  1. I think he took your advice to get 6 winning games for Fleury as soon as possible.
  2. I think is going to be a game of the year tonight. It seems my prediction is wrong, because Shesterkin is in net. Probably, we will place not more than 2 goals in his net. I am listening a game on a radio.
  3. Newly acquired Bogosian will wear #24 same as it was for Matt Dumba. We will see his play for our team soon. Not sure if it was a good trade of Addison for Raska (AHLer)and 5th round pick in year 2026. Time will show. In 12 played games Addison had not bad ,but nice 5 assists, pretty young promising player. But I had feelings about his trade since last season. Evason didn't like him. Yes he made some mistakes, but who does not have it. Any player has some pluses and minuses in their play. And what was difficult for us to keep for a couple seasons a pretty good sized warrior and not very expensive defenseman Kulikov, who is playing now for Panthers? With our team in 80 played games of 2021-2022 season Kulikov had 24 points (7 goals;17 assists; +/- +23). He was drafted by Panthers in 2009 in round 1; #14 overall. He developed a nice friendship with Kaprizov in that 2021-2022 season, but Evason probably didn't like him either. And that regular season was the best overall in a Wild history in points; wins as well as for many our players in their stats careers(goals and assists), including Kaprizov, Zuccarello, Hartman; Foligno and for EEK in goals. I would say it was a historical season from that point for the Wild team. Here is an article regarding Bogosian: https://www.nhl.com/wild/news/bogosian-to-wear-twenty-four-110923
  4. I would like also for him 9 more games to reach 1000 games in his career. Interesting, how many NHL goalies reached that mark in their careers? Probably, not so many. Maybe singles.
  5. Still I would like that we will extend our streak to more wins than 2 this season. Maybe we can repeat same scenario against Rangers as we did before on last Saturday including goalies too?
  6. Still I think Rangers is a hot team now. I will be happy for 1 point out of this game on their ice. Predicting our loss with a score 3:4 in OT (or SO).
  7. Interesting fact, 9 more games for Fleury to get 1000 played NHL games; and 3 more wins for him to get 550 wins in his career. His GAA in his NHL career is 2.58, and for this season so far is 2.69. His birthday will be by the end of this month (he was born November,28; 1984). Draft: 2003 by Penguins; 1st overall;1st round; 1st pick. It seems this season 2023-2024 will be his 20th season in NHL. And, probably, he will get lots of flowers for his birthday.
  8. Completely agree. Especially, defense was not the best in front of him as well as for Fleury too.
  9. Bbgarnett, It seems you are the winner. Your score was the most closest one in our win. Interesting, no one predicted that we are going to lose this game.
  10. But we never had 96 shot attempts during the game in our history . That commentators on a radio said during my driving home. You are right. Gus can't be afraid to face the Rangers again, especially for the money which he is making in NHL.
  11. The game against Dallas(1st team in our Division so far) will come pretty soon (on Sunday, November 12) on our home ice at 5 p.m. Not an easy as well as very busy week will be for us - Islanders (Tuesday); Rangers (Thursday); Sabres (Friday); Stars (Sunday). And then, from my understanding, we are going to fly to Sweden for a couple of morning games for us against of Senators (Saturday November 18; at 10 a.m.) and Maple Leafs (Sunday November 19; at 7 a.m. ) because of the difference of the time there.
  12. Not sure if he wants to start next one, but better to do him for better. The last game against Rangers was a historical game for the Wild. I found out that we had a historical record in our history for the 1st time we made 96 shot attempts on opposite net in one game and we were able to win that one when we were losing 0:3 at the beginning. Can we repeat our win against Rangers on their home ice? We will see that on Thursday.
  13. WILD WINNNNN!!!!! Superb effort for the Wild team to win this one!!!
  14. Hopefully will be effective next year. Such a slow movement towards that progress to keep permanently daylight-saving time, especially in Nothern states including Minnesota. Yes. No sense at all to have that switch. That is the most stupid part in our life during at least last 30 years, which is affecting our health by breaking human's biological clock 2 times a year. I am still at work. Will start driving soon home. Probably I will miss a period and a half. But I will be listening to radio during my driving. Hope for our win.
  15. Let's start predicting scores for our team. For this one I will predict our win 5:4 OT (or SO), because it seems we like the #4 or #5 this season the most. We placed already 40 goals in 11 games.
  16. In my opinion, as soon as twitter became an X, then Michael Russo and Joe Smith became invisible for me too. They both were very valuable part of the team news. Now we barely have any info what is going on in the Wild team and around the Wild team.
  17. Here is today article from Reuters about a mandatory ice hockey neck guards in UK: https://www.reuters.com/sports/uk-coroner-calls-mandatory-ice-hockey-neck-guards-after-death-2023-11-07/
  18. More updates for our other prospects which are playing in KHL: Firstov (round 2; #42 overall) has 17 points (8 goals; 9 assists) in 27 played games; Yurov (round 1; #24 overall) has 13 points (6 goals;7 assists) in 23 played games.
