lynxrattle Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Guerin interviewed. When he reminisces about the quiet moments with the Stanley Cup at his home, you realise there is a spiritual meaning in winning the Cup, and you know he will do whatever he can to win it once again.

lynxrattle Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Guerin will be assistant GM for US Olympic Team 2022. I think that job might be beneficial for the Wild as well. As assistant GM Guerin will get a chance to view a lot of US players and some potential coaches, potentially helping him in considering any trades the Wild might be thinking about in the future. https://www.startribune.com/usa-hockey-moves-have-minnesota-flavor/600041479/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true, that leaves a nasty mark on Guerin's karma, and might cost him his job as assistant GM for Olympic US Hockey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icechipper Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 This has been out there. Way to little info. May have been advised by team attorney in how this situation was to be handled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attorney for Jarrod Skalde has also reached out to the Penguins, submitting in writing a request that 1) the team open an independent investigation into the matter and 2) the pending litigation from Jarrod's claims be resolved in open court rather than arbitration. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynxrattle Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I'd always like to see justice dealt out as publicly as possible. The openness sends the message of what is right and what is wrong to everyone. The more secrecy involved the more one starts to question was justice really dealt in the proper manner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justice is blind as it should be (it should not see if you're a king or a slave), but judgment should be public. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynxrattle Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Well, that clears that then. I'm happy to read that statement. I was already rattled by a fear of possibly losing a great GM in a most Minnesota sports style odd fashion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope, under his management some day we will be able to win a Stanley Cup or at least to reach its finals. Still sad part for me that Guerin did not signed Dmitri Sokolov this summer. Personally for me, he was the most promising; not prone to any injuries and sickness nice sized sniper. Now that dual RW/LW player is shining at Supreme Hockey League(their second league after KHL) and is having already 20 points(12 goals; 8 assists; +/- +1) in 17 games for the Wings of Omsk team.

And hope, Guerin is reading this message. Dmitri Sokolov, after his superb stats in 17 games at VHL, was transferred to KHL and is playing now for Avangard team, Omsk. In his first game there he was able to place his 1st goal on 11/13/21. Who is better would be for our team ? Greenway or Sokolov? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomdog Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Not sure if this should be a new thread or not, but I do believe Bill Guerin has to be the front runner for GM of the year. The Wild are the best team in the NHL for now. Who would have ever thought that would happen. On a secondary note, whoever suggested hiring Bill Guerin deserves a Giant thankyou from Wild fans.

Spot on. Mike Modano took part with the GM interviews. If I had to take a guess, I'd say Modano was our saviour in the interviews. https://www.therinklive.com/nhl/mike-modano-was-north-star-in-wilds-search-for-new-gm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icechipper Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 And Guerin is deft. He slipped Kevin Czuczman onto the team and nobody noticed. No. 42 played at Lake Superior State University back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
