Confrontational

^^ The article after that one - on Dumba - left me a little bewildered at how well Dumba did this year...

Adding to that - the number of games that went to OT as well...

Was going to post this a while back - but figured people would think I was just piling on Dumba... Not sure if they keep these stats - but noticed it in the regular season and very much in the playoffs every game - and that was the number of turnovers from Dumba on the breakout - as he mostly tried to just bang it up the boards. In one of the PO games I counted 5 - each leading to obviously a turnover in our zone - and the Blues regrouping for an attack... I don't recall him doing that much in past years or I would have noticed - but this year - it happened a lot - and watching it happen eac

Spurgeon @ $7.6m/yr - holy buckets... And for another 5+ years...

This is going to be a tough one...

Has the Wild set a record for # of OTs or wins by 1 goal...? Every time I catch their score - seems like they went to OT - and every other time seems like they win by one point...

Whoa - Montreal has as many loses as Wild wins... My how they have fallen from the stanley cup final last year...

Matt Dumba – Left Tuesday's game against Nashville with what looked like a shoulder injury. After the game, coach Dean Evason said the injury doesn't look good, which suggests that Dumba could be out for a while.

I thought Pitt looked gassed tonight - thought for sure in the 3rd the Wild would run them over... Nice to see the thank you to Zucker - although when he got hurt I heard the announcer say this was his first game in like 3 months or something... Exciting game - and some tough teams ahead - not to mention a few back-to-back and everything else pretty much every other day - lets see if they can stay healthy...

Well, you got me watching a few more Wild games now days... Ugh - the years I was tormented yet still watched most games down here in TX - like 12 years until Vegas took Tuch and Haula... My parents have not watched the Wild in many many years - they moved back to MN a few years back - dad on a call last weekend: "You see this #44 - man, I like this guy." Needless to say - he order Center Ice because of it... So, putting together a competitive team has its benefits ($)... Can't help but wonder what Parise or Sutter think when they catch highlights of the team they were so integ

I think Vegas had 9 players out last night - and I'm talking their top players - geeesh (hey, I know, lets put two D guys together, one with 6 NHL games and one having his first game - that should work well)... Their GM regarding trade dedline: "we didn't make any major moves - our best move is to just get healthy and stay healthy." Every time I watch them - I'm like, "ok, so who's this person?" Anyways, fun game guys - and #44 looks like he's going to add some value to the Wild...

Good luck with Fluery - hopefully better chemistry with MN than Chicago... I was kind of hoping Vegas got him back - but no dice... Good luck tonight...

Had to spend time explaining to a non-hockey fan last night why the Wild pulled their goalie with so much time on the clock... Almost paid off...

Idiot for $500 Alex...

To believe the Canadiens have fallen this far this year - it's kind of shocking... Don't know much about them - what was the big change that happened to them this year...? They're in last place of all 32 teams - jeeeezus...
