I'm willing to cut a Boldy a little slack because he's dragging Steel around the rink with him. Kaprizov needs to be a $9M player for the rest of the season.Tonight would be a nice time for Kaprizov or Boldy to put in a dominant performance. Every once in a while a team needs their stars to take control of a game - this a like one of them.
I see a player like Steele playing in the line-up, and I can't believe the Wild comparison to teams like Rangers, Boston, and Colorado. Those teams are stacked with offensive talent.I'm willing to cut a Boldy a little slack because he's dragging Steel around the rink with him.

I don't follow the rules of the salary cap, but how does New York add Patrick Kane to an already-loaded lineup? Then you have a guy like Rantanen over in Colorado who can take over games for them—and he's not even the marquee star. When you look at these rosters, it's no surprise at all that teams like the Wild have to focus on defense.

Does Dallas do a “Let’s Play Hockey”? Maybe the Wild will get lucky and the Stars will bring in Leon Lett.
More compelling than World Cup? ?I don't watch a ton of NHL hockey, and after catching a period here and there of the playoffs I'm reminded why. My dumb opinion, but the NHL just isn't that interesting a brand of hockey.
High level NCAA or good state tourney hockey is so much more enjoyable for me to watch than the pros.
Doh’kay
He didn't say it was better hockey. Just more enjoyable for him. If given the choice I'd watch Gopher hockey, but still love the Wild.
I’d rather watch Gopher hockey too but to say that the NHL playoffs isn’t that interesting is ridiculous. The NHL playoffs is the most compelling sporting event in the world.

yup. You can do a lot with an extra 12 mill that’s being spent on Parise and Suter (goes to 14 next year). Buys you at least another guy like Rantanen (hell, McDavid is only 12.5) mixed with a middle tier scorer. This team would be right there with the upper tier if we weren’t stuck in this spot. Now the problem will more be do you lose the window on some of these guys with paying Boldy an extra 6 million next year? Would envision its why Dumba will be exiting next year to make the difference until we clear the Suter and Parise deals and can reinvest in the next couple contributors in 24-25
43 years ago today the Minnesota NorthmStars beat the 4time consecutive Stanley Cup champion Canadiens in game 7 in Montreal ?

I would like to see Boldy between Johansson and Nyquist. Play Sundquist with Gaudreau and Foligno.
So tomahawks aren’t a slash. Mmmmsy. Mmmmkay

I'm shocked that Brodin and Spurgeon would give up a PP goal

Actually the World Cup is definitely up there, the dumb rules in soccer not withstanding.
Maybe foligno shouldn’t have run his mouth after the game Sunday because it really seems like the officials have it out for him
If this is five it’s bullshit. Two is bs.
I get that it’s a dangerous play by Foligno but a game misconduct in a playoff game is ridiculous
Maybe the NHL should run a competent leagueMaybe foligno shouldn’t have run his mouth after the game Sunday because it really seems like the officials have it out for him
Maybe foligno shouldn’t have run his mouth after the game Sunday because it really seems like the officials have it out for him
And giving him a game DQ is a really bad look for the refs. Wreaks of “how dare you question the shitty job we do”
@j22 I agree they’ve been incompetent. But knowing that, you gotta deal with it and publicly saying what he said likely ain’t helping
this clown crew better not see second round
Shocking that Faksa survived
I'm sorry but that was a stupid play by Foligno and a penalty every time. It was a borderline dangerous play in fact.
What was the penalty?I'm sorry but that was a stupid play by Foligno and a penalty every time. It was a borderline dangerous play in fact.
Can we not give up another pp goal in the first ten seconds?
@slap-shot yeah I don’t disagree that it was a penalty. The misconduct, no. I agreed with the tbs guys- 2 mins
They certainly gave themselves a steep hill to climb in this one.
Woof
Stay out of the gd box with this PK. The refs are inconsistent but geebus our special teams are beyond embarrassing
EXACTING…I'm sorry but that was a stupid play by Foligno and a penalty every time. It was a borderline dangerous play in fact.

He never moved his foot or leg, Dallas guy jumped to avoid a check and hit his knee.

It is pretty tough to stay out with some of the calls right now. Unless they start playing No-check I don’t know how you win a playoff game if the refs are going to call the game this way.Stay out of the gd box with this PK. The refs are inconsistent but geebus our special teams are beyond embarrassing
So we get the Suter/Parise salary cap space back next year? I don’t see our low end players measuring up to other teams. Seems like we are lucky to get what we are out of this team without it. And Kaprisov needs to strap in and get it going.
On the bright side Faber is looking more and more confident.
Yep, Foligno's shoulder hits Faksa right in the middle of the chest, he just doesn't get all of him and slips off. Partially because Faksa is obviously trying to not get hit. Foligno is actually pulling his leg in as the hit is made. I get that it's an awful looking hit, but that doesn't make it a penaltyWhat was the penalty?I'm sorry but that was a stupid play by Foligno and a penalty every time.

Uh no we have cap hell for two more years
What really burns me bout the Foglina penalty is a bit earlier Steele gets two handed on a breakaway and no call. The situation never should have happened, either score dammit or make a call.
My expectations are too high. ?

You got 2 more years of Guerin's wonderful cap management.So we get the Suter/Parise salary cap space back next year? I don’t see our low end players measuring up to other teams. Seems like we are lucky to get what we are out of this team without it. And Kaprisov needs to strap in and get it going.
But don't worry, once the Suter/Parise salaries come off the books, We'll have a 36 year old Spurgeon making $7.5M and a 32 year old Brodin making $6M
Guerins cap mgmt? You think he should have kept those two cancers around?
It’s fletchers mess that he’s handling and I think he’s doing a decent job so far.
now get us a center somewhere.
Dallas has 15 goals. Spurgeon has been on the ice for 11 of them.
Yes, Guerin's cap management. The Wilds cap problems are 100% on Bill Guerin. He's currently paying $6.2M in cap space for Ryan Suter to be better than any defensemen he has on his own team.Guerins cap mgmt? You think he should have kept those two cancers around?
It’s fletchers mess that he’s handling and I think he’s doing a decent job so far.
now get us a center somewhere.
Faligno could’ve easily blew up the guy and he instead holds back with the half hit and gets screwed anyway. What was he supposed to do totally avoid any contact all together? Yeah I agree with what was said, the refs got it in for him and making a point don’t dare question officials.
and that missed call led to a goal and about sums up this series
