Citizen Strife Verified Member Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 The sooner Mojo is traded, the sooner that possibility becomes reality. How Boldy is second in the team in points when Ek has tapered off and Mojo has provided nothing is beyond me. For all the whinging about whether Rossi fits that top line, think what Boldy's dealing with... 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaddeo Verified Member Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 It’s far too early to determine what the Wild are. In years past, this team has been given the title of a sleeper or darkhorse but has bowed out of the first round because of the lack of depth. Is this year different? Maybe, but likely not. I like how the team has played but I think come playoff time, a team like Dallas or Winnipeg (if they acquire a second line center) is just too much for this team. If we shore up the top 6 so mojo isn’t there anymore, we look great. If our bottom 6 is able to produce more offense, or we acquire a depth scorer, maybe we can compete. Our D is good, but I think we are still missing a piece to put us over the top. And if Brodin’s and Spurge’s health don’t hold up, that group looks really shaky. All this to say, I want to believe we are a contender, but I think we are a few pieces away from truly being there. We have the grit and some skill, just don’t know if it’s enough.

FredJohnson Verified Member Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 Good thing we're 2nd in the Central and 3rd in the whole league. I can't imagine what complaints would be if we were worse (or BETTER)! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydguy75 Verified Member Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 The Wild probably have more ingredients for a Contender than ever before, however many things still prevent them from going deep. Inconsistent play from period to period and game to game. Passing to no one, especially in zone entry and zone clearing. Players still out of position. Injuries. PP. PK. How in the world does Dumba rock Bogo? This alone tells me they have no stomach for the grit required in post season. Sure Midd-sy did OK in his tuffle against Dallas, OK, but I am still not seeing any playoff threats here on this team. Trust me, would love to see them finally win it all, but facts and eye tests bring a person back to reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
