Protec Verified Member Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Let's get the loss tonight boys. I'm looking for a 2-3 defeat in a hard fought West coast grudge match with goals from Sturm, Kunin, Granlund, Ogie, and Beckman. Let's go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Carter, he's funny. Probably just joking around, but he did have a few concussions if I recall. Maybe the brain-damage kicked in, or magic-mushrooms... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know who/what lit the fire tonight. I will begrudgingly say he’s looking better. I’m guessing it’s only for this game. Prove me wrong 90!

A little bit of a greasy one but a point per game player this Ogie kid, whaaaat? I prefer my elite Swedes with zero neck-beard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wait neck-beards were always at zero style-points but the Ogie part is on the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gritty.Not.Pretty Verified Member Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 The only thing better— back-to-back-to-back. The kid is fun to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what I was thinking. Hypothetical anti-jinx idea here is that if he can get the hatty tonight, he'll only need an assist and five more goals to reach an even 50G, 50A, for 100P. I wonder if he'll benefit from a slightly longer off season uninjured? Gotta wonder if slow starts for him has been due to healing up and therefore having to wait to begin training hard before camp. Maybe playing less fast-pace hockey during Summer or training at all for a month or more have led to slow starts. He's had a few. Once he heats up after Christmas, look out. His scoring pace the second half has been amazing. Long gone are the days we were afraid to even say his name on this board. The Fenton year looked especially sketchy... #97CSKA. Russian Savior. The 5th rounder that shall not be named. He's here in full effect and by good margin the best player MN has ever had. Sign him for the max no matter what and reserve a space in the rafters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protec Verified Member Posted April 14 Author Share Posted April 14 NoJo from Merrill and Goligoski is about the saddest way to be scored on if you're the Sharks. Adds insult to injury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protec Verified Member Posted April 14 Author Share Posted April 14 Noteworthy that the Wall is improving his NHL stats after being plugged in for a Dallas Stars smackdown a few months ago. .931 tonight after a shutout the last time he played. Pretty interesting development. Not sure MN is gonna be able to pay every emerging prospect the boku-bucks? At this point it looks like Ogie, MRat, Rossi, Wallstedt, and Faber are gonna be pretty decent players. There is also Chisholm who the Wild have to retain and what to do about Gus or MAF. Kinda looking like maybe the Wild have some good problems this off season especially with Yurov and Heidt blowing doors in their current leagues. Something to think about.

Protec Verified Member Posted April 14 Author Share Posted April 14 Hate to see the Wild's draft odds diminish but it's still good to see them get a win with Wally between the pipes. Once again, players don't tank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gritty.Not.Pretty Verified Member Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Things are looking brighter with these kids. I like the hustle. Can I afford to be optimistic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
