Hartman на 1 линии? Шо опять?
That was hard to watch. We barely scraped by beating the Blackhawks. They can switch that top line up again too- let’s not start down this road again.
I dunno if you want to open the floor to Robocop references; I'm the guy who would go "I'd buy that for a dollar" constantly.
While I don't get to watch a lot of games, I get the impression that Boldy isn't really cutting the mustard. He seems like the Wild's version of Kakko or Lafreniere…and that's bad. But like with those two, I firmly believe there's a GM dumb/hopeful enough to offer a King's Ransom like Brisebois did for Tanner Jeannot.
Wild dont even know how to tank correctly.
You actually suck Seth. It’s hard to listen to you when you just shit on the team this entire season. Yes it’s not a good year. We expected this to happen eventually with the cap. Why don’t you have some faith instead of dashing on them everyday. Sounds more like you hate this team then care
My oh oh my Hynes found a piece to build around, Hartman looked like a number one center tonight, 3-15 on face offs and he pulled a Houdini all night long w the rest of the top six. Excellent coaching decision. Freddy and JoJo were abysmal , question why don’t they end up in the press box. Unbelievably Frosty and Pylon were not noticeable at all , so I guess we got that going for us. One thing I noticed is the Wild always have the best 4th lines in the league, too bad the rest of the team is a disgrace. Now I completely understand the Hynes longevity and legacy in coaching at NJ and Nash. The hours of film, practice and meetings it must have taken to put this kind of Juggernaut Cup contender together is absolutely mind boggling , only a batch of delicate geniuses including the GM and Owner could assemble such a cast of Clowns and make believe and try to sell this as a playoff bound organization. Now that right there is funny!!
5 stages of grief…. #4 Realizing having Sam Steele on this roster would be a substantial upgrade. As you noted many players are not playing to anywhere near their potential. It’s like there’s a fog over this group right now.
Can someone please explain why the Wild are so awful in the face off dot, can’t they practice techniques, effort or strategies. For God sake the least a center could do is hit the opponents stick before the puck hits the ice, I mean I see a lot of slow blind sweep’s especially by Hartman lmao. He is so slow on the draw. He’s like the Ray Charles of face offs 😂😂
Evason demanded Freddy be signed but Guerin gave him the term. He had to be tipping a few cold ones w that signing. It will be like Merrill 2.0 over the next four years. Guys like FE are a dime a dozen in AHL. Come on man😂😂. And Beckman sits in the Pressbox. Bahahahaha.
I don't think I've ever been so deflated after a win. #greatergood
BREAKING NEWS: Guerin named GM of team 🇺🇸
That's going to be trouble 😂😂😂
Minnesota Wild: The team you love to hate and the team you hate to love.
Почему Марко Росси убрали из первого звена я не понимаю ! Хартман на первого центра не тянет . Лучше бы Эриксона Экка поставили в первое звено , он на мой взгляд является нашим лучшим центром .Болди от него я жду большего .
I am Italian. The 1st period o this game was the closest to Italian Hockey League I have ever seen in the NHL. And that's not a compliment.
completely unrelated to anything, but just want to give a shout to the NHL for playing pretty great music this season, during game breaks, etc. I've heard everything from Pennywise to Motorhead, to Goldfinger & Iron Maiden…a ton of good bands that I didn't expect to hear, that's for sure lol
If you were to take all the Minnesota hockey players that are playing in the NHL today and put them on the Minnesota wild team and replaced all the players on the wild Minnesota boys would win a Stanley Cup for the Minnesota wild
