lol! No, he doesn’t. If he is activated, however, he somehow figures into the compensatory draft pick formula. https://www.si.com/nfl/vikings/news/answering-8-questions-raised-by-the-vikings-signing-daniel-jones-01jdqakf6mmz The Giants paid him $22.5 million to not play for them. They signed...

You realize he runs the scout team offense, right? It would take 2 injuries for him to see any snaps in a game. Otherwise the chances are 0.0%.

???? Don’t apply for a football coaching, scouting or front office job. Stick to coin toss bets.

And we need production from 12. And SOMEBODY else. Anybody. Rossi has gone dark too. This is a bad skid. Not scoring and giving up goals in bunches.

6 minute walk. Weathered the sloppy storm in the first period, with Fleury saving the day on a few Grade A chances. Kaprizov with a ridiculous goal off the goalie’s mask into the upper corner from a sweet purposefully executed pass off the boards behind the net from the left point to the right...

First Wild game I've ever been to where I left early. St Paul Hotel was full of shellshocked Wild fans.......

Aha. I see. I thought the discussion was focused on non-division winners, but yeah, I agree.

I think you mean home field? Only top conference team gets a bye.

Yeah. I meant to mention 4 had a bad game. Allowing dude to just walk in from the right side and shoot on a wide open Gus was terrible. Even the chick commentator called him out.

Defensive breakdowns are beginning to become concerning. But missing 3 top players might do that. Great resilience. Getting out of there with any points at all was a coup. Boldy is in a funk. Maybe the shootout winner will get him back on track.

Pretty good defensive opponent - and zero cash-ins on some Grade A and A- chances. Boldy and Foligno could have changed the trajectory of the game early.

Agree. He has some Kaprizov in him, is what I see with small sample size and obviously not quite as good.

And playing well. And winning.

Total domination so far.

So you are saying @Spoofin played 1B in baseball, but C in softball? In my experience, fitness/food intake-challenged folks fit well at 3B in softball too- you barely have time to move. Just take it off the nuts, pick it up, throw him out. @Spoofin likely gets time there as well.

With apologies to Mats Zucarello, we always scream out: “LOOSE NUT!!!!!” Never been shushed once though.

They would never do my idea of a chaser, because it would lead to collisions. Your idea is the only viable idea. It still wouldn't be anything like real hockey. :(

You could also go back to 4 on 4. That would help make it less arcade-y. But also make it more difficult to score, leading to more shootouts. And those totally blow. In the shootout, I would add a defending chaser that starts at the far blue line - both players start when the whistle blows...

It’s not an arcade game. It’s still hockey. But they should try to figure a way to eliminate all the circling. You are, of course, entitled to your opinion and I understand where you are coming from.

I don’t agree and don’t think “purists” agree with that - ties suck. I just wish they would make a rule that you cannot have possession of the puck, then purposely retreat from the attacking zone all the way over the center red line. I think that should be a turnover given to the other team...
