The Wild are playing CO tonight, they will be 0-3 and then hopefully get on track against the Jets.

 

They don't play the jets until 11/23. If that's the first win I wouldn't put a down payment on playoff tickets

Ten minutes of great hockey by the Wild ends with an Avalanche goal.

Hell of an off season for “Billy”

 

Sure glad he didn’t roll up his sleeves and figure out how to keep an 80-100 pt player for the foreseeable future.

instead opting to keep scrubs, many who won’t be on the team in 2-3 years and could have been replaced by, wait for it, other scrubs.

Good luck Boldy

oh and the goaltending. Couple of beauties.

Gustavsson is s backup. For sure. He can’t be our plan. If Fluery is really a 50/50 goalie, we’re screwed. 

it’s a long season when you need 5+ to have a shot.

Erickson Ek gets manhandled on the regular. He catches someone with a high stick in defense and gets called to the letter of the penalty.

It’s cute how Dean is pulling the goalie with a ton of time left like he’s trying to win.

Giving up 6.7 goals per game. No big thing. 
Averaging 4 goals per game and winless. 

This goaltending is atrocious.

PJ Fleck said that about Penn State in his interview with PA on KFAN yesterday.  It has been a long minute since I've heard that musing...it's too good to not use it more.

Being handcuffed by bad contracts from previous regimes is not his fault. Thinking MAF is the answer in goal just cause he’s a likable guy is.

@bigbeer You are 100% correct on the handcuffs and what he walked into.

but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t doable.

you would have had to bite a bullet one way or another.

I would have gone the route of trading one of a Foligno or Greenway type of contract along with two replacements.

In a league that is going all talent and all scoring I would have kept the 26 year old 80-100 point guy to tandem with the other 100+ pt guy for the foreseeable future.

Not trading Kahkonen or resigning MAF would have helped in that direction. 

I might also argue that Fiala had a career year last year and may never have that many points again. They may have also seen enough of his inconsistency and disappearing in the playoffs.

@bigbeer a career year peak at 25 seems like a stretch especially when all of his underlining numbers back it up. And playing with a Center like Gaudreau who is no where near a top 6 NHL center in any way shape or form, or top 9 player. As well as 2nd hand PP minutes most of the year.

I would bet pretty heavy he is a point per game player for the foreseeable future. Time will tell.

Fiala has been a dog in the playoffs every year and they had to find room somewhere. There was no easy way to come out of that. The MAF gig however is 100% worth criticism.

They’ve looked better the last couple games. Not very good, but better. Fleury was pretty great in this one in my opinion. Especially in the third and overtime.

Outdoor on what? Rollerblades?

St. Louis Park started doing this a few years ago. They convert the ROC to an ice rink in mid October. They have pulled it off even with days in the mid 70s. They put in a new refrigeration system and it’s very efficient, and much more than extra cost keeping it frozen in warm weather is made by being the only outdoor rink open for months. It is covered so the sun doesn’t hit it.

Hard to know which version of the Wild is closer to the real thing, but you gotta love MAF's SV% of late. 

NYR  .800

LAK .714

VAN .885

@BOS .907

@MTL .963

@OTT .931

I guess he's telling his opponents to, "come @ me bro!"

NHL uses points instead of wins. Out of 14 they have 7. 

Honestly I think the point system they use is dumb and they shouldn’t be .500, but here we are.

I have never looked at those and thought, “I’m going to go there, buy that, eat that…”

Toews with a nice spear to the store of Addison with about two minutes left in OT.  What a puke.
