bbgarnett Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Just amazing to have a player that everyone drools over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one really drooled over Bill Goldsworth, Bobby Smith, Neal Broten, Modano, and even Gaborik. All really good players - some even great - this kid is just different. He could be Top 3 in the league with help (a Top C). I cannot wait until he is settled, has support, and hits his peak. It will be fun to watch and long overdue. Those lifetime $hitty contracts to 11 and 20 should be replicated for this kid. LOCK him up forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved the Goldy Shuffle as I of course had to do it myself when I scored. I’d say Modano was up there too 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like winning the Olympic gold. An OT game winner in your first NHL game, winners in Jrs regularly. THAT is the difference - a gut that can carry a team to the Cup and WIN it for you with something spectacular. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmptyShelf Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 When is the last time we took game 1 versus a top team AWAY!?! This is a different Wild team. The dick and pansy factor of the Country Club may finally be behind us. Man Baby in the stands and $hitvu in retirement is 2/3 of the way to a new future expectation in the playoffs - WINNING 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
