yeah seems like Florida is good for getting lots of SOG early in games saw it a ton last year.

Glad Gusty is in net instead of Fleury 

Gusty getting peppered early

100 percent agree on all points, not to mention this hit was completely unnecessary and avoidable.

Yep. Puck was gone so this was unnecessary. 2 games max since he’s never been disciplined before 

That was the worse beating I’ve seen UND put on the Bison. 10-0 thrashing and it could have been worse. Good luck this season

I'm surprised no one brought up the Zuccarello extension or the Foligno extension...

I wish Foligno’s was for just 2 years too. He had a down year last year and he’s not getting any younger. Obviously he plays a very physical game and those last couple years could be tough. Hopefully he proves me wrong

Episode #22: Something To Prove

 

In this episode, @MNSOTA and Kalisha and I discuss which players have the most to prove this season, we also talk about Calen Addison's new deal and what will be expected of him moving forward as well as answering listener questions too!  Check it out!  If you would like to participate you can ask a question here or Tweet / Post at us on X and we'll answer.  

No doubt Rossi has the most to prove this season. It’s a no brainer. I think Gusty is the real deal. Be shocked if he doesn’t have a great season. I’m so much more calm

when he’s in the net compared to the Flower. And of course if Addison doesn’t improve his defensive play he will be sent down or traded

Wild won 4-3.  Sammy Walker with 2 goals and a helper.  Wallstedt had 40 saves.  Daemon Hunt was close lined by a Tanner Kero hit.  

 

Alex Goligoski looked slow and old...and tired.  Almost every time he and Simon Johansson were out there the Avs went on the attack and peppered Wallstedt with shots.  

 

Haight, Heidt and Walker was a pretty good line and continued the same chemistry they had at the prospect tournament last week.  Khaira's big but he's pretty slow.  

 

Addison took a foolish retaliatory penalty in the 3rd, but luckily it didn't cost the team on the scoreboard.  

Thanks for the recap

I’d pass on Kharia. Who needs the back problems with a so so player. Kessel will be too expensive. 

They signed him

Episode #20: Hail to the Chief

 

In this episode, @MNSOTA and I are joined by Justin Caesar as we discuss the promotion of Wild GM Bill Guerin to President of Hockey Operations.  We also discuss Gustavsson's new deal and discuss what to do about the large class of Wild UFA's next season.  @Jimtown guy, you got a mention on the show.  Check it out!  

Thanks for the mention. As always I enjoyed the podcast

Pretty close to what most of us were saying.  3 years is a bit longer than I was expecting, but it also gives Jesper Wallstedt time to season both in the minors and as an NHL backup before he's given that chance to assume the #1 role.  

 

Also buys the team some time to draft and develop Wallstedt's backup too if they choose to go that route.

I think it’s a good deal for both sides
