Suter and or Parise are probably mad that he had a good game so they told him he had to play poorly this game.

they told him that's not the country club way

I hope you realize I was beyond snarky with the Klyde suggestion.

yes  i know but dump greenway and sturm for him and a 2nd round  it would be ok

Fiala's going to have to adjust his going to the net if the ref's are going to call even some spray on the goalie this season.
Twice ruining PP's. Quick grabbed his leg to sell it too. Weak.

 

[wildstars95]

this team still lacking a few needed pieces

a fresh batch of right handed everything shots would be nice

[wildstars95]

ha just my luck when i jump ship from the wild and go full bore with the kraken next season greenway will be unprotected in the x-pans draft

and on the kraken

[bbgarnett]

Holy sheet. Unbelievable 

[wildstars95]

kappy is a keeper for sure

 

[bbgarnett]

Whiffing on the puck there a little might have helped us.

[ClusterChuck]

Unbelievable...
I was just about to type on that PP that they were not moving anyone around...and of all things Suter throws it at the net.
Wow.
*edit...I meant after pulling Talbot.

No different than KK's OT winner.

Well, another difficult game, but they found a way. Kaprizov with a bad turnover but he got the primary assist in OT, so no harm done.

Kirill Kaprizov captures Wild fans' hopes and hearts in opening weekend

 

So here is a summary of my thoughts on the weekend.  I know its different than what we normally do, but with the fact we have to stream the games online I can't really do the report like I normally would.  So we are going to do series recaps instead of the in-depth period by period accounts like we did before.  We'll keep doing game-to-game previews though.  

 

I hope you like this new format, but feel free to tell me what you think of it.  

 

Enjoy and discuss!

I'm going to miss the old format of reporting, when I haven't seen the game, but when I have seen the game at least partly, I like this one more. It's a nice change giving me the chance of pausing a little bit and thinking where the Wild has been and where it possibly is heading to.

 

Right now I hope that the two KK's + Fiala will make us a very competent and fun team to watch.

 

The one thing that I think maybe a bit differently on is Greenway. I think he's not shown enough yet, despite the 3rd line having two good games under the belt. He's not as edgy as Foligno and Ek are. I still see too much of his nice guy personality on ice.

 

I usually don't like hockey fights that much, but Greenway makes me wish that someone would get under his skin enough to make him have a fight. Maybe then Greenway would find a little bit of that nastiness the Tkachuk brothers epitomize and he would be huge for the Wild. If he does not, I can't see a use for him.
