This isn't quite the same high-powered attack Vegas was a season ago, but now they use their speed and hustle to shut teams down and they're pretty decent at it. Both clubs have just 2 games left in their schedule (counting this one) before they begin their All Star break. With the battle for playoff spots so tight, that makes these games important for momentum and perhaps decision making in regards to be a buyer or a seller at the trade deadline. Enjoy and discuss!

Megawild Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Finally home and get a chance to watch a game live. It doesn't sound like I missed too much and I wasn't that impressed with seeing Nino go for what we got in return. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megawild Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I was struggling before the season started to have any enthusiasm or positivity for the club this year. Nothing to the halfway point has been able to sway those feelings. I really wish that wasn't the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And TBH, I think everyone knew something like that would happen, just few realized El Kapitan would be one of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember who it was, but he interviewed a lot of the younger Wild players (on a plane, train or bus?) and they all looked like GQ men. Where have I said it before, they looked like millionaires. Heck, they play like millionaires too. Tight, fancy, they always look good. Preening constantly.
