    Another possibility: Indianapolis is the #25 TV market and a hub of year-round sports. The NHL could possibly work there. But I still think they would want Houston or Atlanta. Those are #6 & 7 TV markets respectively, with over twice the market size as Indy...

    Last I heard, Milwaukee is a terrible hockey market. I doubt Chicago would be too concerned.

    All-Things 2023 Minnesota Wild Off-Season Thread

    Yeah, and with Toronto - an original sixer - having never made the Stanley Cup Finals since before expansion (1967), it would be ripe for a relocated team to steal some market. Would be interesting. Pretty doubtful, though. I'm sure the NHL wants some huge US TV market.

    ??? "And so it begins?" A great signing at a team-friendly price? Yeah, bring it on.

    You obviously don’t understand that +/- is only even strength. Matching up against the other team’s top line can lead to a few goals against. The opposing teams have good players too. Downplaying the 4th leading scorer for a team that has limited scoring depth seems shortsighted. Defense...

    Right. He's our #1 face off guy, top penalty killer and stands in front of the net on the power play. Let's see, what has cost us massively in this series........?

    This is uncharacteristically careless and lazy analysis. Eriksson-Ek is arguably the most important player on the Wild.

    Ok, please, PLEASE, help me out here. I can never remember which grip is which (weak vs. strong) and can NEVER remember which one supposedly influences which ball flight. My confusion is two-fold. First off, I have ALWAYS used the same grip (both "Vs" pointing at my right shoulder - I am RH)...

    I strongly disagree with this. This team has overachieved the past two years. No way will they fire him. This season, we had one bonafide superstar, one top level defensemen, one do-it-all-guy, one possible superstar, one goalie on social security, one unproven goalie and the rest...

    I actually thought of that too. Robertson has already been blasted a couple times - legally - maybe that's what led to the Suter cheap shots. Anyway, you could be right. But I think someone would just love to light up Suter, honestly.

    Nicklaus is obviously the most prolific left-to-right player ever. No big shock on that design. Sounds perfect!! You could try taking the club back a *little* more inside of your normal backswing. (Rule #1 on golf course adjustments - as I'm sure you know - is no big adjustments - save those...

    Nyquist played so well too. Oh. And Gustavsson, Gustavsson’s stick handle and Gustavsson’s posts…….

    All Things About Golf

    Natural swing is a fade. Both in baseball/softball and in golf. From a very young age, I have always been able to square up a fade/slice in either sport. When I am playing well, I can step up to the tee, aim left edge of the fairway, open my stance slightly, rock *slightly* on my backswing and...

    I disagree. The two “thug” plays by the Wild were both called. Playing physical in hockey is not “thug.” Dirty cheap shots away from the play on the other team’s superstar are the definition of thug. The strategy is to send a message that we are not going to be pushed around like we have in the...
