Hynes said he was in a great deal of pain on the bench, typically your groin hurts mostly when striding, but I havent hurt mine enough and am not athletic enough anymore to obviously compare to KK LOL.
and if it was groin pain, the trainers would have immediately yanked him right off the bench, there’s ZERO chance they would let him continue to play with groin pain, ZERO…

as Wild fans, we’re overly-sensitive to a star hockey player developing chronic groin issues…I dont know what you are talking about cough cough.
Remember all of the fan speculation that it was the Excel Energy Center Ice crew’s fault…#GabbyGlassGroin
It would be nice if Russo or another reporter asked GMBG why they didn’t go with the surgery option earlier?
This injury sounds like a Sports Hernia vs anything groin related that would all of a sudden require surgery but isn’t season ending and only has a 4-6 week recovery period (Groin surgery is typically only required for a complete muscle tear or separation and has a 4+ month recovery timeline)…this also helps explain Hynes comments today that Kirill was trying to just play through the discomfort the past 3 games (they likely wouldn’t let him keep playing with groin pain) but perhaps the hernia pushed farther through the muscle wall now and they said it had to get repaired immediately?
lets hope that the case, as Wild fans, we’re overly-sensitive to a star hockey player developing chronic groin issues…
so funny listening to KFAN with PA going off on his “LTIR idea” even bringing it up chatting with GMBG on air, but he has ZERO clue how LTIR works….Pat Micheletti & Nordo had to stop him and explain it… PA is such a clown…
lost in the Kirill news is WTF is up with Brodin? Did he break his foot or not? there’s no way tissue bruising keeps a player out this long…are they keeping him out with something other than his foot?
BillyG on kfan right now, says the surgery decision was helped by the league shutting down for 2 weeks next month for the 4 Nations, thus giving Kirill 2 weeks of recovery time without missing games…
and pick up Brock Nelson or JT Miller or some other big name forward
Vancouver keeps sliding (currently out of the playoffs) if that stays as-is, Boesser will be available at the deadline…He would be more impactful than Nelson imo (he would immediately replace Jojo on 2nd line and not mess with Ek & Rossi)
I don’t see them wanting Miller due to his locker room history & term left on his deal…
I don’t even remember how he got injured? Does anybody know what happened?
it was never a “leave the game” injury, he likely felt a twitch during a game late December, told the trainers afterwards and they shut him down until he felt normal again, came back a few games ago and re-aggravated/injured it and now surgery is the best option…
surgery scheduled asap, not season ending, out a minimum 4 weeks…hopefully its a hernia and not a groin injury/repair…
good thing that 1st round pick we traded for Jiricek is top 5 protected…
New Chicklets Podcast discussing the Rantanen trade, Pat Maroon interview, etc..
These are always good, Middleton’s part starts at 9 minutes…
So we are or are not expecting a 2.0 ?
I think the Bassmaster’s Classic in late March is the earliest chance for a Garmin announcement…then iCast in July as the latest date its announced…just my opinion…
I think if you start to see the GPSMap86xx series have closeout sales would be another indicator, especially if Garmin’s plan is for a new higher end model lineup rollout as a requirement for Livescope 2.0 (if Garmin plans on including the CPU horsepower in the head units to eliminate the need for a separate GLS10 sonar module, which I think would be a risky, but very smart move on their part)
I would place my bets that Garmin has had Livescope 2.0 ready for awhile now and has been waiting for the competition to catch up enough to justify releasing it and thus killing the high profit margin they’ve been enjoying on Livescope 1.0 all these years…Hopefully they’ve had good field testers during this time helping perfect the software side of things for the eventual consumer release (Kudos to those guys for keeping a tight lip!)
I would personally hold off making a Livescope purchase for the next 6 months, if they do launch 2.0, the existing 1.0 system price (especially the used market) will fall through the floor with so many existing owners upgrading…
Don’t think Colorado cares one bit about their prospect pool until Mackinnon is retired. Picks are really just trade assets for them
And I doubt there’s a superstar in the league who cares about any team’s prospect pool
agreed, but in order to get the good players you gotta find a team willing to trade them and then have picks and prospects that team wants…
seems like the smarter play would have been to pay what your future HOF was worth or if the report is correct, less than what he’s worth…
I wonder what Nate and Cale will think about waiting for Picks and Prospects?
Similar to what Kaprizov thinks I’m guessing.
Our prospect core (Boldy/Rossi/Faber/Wallstedt) is at the NHL (Buium and Yurov next year but likely way ahead of the learning curve) when Kirill is hitting his prime, not even close to the same for the Avs…who have one of the worst prospect pools with limited future picks…they do have a recent Cup though so there’s that argument…
Don’t disagree just saying it seems as though the GM is taking the approach I mentioned.
I guess that depends on what they do with Necas, do they keep and extend him or trade him for picks and prospects? I wonder what Nate and Cale will think about waiting for Picks and Prospects? Maybe the younger Necas turns into a cheaper Rantanen 2.0, if so then Sakic is playing 4D chess…Rantanen owned the Wild so i’m happy…should be said that Carolina doesn’t have an extension with him yet so who knows what his future holds…risky move by the Canes…
Not saying Garmin reps don’t sign NDA’s because I really don’t know but I have never signed a NDA repping fishing equipment and when I used to fish with guys that repped Vexilar I am pretty sure they didn’t because I was well aware of what was coming about a year out. Usually had my hands on newest model a good 6 months prior to release. I usually know of a rod or real remake or refresh more than a year out.
I wonder what the global FFS market value is vs early mechanical flashers with no competition until Marcum came along with a few good years of digital stuff?
Now Toronto needs to trade Marner
No need, Tavares will sign a sweetheart cheap extension to retire a Leaf freeing up all the cap they need to extend Marner, he’s the straw that stirs the drink and has proven countless times he can carry the team by himself…The only thing that can throw a wrench into things is what Knies will ask for this offseason, but Toronto has other methods of incentivizing players to sign (local endorsement deals)
Even though the cap is going up Mac Rat and Makar will tie up a significant amount of money.
yeah, but you gotta figure out how to keep future HOFers entering their prime right? Necas being the biggest piece coming back to the Avs will be a UFA after next season and he’s likely going to want $9+ aav, so would you rather have the proven Rantanen or Necas plus $1-2 million more capspace? again, this is assuming he was willing to take less than $14aav…
as more information comes out regarding the Avs/Canes trade, it just gets stranger and stranger…
Rantanen gave an interview this weekend and said the trade was a huge surprise to him and he told Avs management awhile ago that he was willing to take a “significantly lower AAV under what the market value said he should get to stay an Av” (around $14 million aav) Nathan MacKinnon also gave an interview and said he was completely blindsided by the trade and was never talked to about it beforehand…
It’s also kind of strange Mikko would say that when he’s now playing for another team and still needs to negotiate a new contract with somebody, now those teams know he was willing to take less…
So who do you believe?
If 2.0 comes out i would be thinking of a upgrade for sure !
I would need to see what the improvements are and do I need to basically start over buying a new head unit, battery, shuttle, etc… in terms of technology improvements, what else do we really need from FFS that the LVS34 doesn’t already provide other than perhaps a bit wider beam so its easier to track your bait, I mean we can friggin see their fins moving on screen 60′ out and 30′ deep for crying out loud!
So it begins….
Vegas’s Alex Pieterangelo withdraws from the 4 Nations Tourney roster due to “body soreness and wanting to rest for the playoffs” yet is still playing in Vegas’s regular season games leading upto the tournament.
Curious to see how the NHL/NHLPA deals with this before we see MANY more players doing the same…
honestly, these reps all sign NDA’s that allows them access to the newest stuff way early, they are all told to say nothing is on the horizon because Garmin wants as many sales of the existing LVS34 that they can get…There’s ZERO chance a Rep would risk termination over giving somebody (friend or not) any insight information on their next gen technology…

The Wild has a year to figure out the Kaprizov extension or it will be us forced to make a similar move next season…. I’m sure Kirill’s agent doesn’t mind having a current example of what can happen if we dont hit Kirill’s asking price (which we would)Slightly different IMO. KK is the only player on the team of that caliber right now. Similar to NFL
QB situation right now it’s about when you sign vs what you sign for.
If you give KK the bank currently I don’t think they have a player that will resign for more anytime soon.
I agree they are 2 teams in slightly different roster situations when the Avs had 3 league superstars the Wild only one and I mention the Wild are going to give Kirill what he wants if its all about $$, my comment was mostly about who knows what can happen (who thought Rantanen was going to get traded) and the Wild will be in this position this time next year if nothing gets done over the summer…
I’m having a hard time buying the Avs excuse that they traded Rantanen because they didn’t want to pay him $14aav, that makes ZERO sense for a HOF player in his prime and with a league salary cap that’s about to explode, even with MacKinnon at $12.5 and Makar’s next deal likely in the $12-$13 range… You DON’T trade HOF players over a few million dollars…
Before that rally at the end I was going to say this game has all the feels of a “Closed Locker room players Only meeting” afterwards…
Lots of wtf were they thinking moments on defense this game that directly lead to goals… Flower for the first time played like a 40 year old on a farewell tour, Boldy is stuck in another one of his head in the clouds streaks…
Thankfully they have a get well game tomorrow against the Hawks….
Charlie Stramel torched the Gophers last night with a goal & assist and he went 21/25 on faceoffs…
I give that kid full props for doing a 180 on his career this season, I need to eat some crow for ripping on him even though his sophomore season deserved all the criticism it got…

Will be interesting to see what that does to the Av’s this season and in the future.
depends in what they do with Necas next season… but there’s zero chance they’ll be better off. It sounds like the Avs didn’t want to pay Rantanen more than MacKinnon’s aav as he’s their best player… well wtf are they going to do in a few years when Makar demands $13+ after taking that team friendly deal last contract? With the cap expected to jump so much in the next few years there will be tons of players making more than MacKinnon’s aav…
What were the Blackhawks even doing in this trade?
absolutely no idea…. Take on $4.5 million and trade away Hall for a 3rd?!?
What was your favorite Bedard to Rantanen memory?
So the Avs weren’t willing to give Rantanen $14 million a season so he forced them to trade him, but the penny pinching Canes will? Huh?
