I hope but too I think he's projected as a third line or 2nd line at best so don't expect Kaprizov 2.0

I like a lot the phrase of commentators at our radio show 100.3 FM. They said , that Predators won 6 in a row and just refused to lose any games. Can we refuse to lose any games like Predators are doing now?

well if he's hockey data base size @ 5'9  too small for central  at 5'11 like bally stats  then maybe 🤨

Guerin said the Khusnutdinov will be a center forward, but didn't mentioned the line where he is going to place him.

Read one of the most ridicuously written story (bait) in Microsoft Edge this morning by some Hockey site called 'Clutchsports'.
Started with outdated Fleury news on whether the Wild would trade him by deadline. (Already MAF has said his intentions)
Then it got better... "The Wild currently sitting in 3rd in the Central with 102 pts"...🧐 🤪
And then ..."Will be looking to break a 2 game losing streak after losses in Seattle and Carolina" 
Um, We beat the Kracken there chief.

I need to buy tomorrow a new fishing license, because expired today the current one. 😎

 

1:2 after the 1st intermission. We made 7 shots into the Saros net, and they placed 13 shots into the Gustavsson's net during that time(practically twice more). Not acceptable at such an important huge game for us.
