lynxrattle Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 NYI has had problems scoring, so maybe we should wish for a high-scoring, open game. Wild win 4 - 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandron Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Their both goalies have superb stats in GAA. I will predict Wild win with a score 3:2 in regulation or OT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomdog Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Per NHL game center Foligno is out with an undisclosed injury.. Duhaime moved up to his spot and Kyle Rau brought up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClusterChuck Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Lights are set ... Hopefully the Wild are still in their New York Groove. Was going to say 4-2 but I'll go Wild win 5-2 with an ENG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClusterChuck Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I'll always give Parise credit for playing his heart out with us but when we got him, He was a season or two past the pinnacle of his career. The slope got very steep really quick. His 'Sell By' date was probably 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I imagine it must be really hard to give it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimTown and I can probably skate better than Parise - and we are on the WRONG side of 50, which isn't saying that we are world beaters at our age (sorry JT), but it DOES say this 'ice-cracker' needs to hand up the skates (and the gargantuan EGO). I don't have fond memories of him doing much except cashing checks and losing in the playoffs..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
