Lord Walz makes me miss Greenlay so much.... and that's not good.

100% on the dot!

 

[AKL]

Best faceoff man in Wild history

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

B+ first shift.

Dude. Just...no.

 

[Minnewildsota]

B+ first shift.

Didn't score. BUST!

 

[BagHead]

I'm a little surprised at the welcome cheers for Khusnutdinov. I can't remember another player getting cheers like that in their first game except Kaprizov.

I’m excited good shift

Fans, myself included, just itching for something interesting and good to cheer for this season

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

Hartman robbed on what would have been a beauty.

Can't blame them, that last Russian that debuted for the team turned out pretty well

Dude. Just...no.

I'd take Greenlay for Walz any day

Kinda surprised as well. Think most casual fans (which I believe are a relatively large majority) wouldn't really know who most rookies are.

 

[Minnewildsota]

Heard Cam Fowler. Thought Cam Barker. Was super confused.

I'd take Greenlay for Walz any day

They cheered for Freddy

Exactly! Exactly why I said that. Marat's a good prospect, but not even the Wild's top prospect. Guess that Xwitter hype campaign worked.

They cheered for Freddy

Did they really? You mean in his return this year?

 

[Sweetnut]

Did they really? You mean in his return this year?

No, tonight. He's the reason they watch the games

Yeah. I'm sure there are fans that know and follow most of what the team does like a lot of us on the boards here. But, they likely don't post in a forum or whatever. But, I still think that's a pretty small group of people. I would be willing to bet there are less than 10%, or possibly as low as 5% of general Wild fans that know anything past simply watching the games or maybe reading the occasional article on a sports site. Most probably don't pay attention to the draft, follow drafted players, free agency, etc. I mean, my two best friends are big hockey guys & Wild fans, but they barely know anything about that stuff. They literally just watch the games and sometimes follow free agency stuff.

Rossi bro you’re always covered in snow from going to the ice

Based on the number of Athletic subscribers, there is a fairly large amount of active Wild fans. Just not here.

 

[Sweetnut]

Nutty better watch out for Gudas, he's no stranger to late, dirty hits.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

4/5 faceoffs for Khusnutdinov so far.

Bogo!!

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Bogo!

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Rossi assist alert

 

[Sweetnut]

BoGo BinGo!
Yeah!
