Minnesota Wild @ Los Angeles Kings, Thursday 1-14-21, 9:00pm, Staples Center

Our PP2 will be the worst in the league if it is 13, 90, and 27 upfront.  It will only get worse when Zucc comes back and thinks he needs PP time too.....

another goalie will beat the mild

Welcome.  The MALAISE is already setting in here.  I know that I am feeling bitter about some of the yearly issues.  I am, however, very happy to see no KLYDE - thank the lord.

[MNSOTA]

Well the doctor gave me Mucinex with codeine. Life is grand.

[wildstars95]

the wild still paying parish contract?

Because you miss Klyde so much:

At least our PP is moving a lot unlike other years.
And hey, Our D has been involved in all the goals.

From what I saw at the end of the first period and the start of the second the lack of a 1C is really hurting us. The new acquisitions look like journeymen. Kaprizov looked very good at least on the offensive zone, though. Otherwise this might be a really painful season to watch.

Rask!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bbgarnett]

Whiff X2

Glad Rask scored on another great feed from Kap, but man is he slow going up ice.  Akin to Klyde speed, and he is much younger

I thought Kap fed him the puck but the only assist shows as Parise.

Scoring mistake.  Parise almost got a penalty in the crease, and didn't seem to have anything to do with the play unless I missed something 

[EmptyShelf]

Kap has had two other passes right in the middle that Fiala and Parise did not bury.  He looks as advertised, and will shoot or pass.  Fiala needs that skill level with him.  Otherwise, he will be doubled up or shadowed,

That ice is not good. Puck bouncing everywhere

Lou Ferigno is an awesome guy.

[EmptyShelf]

3 periods with essentially one center, and we are tied

[EmptyShelf]

BTW:  As it relates to the PowerPlay, has anyone else had enough of the sprint to the opponents blue line with a turn to fire it to the hopefully charging defensemen?  It fools no one but us, and we bobble that pass more times than not.  Was that a by-product of the Parise/Suter/Oates insubordination play?  Maybe it works for a highly skilled team (like the old Hull and Oates line), but we look geriatric trying to execute that play.  How about a low-risk entry; would that be too much to ask?!?

[EmptyShelf]

Echo....echo....echo....I'm an idiot....you're an idiot (if you have ever seen the Grinch - I hate Jim Carey and his politics, but he was made to play the Grinch)  Low attendance on this board.  Has the apathy with CL's team reached its trough yet?  Did anyone (aside from us 3-5) even know Wild opened their season tonight?  Or, is everyone in bed by nine?
