2024-25 Wild Season

No penalties gonna be called in the last 2 minutes
 

But you knew it was coming after the Wolves advanced last night. Sports gods only allow so much joy for us.
 

How about the missed penalty on Vegas 2 missed penalties in the last 2 minute of the 3rd, Wild can't save there season.
 


Also the missed calls is not the reason we loss to Vegas. up 2-1 and couldn't win game 4 is what cost us the series.

Yeah can’t really say watching hynes he does anything that really makes a move to give us an advantage. Tried to skate kk into the ground all series and he visibly wore down (weird how 20+ minutes relatively fresh off an injury does that)

That said, this team was not as good or deep as Vegas. Still the players played well enough to have the chances to win and couldn’t do it
 

Man hockey is a funny game. You could make a legitimate argument that this was the best game the Wild played all series. Oh well, way more competitive than I thought we would be. Hate to admit it but the better team won. Congrats Ogie

Adin Hill picked a good time to play his best game of the series, and Eichel stepping up in the last 2 games helped a lot. Happy there will be no Game 7, that's for sure.
 




I'm sorry, but there is just too much luck in hockey.

Deflections, lucky bounces, etc. Great sport, but the luck needed is off the charts.

It didn't seem like the Wild got lucky bounces

9 straight Playoff Series the Wild have been "unlucky".
 

Kaprizov - and nobody else on the Wild, for that matter - got “run into the ground”. Our top players were not overused. Double shifting Kaprizov (and Boldy tonight) wasn’t dumb. It was smart. Very smart. I seriously question if anyone watching closely and saying these dumb-assed things ever played the game.

Nyquist blew a play. No doubt. He also played extremely well down the stretch of the season and in the series. Gus let in a couple easy ones. But was incredible the rest of the series. Boldy and Kaprizov are superstars. Just don’t put Matt at D on the PP with another forward as his partner. Hartman played excellent. Foligno played very well - especially tonight. Faber is a budding superstar and a foundational piece. Guerin made a great call locking him and Boldy up early.

Hynes. Terrible move to elevate Buium to PP1. Awful. Stupid. Also don’t understand why Gaudreau is ahead of Rossi. Both shit moves. Hidsight is easy, but Chisholm instead of Merrill (and Buium) would have been my preference.
 





Tail of the tape points out, just like the game scores, that the Wild lost the series but didn’t get beat.
This was a very competitive series, but the Wild really need to solve the same problems as last year, the PP and PK.

Yeah PK 30th out of 32 in the NHL. Worst ever in franchise history. Uffda.
 




Starting around the 4 Nations Tournament I began to notice P.K. Subban as a Talking Puck Head for game coverage as well as TV/Radio/Podcast guest.

I find him quite entertaining. He's passionate, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, humble with a good wit.
 

The Minnesota Wild signed forward Danila Yurov to a three-year, entry-level contract, the team announced Friday.

Yurov, 21, tallied 13 goals and 25 points in 46 games this season with Metallurg Magnitogorsk in the KHL. The Wild drafted Yurov 24th overall in 2022.

The contract includes a European out clause allowing Yurov to be loaned back to the KHL if he doesn't make the Wild out of training camp, reports The Athletic's Michael Russo.
 

Leafs stun the Panthers in Florida 2-0. Game 7 Sunday. Should be a dandy
 

Last week, it sounds like the Iowa Wild coaching staff is all sticking around and Bill Guerin said its just as important to develop coaches as it is players.

As Russo pointed out, for a team that was near the bottom in the AHL in nearly every statistical category including wins for the last few seasons...to see them not make a change doesn't make a damn bit of sense
 

Man do I feel for Scheifele tonight. His dad dies unexpectedly this morning and scores the first goal but then is in the penalty box when the Stars win it. I can’t imagine what he’s going through

Colorado Av's have their own inept streak as well. Going back to 2002 they have lost Seven straight Game 7 contests.

The Toronto Maple Leafs say, "Hey, wait for us!"

They matched the Avs with their Seventh straight Game 7 defeat.
 

Florida looked damn good last night beating the Canes 5-2. I had Canes in 7 but not to sure now after last nights performance

I had Canes in 7 as well. Going to stand by it but am less confident than I was 24 hours ago.

I see Dallas having their way with Edmonton but hope I am proven wrong.
