28 doesn’t have the same ducer as the 8 and 18. 28 has the pro-view ducer

FL 8 12 18 20 22 and 28 all use the same transducers. They can use the proview aka 9 degree, or 12 or 19 degree or discontinued dual and tri beam ducers. The 30 uses a completely different transducer that isn’t compatible with the others

All depends on the size of the animal in the end. This one was a 1450 lb Red Angus.

So for a 1450 lb animal what’s the final package weight of your quarter? Complete guess would be around 120ish

28 to 30 is the big jump; 30 uses a different transducer and therefor can do different things the others can’t, better things. 28 uses the same transducer as the 8 and 18, just the display that’s different. I assume the 38 is basically the 30 with adjustable zoom

LMAO yes, I’m that old…..

LOL sorry Randy didn’t mean to do you dirty like that

Exactly, another ride on the 82 game rollercoaster

Agreed. They’re getting spanked right now and that makes all the little mistakes seem so much worse and more glaring. Win a game or get a big save and no one remembers the little mistake in the 2nd period. Faceoffs are a perfect example. They’ve been the same all year but now that they’re losing games it’s like “oh this faceoff thing is just horrible, needs to be fixed, unacceptable”. But when they were winning no one cared about faceoffs. The losing isn’t going to last forever, just take a breath

6 wins and 8 losses against the playoffs locks. 4 of those losses coming in the last 6 games

They’re in a rough patch, everything is bad, they can’t win faceoffs, the sky is falling. Blah blah blah

Has anyone seen an update on Faber?

Russo should stick to pimping onX Mapping lol if I ever meet him my only question will be if he has any idea what that is

Crazy he’s almost UFA, seems like he was just drafted. I think he’d fill a very similar middle 6 winger role to what they expect of Ohgren. Just he’s ready to do it now and be at his prime the next 5 years with 97, 7, 12, 14, 23, etc compared to Ohgren who’s still developing and not a sure thing to get there at all.

Seeing a theme here with wild thinking other teams messed up the development of high picks by putting them in the NHL too early

I really like that whenever these guys come available the Wild are always mentioned as in the conversation. Been that way all of BG’s tenure, all the way back to the Eichel sweepstakes. If nothing else it shows management is at least active and working hard doing their jobs. Colorado, Vegas, Carolina are some other teams I think of that always seem to be mentioned when a big name comes available the last 5 or so years.

Right with you there. My concern is if when it quits working at of course the worst time possible, you’re left completely screwed. Insulation doesn’t really malfunction

Stealing Kakko right now would be great – kinda like the Jiricek trade but older. Plug him right into the middle 6 and into Ohgren’s projected future spot. Could see a young forward like Ohgren or Khusnutdinov used in the trade too. Rangers have a lot of cap space this year so hypothetically they could retain to make it work

Just an idiot question – what major advances have taken place with Vex since the Sitex days?

Yeah not much really. Brighter display, zoom, some colors, and most important to me is interference rejection. Oh and cost

So you’re big point here is that goalies don’t like getting hit in the head with a puck – No sh!t, eh

Someone please make this stop, we’re at an all time low

This took me 30 seconds to find, Crosby 7 years ago:

I’m sure Kirill was doing this off Lundquist for years right. Maybe Sid picked it up from watching KHL highlights?

Go take a nap, Joe

the shot off the side/back of the goalie helmet probably started with Kirill

I can’t handle this s anymore today

We’re like 12 posts deep on this “goalie helmet issue” you just dreamed up. It hurts goalies when they get hit anywhere in the head, some handle it better than others

lol, it’s literally 1/4 inch or less foam tape…hopefully an NHL goalie talks about how they feel about it sometime…would love to hear Flower’s perspective…

5 minutes ago you wrote you didn’t know what padding was there in modern helmets and now you know the exact thickness and what it is

It’s not 1990, there’s padding in the back

Does the NHL Department of Player safety do anything about the trend of players purposely shooting off the side/back of the goalies helmet?

no

I’m not saying outlaw the shot attempt

you answered your own question

Looking at the remaining schedule you can see how that 22nd ranking is a little skewed with teams like the Sabres, Rangers, Sharks and Preds who all had biblically bad starts

Maybe YOU can, but you have a special way of seeing things

Results might be a little worse rest of the season since maybe the team won’t be red hot with lights out goaltending and finishing. But the remaining schedule is no tougher than what they’ve played so far. They also have 3 more home games than road games remaining

Wild are 22nd in remaining strength of schedule, based on current standings (32 being easiest)

I still can’t get over the Preds in dead last

Thankfully I wasn’t watching live or I would have ran straight through a wall

They had also fished previous events that summer and placed middle of the pack. FFS isn’t always the magic bullet. But when fish are suspended it absolutely is the ticket. Is side imaging when fish are on shallow sand also cheating?

Sounds pretty similar so maybe they are mildly exaggerating his soreness so they can use the emergency exception to get the kid some games while getting Gus some rest. If that’s the case, then well played

Trucks and ice castles out on the lakes here in west-ish MN. My mom’s birthday is December 19 and that’s been roughly the median date for seeing trucks on ice my entire life. This year we’re 4 days ahead of the median.
