I wrote up the game preview, we will not have a post-game article for this game. To be honest, we're not sure if we're going to continue with those as we've traditionally done for a variety of reasons. But we do plan on doing our normal game previews as we always have done. ANYWAYS... The Ducks looked pretty good against the Jets and thoroughly outworked them in just about every facet of the game on Wednesday. If the Wild go into this game thinking it will be a cakewalk I think they'll find themselves asking what went wrong. IMO, its important to earn points against teams you 'should' beat and this is one of those clubs we took advantage of last season when we were in a division together. Either way, enjoy and discuss... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynxrattle Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Sorry to hear there'll be no post-gamers, and happy to hear you'll still write previews. A Wild game is not the same without them. The Wild has changed so much now, that I really have no clue what to expect. We'll be a lot wiser in 10 games. The one thing I do know is that I'm really happy that the hockey season finally started. Let's have a good, fun season, lots of wow-me moments and positive surprises 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jimtown guy Posted October 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2021 Gotta brag a bit here fellas. My daughter is the first ever coach for the University of Jamestown Women’s hockey team. Started august 1st and has been recruiting since. 9 players signed so far. Then I was recently inducted into the North Dakota Amateur Hockey Association Hall of Fame. I guess when you coach for nearly 40 years they feel obligated to honor a guy. Very humbled to say the least 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
