    Ek didn't sucker-punch anyone. The only sucker-punch was Hague to Kaprizov. Were I the refs, I would have probably assessed no penalties, but the only thing that may have warranted one, was to Hague. He didn't face wash him. He punched him. Sorry. You clearly haven't ever been involved in...

    That's why I said "if". Dallas (Suter) went after him 2 years ago in the playoffs and so have other teams. There is precedence. And there is also precedence for nobody righting the wrong - to my disappointment. I would have brought a career minor leaguer up in the first meeting last season...

    Uh, yeah. No. Ek didn't engage with Hague at all, so, not sure what you are talking about. Uh huh. You mean right after he got up off the ice after being sucker punched with his hands tied up by the linesman and went over and gave Hague a piece of his mind in the corner? No player has ever...

    2024-25 Wild Season

    Vegas coach guy was not shy in the post game presser either. Not quite as frontal, but definitely singled him out. Particularly for his size, Kaprizov is one of the toughest players I've ever watched closely. He rarely takes a heavy hit and when he does, he fights through it. He wins about...

    Faber +3 26:21 TOI - excellent game, as usual, decisive Buium -2 12:45 Showed speed a couple times, some very shaky plays again, hesitant with defensive positioning, passes and shots, talent is clearly there, but so is green-ness I want Faber on PP1. Enough. Gus played great - kept us in it...

    This is generally true and especially true outside of Faber and Middleton. I agree that the game plan had to include D being more aggressive in neutral zone forward, with forwards responsible for covering up and being very alert for that.

    :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: Do you even watch the games? Nope. You don't play for next year in the playoffs. Ever. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: I have no idea whether this is right or not. But he has ZERO NHL experience leading into the game. LOL!! What was he supposed to say? "I can't...

    100%. Not his fault. He’s young. He’s new. He’s talented. But Jesus coach, choose your spots!!!

    2024-25 Wild Season

    No debating? Brock Faber is clearly the most dynamic, offensive defenseman we have. He’s proven it over the past year +. He’s also been in the system, been on the ice IN THE NHL with those players, on power plays, on 6-on-5s. He wouldn’t have turned the puck over on a careless, weak pass with a...

    With 1:30 to play and the goalie pulled HOW THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE BUIUM ON THE ICE AND FABER ON THE BENCH??!?!?!!!?! That’s insanity!!!!

    Well this game blows, so maybe this reminder note I found while surfing nhl.com will cheer you up: Marat Khusnutdinov NOTES & TRANSACTIONS Traded to Boston by Minnesota with Jakub Lauko and a 6th-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft for Justin Brazeau, March 6, 2025.

    I see, that makes sense. In that case, I agree with your original statement.

    Per ChatGPT, completely blown play by Sharp (his 2nd in two possessions): Q: so, he can jump to get the defender in the air, put the ball on the floor, before a foot touches and continue dribbling? A: Yes, that is correct! As long as the player begins their dribble (releases the ball to the...

    FINALLY, we beat Oettinger. 3-2 in OT on a terrific passing play on a 4-on-3 PP.

    I’m only going by the data you posted. But if Calgary needed to win three more games than the Wild and Calgary had seven games remaining and the Wild had five games remaining, what would happen if both teams won all of their remaining games?

    That’s not controlling their own destiny. But the data is interesting nonetheless.

    He came damned close, after they restored the goalie - after the empty netter - to getting the hatty to break the record. One Grade A look (which he held the puck on?) and a couple sniper tries. Would have been epic.

    Gus blew it on the OT goal. Chisholm blew it on a goal. Johansson is playing extremely well. Bunch of sloppy penalties, but one sweet shorty and almost another. With all that and no Ek or Kaprizov, I’ll definitely take the point.
