Can we give to the Wallstedt a bigger tougher nut - Avalanche tonight? Just to see how good he is against that team, against MacKinnon, Macar, Rantanen....

Another goal for the team, which doesn't mean a lot - to finish the season with 40 wins and at least with 90 points. Ours 37 wins and 83 points don't look too good for the fans. Plus build a chemistry, chemistry and again chemistry in remaining 5 games. Can's believe that next season we will see only in October. Such an enormously long break is patiently waiting for us. We didn't have that for the last 10 years.

I feel like giving Wallstedt a chance would be good for him, and possibly his confidence, bit I don't know if he is ready for THAT kind of challenge, especially against a team that is near the top of the division/conference. 

Blatant no call on Svechnikov, should've gotten crosschecking

Sorry about multi post there

Sharks goal, seems like they waited till almost the end of the game to do it...

Flower had a record breaking home last night, having shutout 28 of 32 NHL franchises.

Good game by the Wild, defense was good, offense was iffy though. But either way 2 points in the books and the Wild got the win.

Anyone else almost have a heart attack there?

Again...he's on his game, he on a roll tonight.

Wow, Flower had his eyes on that one.

Didn't hear it, might have to listen at the end of this next powerplay.

And then later on, you'll see someone barely tug on a player....and get called.

That's the kind of inconsistency that drives players, coaches...and fans...crazy 

It's annoying to see how many no calls teams get, it infuriates the heck out of me. I get the refs are human, but some are just blatant no calls when a ref is just standing next to them and watching the situation go down.

Hextall sounds robotic, and very annoying.

Sorry for my inactivity, as I've been busy with personal things and keep forgetting to check the boards...lol. But i loved watching Kirill "the thrill" Kaprizov this season. I feel like if we sign him for the 8 yr $8 million AAV contract, it would do him well, cant wait to see what he brings in a full 82 game season. 

This article was written before the talbot signing

Yeah, I will try that next time for sure.

The Minnesota Wild have made some big trades so far in the offseason. One in particular I didn't like.

1st: Minnesota trades a 2021 Conditional 7th Round Pick to the Penguins in exchange for Nick Bjugstad.

2nd: Minnesota trades Eric Staal for Marcus Johansson

3rd: Minnesota trades Devan Dubnyk and a 2022 7th Round Pick for a 2022 5th Round Pick

4th: Minnesota Wild trade Luke Kunin and a 2020 3rd Round Pick for Nick Bonino, 2020 2nd round pick, and 2020 4th round pick

You think he's doing good until he signs 2 players for 13 yrs

You have to start at some point! 

I have a few other articles on that site, this one I think is one of my best.

The Minnesota Wild have had their share of good and bad over the last 20 seasons. The team went the furthest into the playoffs in the 2002-03 season when they went as far as the Western Conference Finals and got ultimately defeated by the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. They drafted the longest tenured captain in franchise history, also the longest tenured player in franchise history with Mikko Koivu in 2001.

Ok lets look at the first decade of the team's existence. They went to the playoffs 3 times with 1 ending up in the Conference Finals. The Wild went through 2 coaches (Jacques Lemaire and Todd Richards). The Wild drafted Marian Gaborik was drafted 3rd Overall in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft, also the Wild drafted Koivu 6th Overall in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft. Leipold also hired Chuck Fletcher as General Manager in 2009. Mikael Granlund (9th Round, 2010)

So...I've been thinking that we could pull Kahkonen up permanently. Any thoughts on this? He has done really  well when being pulled up before, just stating my opinion.

I'm just glad that hockey is back. Go Wild!

Yes, that's the hill right behind Handke school.  It has always been a destination sledding spot.  Its pretty damn steep, but the transition to a flat surface is pretty abrupt, kind of what you'd expect in a pit I guess.  

Sounds fun
