    Parise manning 4th line, wow.

    I've been little disappointed with the number of starts they've given Kahkonen lately, but on the other hand, I guess this is what they call "good work load management".

    Hopefully the Wild show more effort but IMO the reality is, the level of talent is very different with these teams offensively. In order to win the Wild have to play their A game and the Avs have to show up little ill-prepared / not motivated.

    Stick a fork in Parise, he's done. Funny, the Avs pay Rantanen $9,2 M a season. 34 points in 28 games. The Wild pay Parise $7,5 M a season. 12 points in 27 games. Buy him out already.

    Strictly? You can look it from this angle too: when a Wild player is in the box, you don't get to see that stinking horrible PP conducted by Suter. A true blessing in the sky!

    Cheers for a good write up!
  7. Hockey-78
    Or he'll be the first Kahkonen...?

    Without a doubt you were the only one who made it... Seriously, Koivu's departure was a big factor but now for a long, long time the Wild's goalie department is also way above average. Granny's trade for Fiala seems to have worked out pretty well too. Did you also predict KK would be such a stud?

    I was thinking he couldn't catch anyone of them. Unless he'd completely and purposely try to forget the puck and just target people on the ice.
  10. Hockey-78
    I don't think he could with this version of NHL.
  11. Hockey-78
    Woah, Wild's PP sucks wheat. For 10 years and counting...
  12. Hockey-78
    Oh right... Yeah, got off a good shot. Raanta's save was spectacular.
  13. Hockey-78
    City in France?
  14. Hockey-78
    How's that a penalty...
  15. Hockey-78
    LOL. Anyone else love it when Lapanta says "Suter SHOOTS" with a high pitch, like the shot would've had much power in it.
  16. Hockey-78
    Naturally limp wrister starting on the PP...
  17. Hockey-78
    Raanta >> Talbot

    Goddamn, Suter looks slow in every situation! Is he a virgin, you know, saving himself for the "precious moment"? #maddening

    Soucy has a big body but I don't think he has the right mindset.
  20. Hockey-78
    There probably hasn't been a Wild rookie goalie able to pull off that kind of stretch of games. But in all honesty, this is probably one of the best defenses the Wild has had. Ever. Easy to play behind them, I think.
  21. Hockey-78
    Not a season without goalie controversy I tell you! Maybe Dubnyk's two first seasons were an exception but other than those it's been fairly confusing in the Wild goalie department for the past decade.
  22. Hockey-78
    No doubt about it. Plus although I don't agree with every move BG has made, he seems like an improvement over Fletcher and a big improvement over Fenton. I'd say the odds are 40/60 they can screw up Kahkonen's development of being a TOP10 netminder in this league.
  23. Hockey-78
    I guess... but to be fair, Wild's center pool looks (offensively) pretty thin. Johansson out and in the Tweet I posted on the VGK GTD Bjugstad says "he has to play within the skill set he has". Doesn't sound overly positive.
  24. Hockey-78
    Evason really creative when it comes to giving nick names: Hartman is Hartsy and Rask is, well of course, Rasky. https://twitter.com/mnwild/status/1369713686156357640?s=20

    Kahkonen in net.
