Zucker seems to have the Captain ignited - let's hope it lasts.

Stole this from ******.


edit: why can't I mention a website that begins with r and calls itself the front page of the internet?

Ha, I have no idea why that particular site is censored here.

Don't know if it'll last, but it sure continued into tonight.

I saw that live, and i think it was right before the .gif started his chin dripped blood while he was staring blankly... it was strange to watch.

Hey I made that gif! Someone requested it.

He looked like my cat when it first sees the laser light on the wall.

@RussoStrib: Mikko Koivu topped 20 faceoff wins 3 x this year (2 in a row); only #mnwild player ever to win 20+ draws (6 times), courtesy @AnthonyLaPanta

Koivu's gonna be fine. He's not Crosby, he's not Thornton or Sedin, so he's never gonna get to 1.0 PPG. But he's skilled, competes night in night out, and basically plays in all situations whenever we need him.

Look at Kopitar, he's cold too right now, most players have cold and hot streaks, and are inconsistent. Only the best of the best get above a ppg in todays NHL.

Pft, because he's not a 1.0 ppg player, he's terrible. Trade him

This may be the best and most rational post that will ever be in this thread.

last night koivu was in beast mode, why dont we see that more often? he was even barking at the ref , i like it!

 

[NHLPodium]

I was at the game and, I dunno. He had his positives throughout the night, but he turned the puck over more times than I could count as well.

Koivu was credited for 0 giveaways and 1 takeaway in the box score.

Koivu is the one with number 9 on his shirt. He is also the captain, so he has a C on his chest. Not hard to spot... Just thought you should know.

Yes, because the home team's scorekeepers never sway the pendulum as they see fit. Cluster**** getting so many hits was attributed the graciousness of them.

 

[Generic User]

Still, you'd think that if Koivu had more turnovers than someone could count, then he'd be marked down for one or two..

 

[Nharris31]

I'm pretty sure he didn't deserve a goal and an assist yesterday either.

Quantum physics!

Unfortunately, to phrase Randy Moss, it's because he 'plays when he wants to play.'

that's a pity, however at least he plays when needed to

So when he doesn't produce it's because he's not good, then when he has a good game it's because he doesn't try other games? Got it.

Whatever fits the narrative of hate.

If you're a #mnwild fan, I talked to Mikko Koivu today about "Angry Mikko." It was a good interview; I'll write on him in next few days

Angry Koivu for the win!
