2024-25 Wild Season

First Wild game I've ever been to where I left early. St Paul Hotel was full of shellshocked Wild fans.......
Is that hotel walking distance to the X? We always stay at the Holiday Inn across the street from the X. Getting a bit spendy though

6 minute walk.

Weathered the sloppy storm in the first period, with Fleury saving the day on a few Grade A chances. Kaprizov with a ridiculous goal off the goalie’s mask into the upper corner from a sweet purposefully executed pass off the boards behind the net from the left point to the right side of the net by 4. Boldy finally cashed in on a wide open breakaway on a massive defensive breakdown. 200 career points. He’s 23!

Stay out of the penalty box and put this one away.
 

The Wild hosting the VGK in a game that is the back end of a back-to-back for both teams; two home games for the Wild while VGK will be flying in from Edmonton.

Too much for the road weary Knights, not to mention the two teams took different approaches with handling their Goalies in the back-to-back; the Wild went with Fleury last night, saving Gus for the Vegas game while VGK went with starter Adin Hill at Edmonton last night, and will be starting backup Samsonov. Samsonov is either really great or really bad.

I took the Wild on the (-1.5) puck line and the OVER total of 6 goals. The only way the Wild don't win this one is if VGK responds with an inspired defensive effort after a very atypical poor defensive game against the Oilers, but on the back end of a road back-to-back, I don't see it.

EDIT: Well I sure as hell didn't expect the Wild to be starting Wallstedt in goal.

4-1 Florida after 2. Florida on their 5th road game and Wild haven't played since Sunday. Wild have one line right now. 2,3, and 4 have been pretty much absent during this mini skid. Need number 14 back

And we need production from 12. And SOMEBODY else. Anybody. Rossi has gone dark too. This is a bad skid. Not scoring and giving up goals in bunches.
 


After losing to Utah at home tonight they are officially in a slump. No offense to speak of. Ugly hockey right now. Not to mention 0-5 on the man advantage

Had no idea the entire league was taking 3 full days off for Christmas. Good move by the NHL; give the players a much-needed break and why compete with the NFL and NBA anyway?
