ClusterChuck Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 The Wild need to make it a team goal to pass VGK for 2nd. Something to focus on and not get complacent with 3rd and 'Just getting in.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the 4th line will continue to play that way including playoffs. Commentators even said that the 4th line it does not look like as a 4th line but like the top one in their production. Just dreaming that hopefully we will pass the 1st round this playoffs season if all our 4 lines will be productive. For many years our weakest part during playoffs were very low production. I think also, this specific season we have much more nicer goals in comparison we had before in previous seasons. Kaprizov reached Gaborik's record in points during a rookie season and he needs one more goal to reach him in goals in that season. Nice also was to see interviews after the game for our 3 youngsters - Sturm; Kahkonen and EEK. Nice goals for both forwards tonight and a pretty good goaltending ( Kaapo was able to stop 26 out of 28 shots). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynxrattle Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 The team played very solid defense. Kähkönen had to face only maybe three to four shots from obvious defensive lapses. Not very promising that two of them went in, but much better anyways. We'll probably see how he plays in the next back to back. I like our lines from a confusing the opponent's coach point of view. From the results of the last few games, the opponent should put his best defensemen against Sturm, Bonino and Parise Who should they try to cover? The line with Kaprizov? The line with Fiala? The line that's scored more recently? If only we had a 1C, we'd be really hard to handle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God forbid MNSOTA cannot make it post-bender, we will be down to 'the three legs of the tri-pod' only.... This place probably cleared out when word got out that we're a bunch of old fogies with AARP cards. Tho being north of 50 and a card carrying member myself, it's nice to know that I'm not the oldest fart on this board. Another fun win by the Wild last night: caught the last two periods at the local watering hole. It's nice to see the good guys banking points against the likes of the Sharks and the Yotes: good teams are supposed to put away teams in their rear view mirror. And dare I say it? The Wild are looking like a pretty darn good team these days. Kaprisov has long term superstar written all over him. The way I see it, we're two boat anchors away from being a legit Cup contender. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that #97 has proven that he can cycle the puck all by himself, it's only a matter of time before his English gets good enough to chew out any imbeciles who insist on staying magnetically attached to the boards the entire shift.

lynxrattle Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Давайте идти дикий Let's go Wild? The things you learn here. From boobery to swinging and Russian chanting. Whatever it takes to get the Cup. We elderly people don't have the time to wait for it forever. I think the youngsters of today don't appreciate the possibility of having a dialogue. They follow Twitter and whatnot, where it is opinion followed by like or a dislike, or Youtube or TikTok where it is just a monologue by someone. No chance to have a discussion or an argument. I miss the days of the old Wild forum, when there was a lot of people, people who probably are by now spending their last days in some home for elderly people, getting strangely agitated when they hear the Wild score on KFAN, but not remembering why. It is what it is. If one wants to have a discussion nowadays, one needs to find a reception for that: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandron Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Nice, that we have this forum to make some discussions even among elderly people as well as the young one too. Better to bring our opinions and our emotions here regarding our team than to carry them inside the body till the rest of our life and to feel extremely alone. Actually, the phrase Let's go Wild translated on Russian language as Let's go crazy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After reading a nice thread " Marleau makes history tonight" by Brewin Flames I think it was a huge honor to handshake our team's players with Marleau, because during that game last Saturday he was able to reach NHL record which hold before by Gordie Howe on 1767 games played during a regular season.

It happens once(not very often) in a lifetime. It is like for me was to handshake and to talk with 2 pioneers in a cardiac surgery during my life. One of them was Dr.C.Walton Lillihei who performed 1st successful operation in the world on an opened heart by using a cross-circulation and a second was Dr. Richard Dewall who created a 1st portable bubble oxygenator using at the heart-lung machine during an opened heart surgery. Sadly, Wikipedia has a minimal info regarding 2 famous world known cardiac surgeons who were born and worked in Minnesota and even did not place any pictures of Lillihei and only one of Dewall picture on their links. Here are the Wikipedia short links to know more about 2 famous Minnesotans, of course, who is interesting to read it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._Walton_Lillehei https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_DeWall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
