    Match penalties should carry a minimum suspension of equal number of games missed by the victim. Convince me why not. Three games for that? He better hope Spurgeon doesn’t have friends on other teams- especially ones out of the playoff hunt. Someone needs to teach that pecker a lesson.

    Right. And without a salary cap, good luck. If you are a commissioner of a sport and not trying to emulate the NFL, you should be fired. Of course there are big differences. But parallels can drawn too. MLB is circling the drain and the latest $800MM contract with skyrocketing ticket prices...

    I was there as well. Packed house but very respectful crowd and easily navigable. We had a primo spot and weren’t challenged for position or even forced to hold ground at any point, which is always a bonus. You gave a terrific recap. Thanks.

    And feisty as hell.

    They were completely dead in the water until the final minute of the second period. One really nice goal and one pretty lucky goal tied it up - and less than 30 seconds into overtime Faber ends it with a classic wrap around. That flight home was going to suck. But now they should enjoy it.

    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%.

    Which QB do the Vikes draft in 2024?

    ???? 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.
