    I think there are legitimate arguments on both sides of this. But the bottom line is that it should be the same policy whether defensive offsides or offensive. I can’t see the argument for having it incongruent. I’ll happily agree to disagree here as there’s really no right answer. All this...

    Good call. Thanks for the link - I agree. Here's a video corresponding to your link about the rule:

    The announcing pair yesterday were clueless monkeys, so they didn’t even discuss the hit and whether it should have been flagged - outside of giggling something like “welcome back to the lineup, JJ.” Looked like a defenseless receiver penalty to me.

    A meaningless Foligno fight doesn’t get the job done. It doesn’t level things out. The league won’t do it. Suter didn’t even get a penalty. The league didn’t review it. And our God damned coach let it stand without retaliation, even though we got blown out in a subsequent game. If I had been...

    Agree. And he could play a little too. But we cannot currently afford him. Ryan Reaves signed a 3 year / $4,050,000 contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Because of that, I was thinking of some sort of super cheap, fly-by-night hired gun thug to take a run at those two guys. Not anybody...

    Disagree. We won the game and settled the QB question for the rest of the season. Dobbs is out and won’t be back next year. Thanks for the memories. @Ogee Ogilthorpe was right on this guy early on.

    Brilliant call on the pooch kick. I suggested it right before the FG unit came out. Didn’t expect it to come that way. Nice call.

    He’s not very good rolling out either. Arguably worse.

    The Wild need to sign a guy they bring out very occasionally to beat the living shit out of someone with a suspendable cheap shot. Here’s my current list of targets: 1. Suter 2. Kane

    Yeah. True story. Well off the mark even. 😕

    Wild got to their hotel in Edmonton at 3:30 am after playing in Vancouver last night. The Oilers have a lot of high end offensive talent. McDavid is so silky smooth. Fleury gave up 4 goals as Edmonton doubled up on shots 40-20. Fleury actually kept us in the game - especially in the first period...

    I like that Foligno seems to be looking in the mirror and I’m betting he’s challenged all his teammates to do the same. That’s good leadership, if that’s the case, which I bet it is.

    4 in a row. Boldy with a pair. E-EK, Foligno and Kaprizov with one each. Finally getting some help scoring for previous lone wolf E-EK. Even Johansson snaps 10 game scoreless streak. Gus played well- didn’t have to work too hard. Zucc extends scoring streak and is on pace for 90+ points, which...

    NFL has really bad officiating

    They have to protect the QBs. They play the most exciting position in all of sports and the superstars are must-see and every team’s starter is capable of electric play or colossal mistakes. The single best rule change in the last 25 years was adding the two point conversion. It preserves the...

    Strib Chip Scoggins: Minnesota QB search twice as tricky, given coach P.J. Fleck’s philosophy

    Ok, now we need a stud transfer receiver. I think the odds just improved.

    Boldy and Kaprizov have come to life again. That’s helpful.

    The minutes were spread more evenly, with the 4th line deservedly given significantly more run.

    I think they should take a look at a guy who is around the program, has his degree, was a terrific player with a clean record: Quince Lewis
