It will be interesting to see how either of these teams approach the game since the outcome will change absolutely nothing for either squad. Enjoy and discuss...

lynxrattle Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 The fact that the game will change absolutely nothing is very interesting indeed: a player that has heart endures hardship. He will endure even pointlessness, lack of meaning. A player playing for trivial reasons, money, adulation, glory etc on will lose motivation and become nothing himself. A game like this is a good opportunity to find out which players Fenton should strive to keep and which he should try to dump somewhere else. Who will quit? Do we have players who play like it's the playoffs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockey-78 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I wouldn't make much of one game, especially this one. Another Jets game, players just going through the motions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClusterChuck Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I don't recognize the first video, Probably because at that time I was watching the 2nd ...And had hair like that too. Thanks again for the Pre and post efforts. I'll still watch these last 2 games just too look at individuals and any positives they may bring into next season. It is a shame the Dallas game won't have any meaning as it looked like it would a month ago. If people can show up for the Ducks-Kings game last night, I guess I can watch the Wild a couple more times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confrontational Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Wild look like a playoff team these few last games - since the heat is off them mentally to do everything right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomdog Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I hope the wild turn their roster sheet upside-down and play The l??ower lines more and bench the regulars as much as possible. Let's give seeler and pateryn some pp Time same with a Hunt / spurgeon combination on the 2nd pp unit. Let's give some of the guys a chance to show what they can do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomdog Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I would also like to see the wild go super aggressive on the forecheck. Have we ever seen them go with a 2-2-1 forecheck? Really press own around the face off circles before they get desperate? Drop the defenseman lower on the pp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbgarnett Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 That Dominoes Pizza commercial is a lie. My brother saw it and there dog has the same Toy pizza so he downloaded the app and tried scanning the pizza but it would not accept it. He tried multiple times and no matter what it wouldn't accept it, so you can not scan any pizza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you were my age, did you ever watch Zoom, or Sigmund and the Sea Monsters (I know, the bell bottom, butterfly collar 70s complete with earth tones clothes)? What an eye-sore generation for 'inner/outer wear'. I even had a stick from Doug Hicks and Barry Gibbs, which will date my further.

EmptyShelf Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 styro-foam 'peanut' padding. Just enough to not totally fracture your skull.

EmptyShelf Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Suter is so slow/lazy to the puck that Stalock has to come out and complete the 'suicide clear' for a goalie. Does he even know what an embarrassment his play has been? He should be forced to watch tape over-and-over with the coaches and have them ask him if he is really sure that is the fastest he can skate? Also, if he should really still receive Top Line TOI? How could he affirm with a straight face - tape don't lie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the matching plum outfit, and then the pea soup ensemble, complete with some earth tone Toughskins with the iron on patches (wear worn out). My Mom and Dad must have been drunk or stoned to think these were presentable combos - my kids (14-22 years old) look at these pix like it was MY choice!?!

He could skate backwards down the ice, and no one will say anything, because all it takes it a call to CL to putthe coach in his place... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
