    2024-25 Wild Season

    If I were a GM, coach or fan, I wouldn't want my guys playing in this thing. Sorry. It's great for hockey. But it's wear-and-tear and risk of injury for what actually matters. Two thumbs down. (Fun to watch though......I thought it would be more tame. I did enjoy McDavid getting it back in...

    It won’t be Kaprizov holding himself back. It will be the team holding Kaprizov back.

    I think he is pretty skilled and could generate a lot of goals. I don't think his output was a fluke - maybe the high end, but not a fluke. I honestly just think he's kind of an HJ Pierzynski type guy - that is to say, a dick.

    He'll be out 6 weeks, I bet. No way they rush him back. Especially if we maintain our playoff positioning. If we start to tank, then they might push the timetable.

    The (bigger?) problem is that Hartman would have to approve the trade for 15 teams next year and 10 the following. It's not clear from the above if we could trade him this year, unrestricted.

    Stupid question here. We don't get any salary cap relief due to dipshit being suspended, do we? I assume that $487K is money in the Wild ownership pockets, isn't it?

    $487K in forfeited salary. Geez. We just extended him….. Ryan Hartman signed a 3 year, $12,000,000 contract with the Minnesota Wild, including $12,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $4,000,000. In 2024-25, Hartman will earn a base salary of $5,000,000, while carrying a cap hit...

    Damnit. I was busy most of the afternoon and evening and caught 5 minutes of Bareemo without Guerin on yet. One texter speculated it might be a hernia. Then they started talking about scrotums and testicles. Then I arrived at my destination. Any further clues on what the surgery was? Let me...

    Souhan: The problems with the men’s program began with disgraced athletic director Norwood Teague.

    Well, I wanted to look at attendance during the heyday of the Clem seasons, but apparently those seasons never happened. This is a trite refrain, but I want my God-damned money back. You can't even keep the attendance figures on the web site? Are you kidding me? WTAF...

    Spurgeon looked solid. Kaprizov flashed and definitely could have scored a couple times, but understandably wasn't on the same page with guys. Hynes juggled the lines after the first period. There wasn't much jump early. Last 2/3 we controlled the puck, but couldn't score. Utah's PK is 90%...

    One was brutal. Fluttering shot that was going about 10 mph. All he had to do was wall up. Instead he kicked his pad out lazily (or severely misjudging the speed) and a "Utah" (what the hell am I supposed to call him?) caught a piece of it and it fluttered over his pad. Terrible. 4-0 with...

    Late to the party here, but can we officially say Gus is slumping? Not giving us a chance to win tonight. Meanwhile, tons of O-zone time, but can't put the biscuit in the basket. Also, Gaudreau never, ever scores.......

    It will be very interesting to see how they do tomorrow. I really hope they get a win - that would be quite a feat! Since they don't play until Thursday........ ;)

    The score was 3-3 at the time against a conference rival. The only non-moronic time to do something like that would have been with less than a minute to play when we were down by 2.
