Hockey-78 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 The Wild barely beat a team who had a game 24h earlier, who played their 4th game in 6 days and who played with their 2nd string goalie. Yeah, I guess it is what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandron Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 My prediction for tomorrow game(10/22/19) Wild-Oilers - 5:4; for Thursday game(10/24/19) - Wild-Predators - 4:3(OT). The positive part from the last game was a better team's winning mentality, which maybe will be transferred at least to the next 2 games. We will be in a better position if the team will start placing 4-5 goals per game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynxrattle Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I predict we will see a lot of the other team's backup goalies from now on. The Oilers have two goalies, that are very similar, so that doesn't help us against them, but against other teams we might be helped by a "It's only the Wild" attitude. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking worse for at least 3 more years You're optimistic that it can get worse. It could get worse if they trade somebody like Foligno. He's about the only one who still plays with effort and heart on this team. In fact I would trade him for his sake so he could enjoy his efforts with another actual team.

Alexandron Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 It's a time for the team to start winning at least with the same rate. It seems we are winning about every other game (4-9-0 for October). In the next 5 months (November; December; January; February and March) we have a chance to make about 20 wins(4 per month). Last game we lost to St.Louis. But tomorrow we are going to win against the same team - a Stanley Cup winner of the last season. My prediction is 5:2 in a score. I did not predict 10:0 score, because it does not look too real against Binnington, but 5:2 is giving a slight satisfaction for the game on a home ice. Tarasenko is injured and is not going to be an issue for our team during the next 5 months. Hope, Dubnyk will be able to stop 48 out of their 50 shots towards our net; and Kunin, Donato; Fiala;Greenway and Parise each will be able to put a goal into the opposite net , but not into our net like it happened against a Dallas team. Optimism even the worse one is a common part of our life. We just need to look for it . . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClusterChuck Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Right now my optimism is just wanting to see a good full game...Win or lose. Not just periods. Can we for at least the next game win 5-2? ...Sure. I need to see something click in the O and D lines to make me think that score is reasonably reached. That's where my optimism will grow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandron Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 It seems the current dilemma among our fans -" must to win" or " must to lose" for every game of the Wild team, which is depending on the fans wishes -1) to tank for the future rebuild or 2) just to get a playoffs spot for the future attempt to reach a Stanley Cup finals. As usual , I am predicting the win tonight against Ducks with a score 3:2(OT). Hope , Boudreau found the solution to be successful in OT. And hope Donato will be able to put a goal tonight. I just do not believe, how good he was in about first 10 games after trading last season, and then became a non-factor for the Wild team as well as for the Calder Cup playoffs in the Iowa Wild uniform.

EJ0226 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I think 25 wins could be the ceiling for this team. I would hope for Parise and Suter to waive their NTC but no team in their right mind would pick them up without basically the Wild still paying for at least 55% of their contract.

Tomdog Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Here is my prediction. No one currently on this team wins a Stanley Cup while on this team. Matt Dumba, Jordan Greenway, Luke Kunin will be ready for retirement before this team is cup ready. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for sure Koivu, Suter and Parise will never see a cup unless they somehow got traded to a cup winning team. Put I honestly don't think those 3 really care if they win or not. They all got very overpaid with contracts that made it impossible to do anything to them if they don't put any effort or care to win a cup out there. I believe, when people say Parise actually wants to win, it's all a act. If he wanted to win he knew signing that contract was really going to limit the team on what they can do and build. The effort and skill for him as dropped drastically in the last 5 years. I might be wrong but I really do believe he doesn't care about winning a Cup. Look at guys who wanted to win one so badly. The grind they do. The fact they will take over a game and carry it. The drive and fire behind their words. Parise had this the first few years but became very comfortable becoming a GM/Owner and making the team a focus on him and Suter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth it if we can ever make deep playoff runs in the future I very much doubt 3 years is enough to be bad. Landing a top prospect in the next draft isn't enough either. Although I think too it's not going get just worse and worse if they make some good moves within the next year. Say like, not offer extensions to Koivu and Dubnyk. Let Parise continue his hustle in the 4th line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not offering to extend two of the Country Club, and diminishing the TOI of the other two will diminish their on ice contribution, and by default, their appalling lack of effort and team play on the ice. However, I think the most effective 'shot across the bow' would be to pull the A's. That will either change their arrogant attitude to positive, or motivate them to request a trade - which would help the team greatly - addition by subtraction. We can then get a better look at what we don't have, and ensure some years of high draft choices and a full rebuild. Not sure if BG would do it, but I am guessing CL will get in the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And therein lies the problem, Craig Leipold. Nothing changes until he either sits down, shuts up, signs the checks and bars any players going to him or he sells the team. I can't see him sitting down so now it's a hope the attendance and money stop flowing in so he sells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. I don’t think that we will get 105 points in the near future, maybe in 5-6 years or maybe.... We need to take a deep breath and to predict modestly only 2 points at a time/per game. For the Wild team it will be their best fans thread forever, especially if the team will be able to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our win against Rangers tonight with a score 5:4 in regulation. Our win against Devils tomorrow with a score 3:2 in regulation. We will take a break on predictions in OT. Too bad results so far.
