My understanding is that the Wild have unusually high cap space available for the remainder of this season (only). They have “facilitated” two trades involving two other teams doing something with that cap space (presumably absorbing cap space they can afford that the others can’t). Kane has...

A little of both in that game. A whole lot of chasing on the defensive end. Stupid/careless penalties. One bad goal given up by Fleury. On the plus side: 1. Kaprizov and Zucc were playing superbly. The vision they have and the ability to execute was next level. 2. Boldy looked fresh. He was...

Now change the name back and take the L on one of the worst nicknames in sports history. Was at the game last night. Lively crowd, lively play by the home team. Good win. 3 for 3 in the shootout for the W.

Poor effort to start the game again tonight. This time though, they couldn’t get it past Anderson when they did come alive. Fleury was incredible early - and the only reason the game was tied 0-0 after one. But then he went the other direction, including a head-scratching unobstructed softie...

Fantastic. Now lock down Zuccarello for at least a couple more years. He's got this year and next year left on his deal at $6MM per (he's turning 36 in September). I bet they could get him for 3 years, $20MM? That would be one more year than Kaprisov has remaining - and incentivize him to...

Kind of an ugly game. Fleury played well though and a 5 on 3 power play turned the game as the Wild scored during that and just a second after the remaining 5 on 4 power play expired (effectively a power play goal).

Down 1-0 midway through the third, with Brodin in the box, Freddy scored a HUGE SH goal to turn the game around off a SWEET setup by Ek on another tough, mega-hustle play, followed by a superb finesse move. They had to turn back the clock as it was initially ruled no goal, and play continued. At...

I don't know. I watched too and the puck just wasn't bouncing the right way. So many near miss goals. Wild could have easily scored 4-5 goals. Sometimes they just won't go in.

Great defense. Stifled Ottawa’s power play, which has been hot. Gustavsson has been great in net the past few games. And that top line- man. You can’t take your eyes off the game when they are out there.

Being a terrible skater must suck for you.

Great 2-1 win tonight to take the season series 2-1 from Connor McDavid and a very potent Edmonton Oilers team. Matt Boldy is heating up - he had another goal (PP) off a terrific set play feed from superstar Karill Kaprizov. Later Boldy sets up Gaudreau with a nice pass on a rush started with...

Those two are veterans, you fucking idiot.

1. Does Garcia suck? 2. Payne needs to play more 3. Carrington needs to play more 4. STOP shooting 3s when you are like 7% 5. Are you kidding me with this free throw shooting?

Checked in on Kevin Fiala. He's off to a blazing start with 3 goals, 10 assists in 12 games. He's been blanked only 3 times (in a row Oct 18-22). https://www.nhl.com/player/kevin-fiala-8477942 Compare to Kaprizov: 8 G, 5 Assists in 10 games. Wonder if the right move would have been to let...

Must Open Thread That Says “St Thomas” In Title……. No Self Control……

I couldn't agree more. My buddy and I had this conversation last night. Some teams have that "how are we going to win" mentality and some have the "how are we going to lose" mentality. Some teams just don't have the ability to come back from a deficit or lose focus when they blow a lead. It...

Went to my first AAA Saints game last night. Didn't recognize a single player (not that I pay *that* much attention). The Saints got 2 hits - no hitter into the 6th, 2 hits in the 6th, then no more. Every guy was batting low .200s, except for maybe one or two. Pitching gave up 6 runs...
