And,  Suter with another Ole'  This guy just needs to sit.  It is now at the point of embarrassment.  Sorry to beat this nag bloody, but I can barely watch him wave his hanky as guys skate right past him.

Bingo. I've been ripping on Suter's laziness since the days of (name redacted) hockey boards, and people wondered what I had against him. Nice to see that people have wised up to him.

All that talent and size, but zero work ethic. Makes me wonder how he managed to have kids without marrying pregnant women..

Old Brad 'kick ass offense' Childress?  What a jag-off that guy was.  All bluster with no substance, and he looked like an accountant coaching pro football players (just a tool and a massive overpay)

The way the Wild PP has been going, even Bob Schnelker would be an upgrade for drawing up Xs and Os.

I like what what Wild are doing so far in the 3rd.. throwing pucks at the net with no "defensive shell" stuff yet.

Trade the PP for 3 Offensive zone face off's in the 2 minutes.

 

Are you suggesting that we re-sign Koivu to a 5 year NTC?

It's the same old design and doesn't match our new players.

 

Yep.. it's the proverbial square peg into round hole design. Brad Childress could draw up a better PP than ours.

We're sure fun to watch at even strength, though.

It looks like the Wild have solved their 2nd period blues. Would love to see them keep the foot on the gas pedal in the 3rd. Kick 'em when they're down, Wild!

Double boo-yah, baby!!

Bonino and Foligno!!

YAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!

Foligno, baby! Now we're talking!!

YAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!

Greenway, baby!!

Sheesh.. if that's "hooking" Suter would lead the league in PIM.

YAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!

каприсов стреляет он забивает!!

This is only a test post. Had this been a real post, Kaprisov would've scored at the 8:17 mark of the 2nd period.

Smoke signals and telegraphs both have another benefit that's not widely advertised: tech support folks speak the same language as their users. And no Philly accents to worry about, either.

I'll tease with the fact that I have 2 bleu (Shakey Walton and Dave Keon) and 1 Red (Mike Antonovich) Fighting Saints sweaters,

Ahhh, good old Shakey. I was there when he got the hatty at the WHA All Star game. I was 8 at the time, and kept asking dad "St. Paul is on the east side of the Mississippi: why are all the dummies at the Civic Center cheering for the West?"

That sniffling noise in the background is either my wallet feeling an allergy coming, or my golf bag finding out that it might not see new clubs for yet another season.

I have one Wild sweater with no name or number on it. It will remain that way until someone on the team gets some nads AND is given the proper chance to show the team and everyone else across the country that this team is functioning properly. 

Same here. Got my Wild sweater one year after the "inaugural season" patch. No name or number on it yet (tho I was sorely tempted to put Skoula and minus-41 on it at one time..)

Also have a North Stars sweater and other items signed by former players from past Alumni Association golf outings, and a handful of late 80s / early 90s vintage jerseys that no longer fit due to increasing "musculature" of my physique..

It'll be interesting to see what Antti posts for unloading: my wallet develops a mysterious allergy to cash when confronted with vintage North Stars and Saints stuff.

The sad part is no one is willing to stand in front of the goalie to either deflect it or take away the goalies vision.  They wouldn't want to 'steal' a goal from Suter.  

B-b-b-b-but... look at all the assists Suter gets. Are you and Rotty off your rockers, or just blind haters? Dontcha know that you should be worshiping the silk on his jock strap?

Is everyone on track with what 'tweak' means yet? 

Yep.. it's our ticket to the Stanley Cup starting 2025/26.  Now.. what would possess a Wild fan to pick that season as the light at the end of the tunnel?

Looking at a couple of boat anchors cap hits had nothing to do with it.  Honest.

then ANOTHER one which closed down its messaging

Same here. CBS Sports had a good forum that I joined in 2007 as Warped Mind, but after a few years they decided that having fans actually talk about sports online wasn't their cup of tea.

But I ran into some cool Flyers fans there, and had some fun on one of their boards for a while. It was eye-opening to learn that there was actually such a thing as "cool Philly sports fans"   Wish I'd remembered their screen names to see if any of 'em are here now. 

BTW, I'm ecstatic that the Wild extended Koivu; it was richly deserved.

And to our mods here......just know that we occasionally have knock down, drag down fights, but after a while, things settle down and things are back to normal.

Yea, as was already mentioned, we are laid back.

Heated arguments are cool, so long as no one is being targeted personally or abused in any way.

Works for me. Name Redacted had its share of trash talking, but for the most part it was pretty civilized. Even when the gloves came off, the punches typically stayed above the belt and inside the ring.

Once in a while we'd get a prize cementhead; if the admins here are able to nip that in the bud, you'll have lots of happy hockey fans on your hands.

Question: When a ref drops the puck which side is up?

That depends. Do you mean before or after Koivu gets tossed from the circle?

Thanks, pilldoc and hf101. Brother's in town with his little muchkins right now, but I'll browse around here and check out some more posts when peace and quiet returns..

Nice to see some familiar names here. Chalk up another soon to be former WMB member here.
