Protec Verified Member Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Fontaine was good in the memorable playoff Rd.1 win against Colorado when prototypical rat Matt Cooke broke Tyson Barrie's knee and Nino sniped the winning goal on the 2v1. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imyourhuckleberry Verified Member Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 The Wild are not mathematically eliminated yet, but they are now out of it. The Kings only need to go 2-4 in their final 6 to lock the Wild out of the playoffs. The East actually has teams vying for that final playoff spot, so some teams like the Sabres or Devils could pass the Wild in points. If the Wild can hold off from adding to their standings points, they still have a shot to slide into the bottom 10-11 teams, which would give them a small chance of vaulting into the top 3 via the lottery. I was in favor of trying for the playoffs when there was a realistic shot, but that time has passed them by. Can they give Zane McIntyre or Hunter Jones some NHL experience? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zane is too nice of a guy to be treated that way. I know the money may be different but still, he is a great guy and that would be ugly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joebou15 Verified Member Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Good ol' Fonzie. Feel like this article was narrowcasted hard at certain people. That said, the Wild need more guys that can cash in on few opportunities going forward in depth roles and stop giving oodles of minutes to dudes like NoJo that clearly do not deserve the ice time they get.

mnfaninnc Verified Member Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I always liked Fontaine. One thing he had was a really sneaky stick. He was one of the few that could really get in people's ways and knock pucks down. When Chicago had half a team full of those guys, Fontaine was really our only guy who could do that. It'd be nice to hit on another college free agent like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
