[NHL1674]

All we do is score in the preseason.

 

[123TripleDoge]

dumba in a fight.... went to lockerroom bleeding -_-

 

[TaLoN]

We don't need Dumba fighting...

 

[NHL1674]

Holy lopsided shots Batman!! And nobody get hurt, damnit!

 

[Minnesota]

We don't need Dumba fighting...

Where's Porter when you need him?

 

[Bookman]

Dumba has always been tough - him and Scandy have permission to fight on occasion.

Bettter to have guys tough enough to take care of their business than a goon.

You say that... but when the day comes that he breaks his hand ala Chara... or ends up with a concussion from the fight and misses half a season, you may change your mind.

We need his shot and offensive abilities.

I agree, we don't need a goon, but I prefer the forwards in the bottom 6 do the fighting.

Yes we do. Desperately.

Meanwhile, wth is going on? Are we being impolite again?

 

[gphr513]

What on earth compels players to fight in a ****ing preseason game?

 

[Minnesota]

Bad guys score. 4-1.

30-7 shot lead by the Wild.

 

[gphr513]

No [more] injuries, please...

 

[NHL1674]

Seriously? Speering when the game is pretty much over....in the freaking preseason? Anger management, my friend.

 

[NHL1674]

Vanek scored! Vanek scored!

 

[tomgilbertfan]

What a shame we don't get to see this. :|

 

[AKL]

He played at Shattuck?! Well, I stand corrected!

Welcome home, Chris!!!

So when is Crosby coming home?

 

[NHL1674]

Coyle needs to bring this "crazy" to the regular season.

 

[Wild11MN]

Coyle leads the league with 7 assists in the preseason. I know it doesn't mean a whole lot in the preseason, but what a huge boost it would be to this team if he took a big step this year.

When you have games like the Wild did last week, in which they scored 8 goals vs a jv team, the stats get padded beyond reality.

I would put zero stock into those numbers right now.

true, but other teams have the same chances to pad stats lol

That doesn't change the fact that these numbers have zero indication on what goes on in the regular season.

Unless you really think there's a chance Coyle will outscore everyone else on the Wild roster.

Remember how AWESOME the PP was in last year's pre-season? They looked like they put on a clinic for how to run a PP... how did that turn out?

the wild might not even have a team when the season comes, these could just be preseason phantoms

Didn't we just say preseason doesn't mean much? Feel like you're arguing against no one.
