[Minnesota]

On paper, we should dominate.

Ima try to watch this one.

Soucy getting another look. Maybe he's the reason we let Folin walk?

The long shots for playing time, at least at the start of the season, are Soucy and Murphy.

Soucy, a Wild draft pick in 2013, just completed a four-year career at the University of Minnesota Duluth, where he helped lead the Bulldogs to the national championship game last year.

At 6-foot-4, the strengths of Soucy's game are in his own zone and his outright willingness to play a physical game. That was on display Monday in Winnipeg when Soucy blasted Jets forward Mark Scheifele with a clean hit near the Wild bench.

Soucy's size and his ability to play a physical brand of hockey are both in high demand on the Wild blue line, which makes it a near certainty he'll get a chance with Minnesota at some point during the upcoming season. In three AHL games at the tail end of last season, as well as in prospect camp, he's managed to become a favorite of Iowa head coach Derek Lalonde.

Sounds like he could see bottom-pairing minutes in Minnesota this upcoming season.

Enstrom is not playing for the Jets. Trouba instead.

Yes - best to cycle players like this.

 

[W75]

So it seems I'm sillä awake after the evening shift. Let's see if there's a way to watch the game too.

 

[StealthClobber]

Damn this Ben Utecht guy has a great singing voice.

 

[Minnesota]

President of Finland? Holy crap. That's cool.

 

[MoeTheHobo]

He seemed to enjoy it at least

 

[StealthClobber]

Oh god what is this new FSN scoreboard?

 

[Grover]

So the game is blacked out on FSN for me? wtf is this..anyone else having this problem?

 

[melinko]

Anyone know if this scoreboard they are using for the regular season? (It looks like the one FOX is using for football)

I like the simple look but there is too much dead space.

I certainly hope not. It's soooo basic. Doesn't look to have a shots on goal counter either.

 

[Minnesota]

Soucy(#60) looks huge.

 

[NonsenseElimination]

Oh God, I don't know what is worse, these new green jerseys or that new FSN scoreboard. Why so much empty space? Those green jerseys are so much worse than the ones last year!

 

[MoeTheHobo]

I like the new jerseys

 

[NonsenseElimination]

I like the new jerseys

That stripe in the middle is stupid, and the nice stripes that used to be on the bottom are gone.

 

[NHL1674]

Why the #$@! is it blacked out!?

 

[Minnesota]

Nice play by Ennis.

 

[MoeTheHobo]

each to their own

 

[Minnesota]

Yeah, not digging the scoreboard overlay... No SOG? Amateur.

 

[melinko]

Its noticeable that Bruce/Fletcher want more size.

Every bubble roster guy looks huge.

 

[NHL1674]

Is it on regular FSN or FSN+?

 

[NonsenseElimination]

Honestly, the simplicity of that scoreboard looks like something that would be created on a small-town community access channel -- 20 years ago!

 

[Grover]

no longer blacked out on DirectTV. That was weird

Edit:now it is again

Edit: Now it isn't again
