I’m not certain how the rule works. It’s a race to the face off dot. But it’s unclear to me how it works if the puck rebounds beyond the dot. Which it did.
Weird move, on the surface. Will start in Iowa. Gave up a haul of draft choices. This guy better be a stud.
He's a big, offensive RHD that we desperately need but not the greatest skater and got sour about not being an NHL regular yet.
Thanks for the information. Maybe this is the first of a few moves and we will get some draft stock back? I just don't like all those high draft picks. FWIW, TSN gave the Wild an A and Columbus a B-.
The Predators have some pretty talented players and were supposed to be much better. The Wild appeared a little gassed, but I think slogged through it and got the job done - in large part thanks to another terrific game by Gus. Nice game by Foligno and, as usual, KK buzzed all over the place at times. Quiet were Boldy and Johansson.
I'm as shocked as the next Wild fan with this start but it is early yet

The Minnesota Wild and the Columbus Blue Jackets just made a blockbuster trade. Here are my trade grades for both teams:www.sportingnews.com
Tired
Yep. Professional hockey is an absolute grind. You can’t take a shift off. I think back-to-backs with your rule would be practically impossible. I would say no home-away back-to-backs.
That just sucks and yes they need him. Enjoy the game Jake. I'll need a summary of it as I'll be at my bantam practiceMats Zuccarello Injury: Designated for LTIR | RotoWire
Zuccarello (lower body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Tuesday.www.rotowire.com
"Zuccarello (lower body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Tuesday.
"Considering Zuccarello has already missed eight games due to his lower-body injury, this switch to LTIR isn't expected to significantly impact his recovery timeline. The veteran winger will need to be out through at least the team's next three contests, though with a road trip in the mix, the earliest potential return date is likely Dec. 12 back home against Edmonton."

Going to the game tonight again - I was at Zucc's last game. We didn't know at the time he took it in the sack. Hope he's actually going to be ok soon. We need him.

I absolutely love it. I despise shootouts. I'm old school too but I've grown to love 3 on 3. When you are at the X during 3 on 3 it's usually pretty damn exciting
It's not that 3 on 3 lacks excitement, I just hate deciding a hockey game that way.
Gotta wrap up games in a 82 game regular season. And it’s a far better way than a SO.
Is this a move to make cap space to sign Kirill to a new contract? Spurgeon's contract ends in 2026, so he's gone. Jiricek won't be paid near the $8M price tag that Spurgeon's collecting this year, it'll be closer to $1M.
It could be but I don't think it downplays Guerin's genuine infatuation with Jiricek or our organizational need for a RHD with size.

I've never understood why we can't have a regular season tie, but whatever, it's obviously not going away.
Much like soccer, a tie is a very disatisfying result after investing 2.5 hours watching at home or spending $100 on a ticket.
Because ties are boring and stupid to boot.
Meh, better than playoff spots being determined by an arcade game
