    16 games in the next 29 days. In one month, we should know where this team stands. 9-3 in the last 12 is great. But this stretch is critical. We need Spurgeon and Brodin back!

    Not to fuel the irresponsible speculation fire, but can an athlete transfer before the next semester starts and be immediately eligible? Asking for a friend…. p.s. I despise the no-penalty transfer

    Who will have the greatest career of our three young stalwarts?

    Faber has plenty of offense. And he’s barely scratching the surface.

    He played a great game. All of our top players played extremely well. 14, 97, 23, 12, 7. It was another very entertaining game.

    On cue, Kirill!! Thrilling regular season hockey game. Fleury played out of his mind. One of his best games for the Wild. The 3rd period was riveting hockey. Kaprizov scores two, including the OT winner. He was interviewed after the game and looked pretty happy. Me too….. Excited for the game...

    That game stunk. We desperately need Kaprizov to start scoring some goals. Sure could use Calen Addison right about now. What did we get for him???

    Faber ate up a ton of ice time and by the end was completely gassed. Had an own goal on an unlucky carom off his skate - not his fault, really, he had no time to react. Play was dangerous and he was covering a would-be goal scorer, so bad break. Without that, we win 2-1 in regulation - at...

    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

    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...
