Article: Jared Spurgeon Is Still A Force For the Wild

[MacGyver]

The Fanduel App is significantly better than the old Bally's app. Buffering is insignificant compared to Bally. No more having to log in every time you launch the app. I think Fanduel had a better server system to start with to handle all the gambling.  I believe you will only see the first round of Wild playoffs on Fanduel when the Wild advance to the second round I don't think that will be on Fanduel. 

Kirill's return will be a huge boost to this team and I'm guessing he is going to be on absolute fire. I think this will be enough to propel them through the first round especially if they draw Vegas. Just a gut feeling from a long time casual observer.  If some of the other teams suffer a significant injury or two anything can happen. 🤔

I'm hoping we can draw the Knights. Let the red hot Blues wear the Jets down a bit.

We have some must win games ahead of us, hope the team is ready to fight for it.

Could it be that his prospective offensive numbers go up, more in the assist area, when we get better quality forwards which are coming? The same thing could be said about his PP numbers too, if he had Kaprizov and Ek for the full season, wouldn't he likely have better PP numbers?

I think we're looking at the wrong thing when seeing his offensive numbers. He can drive all he wants but picks his chances. But, if the guys around him can't convert that into a goal, well, he has nothing to show for it in the points column. 

Maybe a more interesting stat would be chances created where he did his job but someone else shanked it into the corner.

He has played with the top forwards for the past three years and his numbers are still bad.  Who passes the puck to Kirill to score on the Power Play, surely not Spurgeon it is another forward.  

As pure defense he is a stud.  As someone to provide offense he isn't that guy.  When you have players injured you have to get offense from somewhere and it isn't coming from the Black Hole that wears 46.
