    Who wins the Minnesota Wild Dallas Stars Series?

    Everyone take a valium. Two fluke Dallas goals by Johnston and a bunch of Grade A near misses by the good guys. We are ok. Hughes and Faber look amazing. KK, Boldy and Ek are going to produce.

    Who wins the Minnesota Wild Dallas Stars Series?

    I don't mind this move. Petry has been good, down the stretch.

    Who wins the Minnesota Wild Dallas Stars Series?

    Re-watched some of Game 1. I noticed a few borderline viscous cross checks to Kaprizov's back. Something to keep an eye on as the series (and hopefully playoffs) progress. That has proven effective in the past to chip away at his effectiveness by literally trying to hurt him (he's not a big...

    Non-sequitur. Jiricek is awful. Worst move Guerin has made during his tenure to acquire that piece of shit in the first place.

    Jiricek sucks. Was a terrible move to give up what we did to get that dead weight. Bye. Enjoy minor league hockey. You suck.

    Just looked up OT rules for 2026 Olympics: 2026 Olympic Hockey Overtime Rules: Preliminary Round Games: 5-minute, 3-on-3 sudden-death overtime. If still tied, a 5-round shootout follows. Knockout/Medal Rounds (Quarter/Semifinal): 10-minute, 3-on-3 sudden-death overtime. If still tied, a...

    They should use 4-on-4 for the first half. First whistle after 5 minute mark goes to 3-on-3. 3-on-3 sucks. It's stupid. Shootouts are just completely idiotic. But you have to decide it somehow. I think the gold medal game is different somehow though.

    I'm curious about "hs hockey year review". Care to expand on that? I'm a HUGE hockey fan and have relatives that coach HS hockey. What is debated there and by whom? What interesting things are being considered? Side note specific to your thought about using shots on goal as the tiebreaker...

    Vonn clipped the gate midair in probably the most difficult section of the course, just after the initial speed drop out of the gate. Knocked her sideways midair. Very tough to watch. 30 minute delay as she was airlifted off the course. A second racer is also now being airlifted out. To...

    Never in a million years would I have guessed before the season started that a very good argument could be made for Kaprizov being the 4th most valuable player on the team. Hughes - absolute approach changing player Boldy - all-around game is impressive - very good penalty killer, great on PP...

    15 players on the scoresheet with at least an assist or goal. Including Wallstedt. That's got to be close to a record.

    I appreciate this! If it's not too much trouble, could you also list the events they are competing in? Thanks!

    I actually agree with this - that it does seem to be teams are more willing to risk losing possession by taking shots this season. Last night was awful though. Wild tied for league lead with 20 OT games. We are 10-0-10 in them, but man.

    Wild win the OT opening draw and circle around with the puck for over two minutes, taking zero shots. Make a rule that you cannot retreat over the red line with the puck if you have entered the offensive zone with possession and never surrender possession. I am really tired of watching OT...

    Hughes is elite. He gets so many shots on goal - 8 tonight. He can't seem to get one to go, but they will come, either straight up, on a tip or rebound. You can't get that many pucks on net without them going in. Wild dominated the third period and just couldn't light the lamp. OT winner was...

    Huge understatement. R.I.P., Grateful Dead. It was one helluva ride.

    All Things 2026 Minnesota Vikings Off-Season Thread

    They had a torn up offensive line the entire season. Run blocking requires choreography that not knowing the guy's name next to you on the O-line, inexperience at both the center position and QB and suspect ability of the QB to read a defense make it very difficult to produce a reliable running...
