see how well the Jets play the game. So after they wake up from their prediction hangover,they will promptly jump on thE Las Vegas band wagon.
After all the Jets never should have “WHOPPED UP ON” the “TEAM” from the State of “HOCKEY”
Those people who have jobs that require home deliveries/home repairs/utilities services in residential homes constantly have close encounters with homeowners pets.
Every home owner says there dogs won’t hurt anyone when the fact is good dogs will attack when strangers approached.
If your dog is off a leash and charges towards someone and barking, that persons has every right to defend him or herself.
Despite how friendly your dog is, it is your job to keep control of it when stranger encounters occur.
The game Monday here in winnipeg will be epic. They are expecting 30-40 thousand people for the street party.
Probably the best Playoff series so far. Talk about building a heated Rivalry.
Something that the State of hockey longs for but severly lacks.
Preds vs Bolts for me
Now that there was a “Stanley Cup” Hockey game!
Not quite sure what that means but my money is on the Jets and Tampa in the final series.
I think the cup will be won in Tampa Bay once again.

The child in question is one that needs all the attention he can get. His life is empty and the only friends are those he can coerce or pay to appear in his little movies. While several members have dropped in and out of that thread he has been there the whole way. Soaking in the imagined attention he is seemingly getting. At some point he will figure out people are just pointing at him and laughing. He will try and make you think he is smart and this is all calculated but he is really insecure and lonely. This provides what little entertainment he has in life. If he hadn’t proven himself so pathetic a person might even feel sorry for him.
He who has the most posts
Haula if you hear Me… Eric and Alex show still going strong IN LV.

It’s all fake, the media makes this shot up.
How do you hold another country accountable?
I think you have to keep Granrud he has playoff credibility
Get rid of Coyle before the start of the 2018-19 season, his playoff credibility is missing he plays uninspired hockey 75-85% of the time. Unless the new GM pulls off a Las Vegas type of off season I think most of the moves as far as trades go will be prior to next seasons playoffs.
Most trash in the oceans are not from the United States. The amount floating down the Mississippi is nothing compared to what gets actually DUMPED in every minute.
Funny how people are looking so narowly at this and getting defensive.
Is the mississippi the only river that empties into the ocean?
Just simply saying that rivers are the sewage system of the world.

There isn’t 1/10th the trash in the ditches today as in the 60’sI was thinking the same thing. It is much cleaner than it used to be.
Simple fact, if you read a little further you might be able comprehend the total amount of free floating trash in the river Sytem.

I agree , it doesn’t change the facts though.
If you want to see it for yourself contact your Local Municipality after a large rain event and ask to look into the nearest Storm Sewer lift stations.
Next time your boating down the river look for a large pile of dead head debris, and then look at the amount of trash stuck in dead-falls.
Dear Homerk,
On Monday, I made the difficult decision that Chuck Fletcher would not return as General Manager of our hockey club. In thinking about this significant change, it was very important to me that you, as a member of our Season Ticket Community and someone who is invested in our success, hear directly from me about the future of the Wild.
I’m confident about this: you and I share a passion to bring the Stanley Cup to the State of Hockey. And the responsibility for getting us there starts with me.
Chuck built our club into a perennial playoff contender. And that is no easy task in itself. Only two other clubs in the League have matched our six straight years in the post season. But it became apparent to me that, while we were close, our “good” wasn’t good enough anymore. And I feel that it is going to take a new set of eyes, and some new thinking about our roster, to assess things and take the steps necessary to get us to the next level.
I’m not looking for a rebuild. I’m not patient enough for that and you should not be either. And our situation does not require tearing things down and starting over. We’re not far from being the team we all believe can deliver a Stanley Cup. As I have in the past, I’ll continue to give the necessary resources to our new GM, resources intended to remake the Wild from a “good” playoff contender to a “great” Stanley Cup championship contender. That’s why I’m in this…nothing less.
The fans in the State of Hockey are the most passionate in the NHL. You and other members of the Season Ticket Community have given incredible support to our organization, which we don’t take for granted. And for that we are so grateful.
Sincerely,
Craig Leipold
Take a good look at all the trash in the road ditches and freeways, a good portion of that trash finds its way into the storm sewer systems during heavy rains. That sewer system is a direct connection to the river system, look along the shore lines next time your on the river. High waters take everything down stream.
That system is in pace for most Modern Industrialized countries. Then you have governments around the world that have no concern over the pollution that they
create. Third world countries that the only sewer systems they have are the river Systems.
Sorry but That is my Al Gore moment for the day.
Boston -vs- Toronto 1st Game 7,it should be a good game to watch. Toronto comes out on top.

Lack of an Impact Player
And we finally get to this. This is the single-biggest issue that has thwarted the Wild from making a deep playoff run during Fletcher’s tenure. The Wild just did not acquire a player who could make a superstar-level impact on a nightly basis.
This wasn’t for a lack of trying. The Chuck Fletcher era was littered with players who were acquired in hopes of being that kind of superstar. Martin Havlat, Mikael Granlund, Jason Zucker, Dany Heatley, Devon Setoguchi, Charlie Coyle, Zack Phillips, Parise, Suter, Pominville, Nino Niederreiter, Vanek, Eric Staal. There are varying levels of success among them, but all fall short of true superstar status.
Some will say that it’s hard to acquire such a player. That the only path to getting one is to tank and get a draft pick that allows you to draft a Connor McDavid, a Nathan MacKinnon, or a Patrik Laine.
It’s true that it’s hard to acquire those stars. But it’s not impossible.
Look at some of the best players in the league, and you’ll see that many of them weren’t acquired with those picks.
Just in the Wild’s division, we see players like Tyler Seguin, who was traded from Boston to Dallas for two-way winger Loui Eriksson and prospects. Also in Dallas, there’s John Klingberg, drafted in the 5th-round in 2010 when Minnesota was helping themselves to Johan Larsson and Brett Bulmer. In St. Louis, there’s Vladimir Tarasenko, also drafted in 2010 behind Mikael Granlund. In Nashville, there’s Filip Forsberg, acquired for Martin Erat, of all things. P.K. Subban, traded for Suter’s former defensive partner Shea Weber. Ryan Johansen, whom the Wild tried, but failed, to acquire via trade.
And around the league? Native Minnesotan Phil Kessel was traded to Pittsburgh for a song. Taylor Hall was traded from Edmonton for a middle-pair defenseman.
And of course, the one superstar-level player Minnesota did draft, Kirill Kaprizov, isn’t in North America. A bit unlucky, perhaps, but Fletcher’s camp didn’t seem to do a good enough job communicating interest in him. And the Wild sure needed a player at his level in the playoffs this season.
With all the star players flying around in the draft and the trade market, there was plenty of opportunity for Fletcher to snag one. He was either unwilling or unable to do what it took to land such a player. This will define his legacy in Minnesota, no matter what good he did for the franchise overall.
With similar salary cap woes, a limited prospect pool, and another expansion draft slated for 2020, keeping the Wild afloat will be tricky for the Wild’s next general manager to accomplish.
But it’s become clear that Fletcher isn’t the person who is best suited to navigate the waters in the State of Hockey. It’s time to give a new voice a chance to craft the Wild in their image.
There’s so many holes, but a few prospects stepping up and actually getting Kap in the building would sure help ease some pressure on the trinity. Don’t want to blow it up, but mixing it up is sure doable.
I partially agree with your view on the players listed.
Not sure what it means to blow it up, that’s hard to do with all the guaranteed contracts.What needs to happen is a shake up.
RS AND ZP will be here for several years, the problem with the wild is they have no one that supports their play.Eric Stall has been probably one of Fletcher’s best acquisitions, after that his moves have not panned out.
The current players do not seem to have the drive or passion or whatever you want to call it? to ramp up ther play in the playoffs. If one guy has a good game going then the team plays better,problem is that there are to many players waiting for someone else to make a play.
Hopefully the new GM moves some of those players.
Just having a new perspective with the roster and the right moves,will be enough to shake this team up.
<div class=”d4p-bbt-quote-title”>mplspug wrote:</div>
Suter has panned out. The series would have been different with him in the lineup. Not saying they would have won, but they would have been more competitive.Totally agree.
There are so many casual fans that think that defense doesn’t really matter and the only stat in hockey that defines a player’s worth is the G. Everything else is a BS stat, right? Well, I guess the problem with that thinking can be summed up in one word: Edmonton.
There are far more naive fans here that think you can win by just showing up year after year.
Lieopold said it himself,”nothing short of the Stanley Cup will do” The great news is the owner gets it.
The rest of those who are satisfied with one and done do not get it.
Edmonton? That’s the team with How many cups in the trophy case?
Changes will be coming – Fletcher’s contract was not renewed. He had 9 years to make something happen. It seems like it’s been the same thing year after year (for the last 6 years). I agree with management, that it is time to try something else.
Good News IMO
It will be interesting to see a new management perspective on the Wilds Roster.
