Welcome back Rotty! Who would have thought that you come back to the forums when Koivu leaves 😁

 

On this night's game: dare I even say this, but as I got back from work today, I got this odd thought. It said: "That was a hard day, but I'll be entertained by the game tonight". Entertained! Like the Wild would ever have played entertaining hockey! Blue-collar hockey at its best, yes. Games worth playing and games worth watching, at its best, yes. But entertaining? That is what my thoughts try to feed me. That the Wild plays hockey that is fun to watch. That the players are having fun playing. I must be going out of my mind. Please let me stay this crazy 🙏 (and please let Kähkönen play as much as Talbot is playing).

Boo!

Koivu leaves and in less than a year the team starts turning heads.

Who made that prediction 9 years ago? 😉

Without a doubt you were the only one who made it... 🤪

 

Seriously, Koivu's departure was a big factor but now for a long, long time the Wild's goalie department is also way above average. Granny's trade for Fiala seems to have worked out pretty well too. 

 

Did you also predict KK would be such a stud? 😇

You did it.😇

Kahkonen tonight in the net. The rest roster is unchanged.

Fingers crossed for Kahkonen continuing from where he was.

Personally for me, he is a 2nd Tretiak for his solid consistency so far, but not like our former goalie Backstrom which Russo compared with. Even KK did not like that comparison with Backstrom. Talbot is also improving his consistency in front of the pretty good team. We are 4 points behind the 1st place of our Division - Vegas team, and few teams behind us permanently are biting our heels every time. In my opinion, tonight it should be our a must win game again. We do not have any other choices left in that race - only a win. Game by game, game by game.:cool[1]:

I think you’ve been listening to Walz too much. Like when he stated that Phil Housley was Cale Makar before Cale Makar.

Well our Furnace stopped working tonight so someone is going to be here soon to look at it.

Is it at least blowing air but no heat? If so, and you use natural gas, it’s probably just a dirty flame detector.

We’ve had the blowing air but no heat at least every other year since we bought this house. It’s a quick fix.
