  1. Cough... It's been awhile but occasionally I check in and review here or there. Yes the old boards, as I joined sometime later when they were quite established, were pretty fun. There's too many things to draw from for great topics or conversations. Some noted a few though. Like when I was being sarcastic and posed to *TheOriginalBrownEyedBlond she should go into marketing (she already was.) She was amazing. Or when all those young newish members were chatting about dating and I created a "To Do" list with their names on it. All the hilarity about puck bunnies. And of course all the complaining I did about rotten refs! Or when I predicted this team was going nowhere under the leadership of Koivu, Parise and Suter. All the arguments it generated due to misguided love for their nads. Or the +35 some odd players the team busted their tail to acquire and put on lines with Koivu then they'd fade off into oblivion because they weren't the problem. All Yeo's yo-yo line changes: Scrambled eggs and handcuffing. Out of curiosity was there anyone I didn't argue with? I do miss going to opposing teams boards after they'd come here pretending to be cruel and I'd insult them with beautiful precision. Almost gives me a case of the sniffles. A tip of the iceberg.
  2. Yep, I peek in from time to time but not much until they got rid of Parise, Suter, Koivu and locked down on Evason & Guerin. ^ That and Leipold learning to stay the hell out of the way.
  3. It's a good move. From an inspirational and motivational view adding him brings a lot of cool confidence between the posts. It takes some focus off Talbot while bringing him some much needed stability. Fleury still had the plane behind him when he stopped for a short selfie vid saying he's here. Not sure if others agree but I thought that was pure class. Shows confidence, eagerness and how happy he was being pulled in here. Still effective in the net? Not like years past but he's a much needed element for right now.
  4. Boo! Koivu leaves and in less than a year the team starts turning heads. Who made that prediction 9 years ago?
  5. Likely Parise isn't getting a lot of love from the owners sitting on the bench with him after he offered to break his no trade clause.
  6. I'm glad all the 'promising talent' the Wild pretended to know how to develop found their way on other teams' rosters. Too bad half of them are head cases thinking they were the problem with the Wild. As I said 8-9 years ago now... The Wild get rid of anyone who shows any heart. The spark plugs, the pistons, the passionate players with a deep love for the game are history.
  7. Meanwhile, the Nashville Predators are still happy Craig Leipold sold the team. Psst, hey Mikko want to waive your no trade clause? Umm no. Psst, hey Zach want to waive your no trade clause? If there's an opportunity with the Islanders... ok. No Psst to Suter speaks volumes. Here's a guy worth about 8 mil/season when the Wild acquired him and the only reason he got more was because Zach gave up some of the cash that would have gone to him. Aaaannnd meanwhile... Spurgeon is still the teams best d-man with Suter being way over paid...And his acting is poor on camera when asked about Bruce getting fired... Little to no emotion but there's a twinkle in his eye with that wry smirk. Pitter-patter Let's get at 'er
  8. Right. Mmm Mikko, mmm... Mmm praise Jesus, mmm... And in every breath fawning all over his excellence they know he alone isn't worth noting his merits without bringing up his brother and none of his teammates. And people buy into it hook, line and sinker.
  9. Another article hints at locker room issues and within days the airwaves are flooded fawning over Mikko and how he's such a great player, a great captain... Stats are brought up in the same breath as how all those barely above board stats are all with the same team. Dreamy.
  10. The player only meeting... Why? They're all playing to their potential. They can't get better.
  11. Can they pull off 14 wins this season? God forbid they get the #1 draft choice and blow it on an AHL'er.
  12. Ah, I haven't even looked. lol
