Prosser is the only other one that leaps to mind as someone willing to clear the front. It drives me crazy when Suter, for all his talent and size, basically goes "Hiya buddy, what's up? Ya setting a screen? Mind if I join ya? Lemme know if I get too close." BTW, good evening, fans. Looking forward to a 6-5 thriller tonight.

rottenrefs Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 @TropicalFruitGirl26 I took a ton of heat saying Harding was a better goalie than Backstrom. That Backstrom was only a decent goalie if all 5 players in front of him played defense... Like they did under Lemaire's regime. The minute they changed from a defense oriented team to opening up their offense Backstom's numbers crashed and Harding got more chances. Thank goodness. And yes, it's too bad he had health issues because he had a fire in him most all these current Wild players need to see more of and likely they never will.

I was about to chime in myself. Poor Marcus can’t catch a break with people knowing his name. On a side note Nick Foligno does still play for the Bluejackets and is probably a better player than Marcus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMahon 6 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Sweet. Pucks going on net, bodies crashing in front sniffing for loose change, and cages getting rattled. Gawd, I love that stuff. Keep it going, guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNSOTA Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 There are times I get Foligno and Ferrigno confused in my head. And then I think of The Incredible Hulk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rottenrefs Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Looks like Read has a pair of balls not being afraid to cross the blue line with the puck or going in on net. We need more of that! Psst... When will he be send back down like a bad habit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, guys, look at this as well.... MARKUS Granlund, I am sure, gets called MIKAEL all the time in Vancouver. We have the better Granlund, just like Columbus has the better Foligno..statistically anyways. Thing is, if people think "Granlund", Mikael comes to mind first.... just like Nick Foligno comes to mind first when I hear that last name (wasn't the first time I called Marcus "Nick" I'm afraid..)

I liked Nick Backstrom, even though I knew he, even at his best, was a B+ goalie.... Liked having him manning the nets, but ultimately, always felt the Wild needed a bit higher caliber guy back there to make deep playoff runs. Whether Harding was going to be that guy or not, we will never know, but judging by the attitude and work Harding put in...and some real spectacular plays on many nights, I believed Minnesota very well could have had that Grade A guy. Bad health deprived him of a potentially fantastic career, and for fans, a guy who could have possibly been in Vezina conversations himself for a few years.
