Kountry Klub atmosphere being addressed.  2 founding members still active.  We will see if this gets them motivated.  I wonder who will wear the "C" this year.  I kinda like Foligno for that.....

1 of these 3 will be available at #9-  Rossi, Holtz, Lundell.  I would pick them in that order, best of those 3.  Do you all think any of them could make the lineup right away, or will we need to wait?

So 14 of 15 so-called draft experts were wrong then last year.  Only 1 had Newhook ahead of Boldy and the average bewteen these guys was Boldy #9.1 to Newhook #13.4.   

I don't know what joy most of you find in constantly whining on this board.  They got rid of Riesbrough and then Fletcher, oh now it must be Leipold that's the problem, they get rid of Fenton, yep Leipold's guy.  Bring in Guerin, trade Zucker, fire Bruce and now Guerin is in question.   Mikko is he problem, he's too tough on the young guys.  Parise and Suter are the issue, they make too much.  Dubnyk sucks (totally agree - for many years).  

You know some, maybe even all are issues, some I would agree, others I would not.  But constantly whining can't be a fun life.  Let's look at the good news when we have it.  Let's cheer for the team and prospects when they deserve it.  Let's have a little fun with the Wild. 

One thing that I think is a posiitve right now is the prospect pool.  No #1 Center yet.  No sure fire goalie yet.  But hey, lot's of good years being had by some of our picks from the last few years.  Plus you have an AHL team that is playing pretty darn good right now.  Enjoy what you have.

Some good news, Young Mr. Boldy has 10 points in his last 5 games.  I wish I knew what the line pairings were in College and Minor hockey.  Does anyone have a resource for that kind of thing?

Here are the numbers.  The last 5 games, he's been better, statistically.  Only guessing and hoping, but maybe he is asserting himself a little more.  IT appeared, by the boxscores, that he is in on more of the overall goals in that time.  Let's hope it works out.

(shrugs)  Not really, he's been shooting the puck now as he was when he was playing center.  But I take it you didn't read the article...since you continue with the rationalization.  

You're correct, I only browsed your article.  I will now read more diligently.  Still, I think he will be fine.

5 points in the last 5 games, seems to be shooting the puck a little more.  It is probably too early to sound any alarms.  He is on a good team and will be well seasoned.  Let's not read too much into the slow start he had.
