I will be on the post-gamer. Lots of extras will be included. The Wild managed to eek out a win against Arizona but a more explosive (offensively-speaking) Carolina team arrives. Can the Wild continue their home ice...dare I say dominance with another win? Or will the Hurricanes blow the Wild away? Enjoy and discuss...

Alexandron Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) Interesting will be to watch how Erik Haula and Nino will play against their former Wild team. It seems Carolina team is a very tough nut in a league. Their goalies are not the best, which means we still have a small chance to win this game. It would be difficult to put/to match our offense against their offense. Hope, our goalie and defense will be more focused during the game on protecting our net.

ClusterChuck Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Haula will probably go hug everybody for leaving him unprotected and being able to enjoy the run Vegas had. Another victim of mismanagement here. I'd been saying how much I wanted his speed with the top lines out there. I was just wondering about him and if he was playing after that injury and where.

IllaZilla Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 This is how excited I am over this team. I was offered free tickets to today’s tilt and yet chose to go work clothes shopping for the Mrs. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreaseAndAssist Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 I am probably going to the Nov. 29th game against Ottawa. A former student who works for the team is giving them to me. I am actually looking forward to it. Probably my first Wild game in person in about 4 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynxrattle Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I would absolutely love to see this game in person! Hurricanes playing in an entertaining way, Haula and Niederreiter returning - will we see any chirping like with Kuemper? Offense, youth and speed vs defence, vets and a snail's pace. It does not get much better than this, our chances of getting to the playoffs being what they are. Bring on the pop corn and the beer!

CreaseAndAssist Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 I have video of this Wild game. But no sound at all. Its not muted on the TV or anything. No idea why. I've tried re-loading YouTube TV like 3-4 times. Still no sound. Although I can't hear Wes Walz right now so that's a plus I guess... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockey-78 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I'm very excited to see this game too! I love the Hurricanes and their roster. Very exciting players to watch, like Aho, TT, Svechnikov, Haula for obvious reasons, even Hamilton... Yeah, they have speed in every line. Like lynx mentioned, this is all about speed vs. pace management. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmptyShelf Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Something is up with Greenway's base/balance. How does he get flattened by much smaller players? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
