I dont think Hawg joined, or even would? I guess he would "have to" to try to keep last years going, although he has email contact with the players, so a board isnt really needed. **And its back to the point where most of the players are personal friends, whove been playing Fantasy hockey for a decade or more with a few board members mixed in. Ill run it by him, see what he says. I want to continue, A_E wanted to last year but got snuffed for lack of making lineups (even though she did better than me her last year, she got axed for not playing - Ironic huh) PS- A_E has done better than me most every year - maybe thats why Hawg ousted her Haha~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great guy with a lot on his plate. - Farts in an elevator... Tolerable. If you're chewing gum or something and grit your teeth convincing yourself "you'll live" everything will be just fine. In a car, when a woman cuts loose a silent one and doesn't say anything. My God, I just about gag. Opening the windows late just means it's going to get caught in my hair or pores for Christ sake and minutes will go by as I hope my damn eyes will stop watering. Farts when meds or something is causing them. Get used to it, welcome to old age. - Drove by Reid's last Friday night 3-4 times. I'm hardly ever in St. Paul. Partly grew up around there though off Hodgson. Lived off East 7th for a bit in my 20's... Anyway, the girl toy made a cake for a co-worker and while she ran it in to Patrick McGovern's Pub I kept going around a few blocks unable to find parking and not willing to look too hard. We weren't planning on lingering around. Maybe one of you guys know of it. It was a two tier Groom's party cake... For a Wild fan. It was fancied up with the Wild trees, #8 and a pair of skates on top. - Confrontational... These guys are too rich for your blood. They have character, will, determination, pride and enjoy just about everything hockey brings them in whatever form. For them it's not just an interest level it's a pure enjoyment level. Kind of like when you blow your nose instead of just eating the boogers and licking your fingers. Maybe you can relate to that. Would I ever meet these guys? Sure. It's very hard though as I'm over an hour away from the Excel (to say the least) but I've made it there a couple times over the past couple years and so far dragging the girl toy along on journey's like that, well let's just say they've been her company’s corporate suites I've been a guest in... And if I didn't have to drag a woman along with me (wait, I guess that could be construed as the other way around)... If the girl toy didn't drag her boy toy to the games I'd have freedom to wander around more and act like a normal citizen as opposed to a stuffy goodie two shoes. Hanging around with some chicks at sporting events is sometimes worse than being constipated... If you know what I mean. It would be like hanging around confrontational for eight to ten minutes. Not very joyful, ya know? Otherwise I'd be there a ton more.

It was more lame when they'd gang up on someone, trash them however they tried (most the time it backfired) then rail on others to stick to hockey.

I remember all of the 'you won't chase me away' bravado...when I knew it wouldn't matter. They were hoping to lead a revolution...but no one revolted so they left on their own. No need to chase anyone away when I know you'll get annoyed the audience doesn't care about the fact you feel offended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rottenrefs Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 @MNSOTA very nice article MN! There were so many good'ole stories over the years it's hard to remember them all. Then when the board was 'cleaned' that lost a lot of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreaseAndAssist Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 I miss Wukwinn's videos he used to post every so many months. I think he did some of these as part of a class he had in HS at Bloomington Jefferson. I used to watch them to get myself pumped up for the season. Back when I still believed in this team... A few other memories...how about the mega thread where myself, Fargo and many other fans called out the organization for being cheap? That was at the end of the Naegele era, and we were tired of seeing a team sellout literally every single game but still field a roster that was bottom 4 or bottom 2 in payroll in the league. I remember Souhan and Reusse even wrote about how the fan angst was reaching record levels as they were inundated with angry current and former season ticket holders. So finally the team spent some $$$, but we pointed out how the Wild could've signed a lot of these players out of the lockout but instead had the infamous 'evaluation year' and we ended up trading picks / players for the same guys we could've simply added as free agents.

This was with a different ownership group entirely. Also, if you had been on the boards there were mixed feelings about the Parise / Suter deals from the start. It was exciting at first to be the team that made the biggest offseason splash but that feeling wore off pretty quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed when we first signed Suter and Parise I was just in shock and very excited. I mean it was like wow a team from Minnesota actually spent money and like a lot of money so yeah of course I was pumped. But like you said it quickly wore off or at least for me Suter wore off rather quickly and I grew tired of laziness rather quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like you said it quickly wore off or at least for me Suter wore off rather quickly and I grew tired of laziness rather quickly. Right from the start with the big press conference I kind of got the vibe this was a big PR stunt, an attempt to say that this was an organization serious about winning. Parise and Suter brought up the 'strong prospect pool' being a reason to sign and I almost barfed. The funny thing is, as the team continued to stall out in the 1st round of the playoffs season after season suddenly someone tried to bring up that Suter and Parise signed on because of Mikko Koivu and I wanted to hurl again. They have used this deal to try to justify just about anything this team has done or has not done. Parise and Suter signed here because they got a market that won't put much pressure on them to deliver much of anything substantial, they get a hockey market for their kids / families to grow up with and they're set for the rest of their NHL career, results on the ice be damned.

Way too many to list. Predicting the Dan Frische trade and the Wild taking Brad Brown off waivers. Being called a racist for criticizing Park's lack of production and that he would be gone. Posting about the possibility of signing Daigle and whetehr it made sense or not. Taking lots of hate for posting that big butt Bruno had turned into a PP specialist and he was gone, etc, etc, etc. Mocking that one rent a cop troll. I enjoy seeing nicknames I believe I coined is always fun. Dumpster Doug, sufferin' Sekeras, the Wrong Robitaille. Of course going to the WCF. But the joy of making it too the WCFs ruined by losing to POS dirty ducks, who were the ultimate clutch and grab interference plus veing dirty and big... And their Michelin man goalie who was a huge reason people went after the size of goalie equipment. The trade for Demitra. Laughing at the clown drunk writer for Colorado, Adrian Dater. Isn't he Russo's bud. Now I'll go back and read this thread... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fart in an elevator... I just found this thread and have been laughing my azz off! Thanks everyone for posting in it, some great memories for me. Funny thing is - how similar 2013 actually was to 2018 in my life. Just fished Lake of the Woods for a day on MN Deer Opener. No really big fish, I had a couple 22", but lots of fish.

Once upon a time before all the frilly pansies left the forum and went to HF boards. I almost miss all the huge negative ratings. I think the time KC and others were being accused of killing the Wild boards was about five years before you joined. Could be wrong, of course. But that's damn rare.
