The Wild should be determined, but it should be a tough game against a Chicago team who also played last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, even if Chicago were to retain the full 50%, how in the heck do the Wild squeeze in 5.25M in their cap situation!? Some sorcery (or maybe shenanigans) would need to take place for that to happen....any high priced player on the Wild that can go on LTIR till next season?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Looks like Minnesota will be facing their old buddy Alex Stalock in goal for the Hawks. If any of the skaters remember ANYTHING about Stalock from seeing him in practice, NOW is the time to make use of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is 6M to be freed up but we'll need that for our young guys soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries, I am with you! Would prefer to invest money in futures rather than hope for someone like Toews to still have enough in the tank to warrant his cost and roster spot. I actually like Toews even in his eroded condition, as I think he would make a super elite, scoring third line center, but Minnesota simply can't afford that kind of money for a third liner, especially when they have so many other holes in the lineup they need to either fill or build up.

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Intentional or not, that was a nice mult-player screen put on MAF. He had no freakin clue where that puck was. Thankfully, Boldy abuses Stalock to even things up again! WTG, Matt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Hah! Stalock scrambling all over the place hoping the puck doesn't get by him. LOVE seeing that now that he is wearing another sweater, as I certainly DIDN'T when he played for the Wild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could probably play until he’s 50 I will forever remember Patrick Kane for his game winner against Minnesota, in OT, at the X, during the 2014 playoffs that eliminated the Wild. Why? I was with my husband in one of the luxury suites to take a big bite out of a cheeseburger before he put that past the Minnesota goalie that night 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris is just a big man who built up quite a bit of speed and the Un-Johnny was still far enough away from the boards with the puck.....except Boris hit him so hard, he ended up there. Gaudreau could have been hit at center ice and ended up on the boards with the force of THAT hit....my word... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
