2016-2017 Minnesota Wild General Discussion II

[nt3005]

Does anybody else have a feeling the fellas are gonna come out and play a really good game tonight? For some reason I feel like I should put some money on the game.

 

[Dee Oh Cee]

It'll start from the goalie on out...if Dubs give them a good start and starts sucking up pucks I think that'll give them a really good chance. Get the crowd into it with an early one or two, maybe a PP goal for once to get things going.

Yeah, I do. The trouble is, I thought the same thing last game, and the game before, and the game before, and the game before that, and...

2 games in a row where we got to OT. At least Bruce has SOMETHING positive to work with. Home game coming up against Ottawa, would be great to see a win to get things turned back in the right direction. There's still time to pull out of this.

Agreed. I like to see some positivity! If our special teams hadn't tanked us last night, we win that game. Feeling better, but we can't go 0 and 5 on powerplays AND give up 3 power play goals.

 

[GellMann]

Hey guys, good luck in the playoffs. Sorry if this is the wrong place for this but I was wondering if your team does a fan appreciation night and what it entails.

According to this:

Could be advanced stats guys.

[BusQuets]

Almost amazing how they have gotten 8 points with that goaltending and special teams.

 

[TaLoN]

Nope, didn't hire them that long ago.

 

[keppel146]

I think finishing 2nd in the division could be a good thing. Right now Calgary has to play Chicago..

Hello Wild fans! I was hoping you could help me out with something.

I'm doing some adjustments on the rosters for my NHL 17 game. I'm currently fixing the Wild team.

Here's the 23 man roster I'm going with:

Forwards: Koivu, Hanzal, Staal, Haula, Graovac, Parise, Schroeder, Granlund, Coyle, Pominville, Niederreiter, Zucker, Stewart, White
Defensemen: Brodin, Suter, Scandella, Prosser, Suter, Dumba, Folin
Goalies: Dubnyk, Kuemper

Now my question is: Based on the roster above, how should I put together the lines and D pairings to best reflect the Wild lineup? Thanks.

Current Wild Roster

Lines

Zucker - Koivu - Granlund
Coyle - Staal - Parise (yes, Charlie and Zach are both playing off wing)

Stewart/Haula - Haula/Eriksson Ek - White/Schroeder

Suter - Spurgeon
Brodin - Prosser/Folin
Scandella - Dumba

Dubnyk

Stalock

Though Zach is currently injured so the lines in practice today were

Zucker - Koivu - Granlund
Stewart - Staal - Coyle
Haula - Hanzal - Pominville
Nino - Eriksson Ek - White/Schroeder

 

[Wild11MN]

Didn't see this posted anywhere. At least the new jersey next year will be green!

 

[Minnesota]

Yep, they'll look similar to this:

 

[TwiztedHeat]

I still need to buy the newest white and the original white so I have every Wild jersey they've worn.

Also to fill a quota, Wild should get Pionk.

 

[CunniJA]

With their 2nd seed in the division all but a lock, are the Wild going to turn to Stalock for all or maybe two of three games next week?

Not a lock. Gotta win two out of four to clinch, and that might be expecting too much at this point. I would expect Dubnyk until it's a lock.

99% sure Dubnyk plays against Colorado.

 

[kfan22]

They can clinch tomorrow

 

[Wild11MN]

They can clinch tomorrow

If we win and Blues lose, yes.

funny comment by JR yesterday during the hawks vs bruins game. they were talking about how the wild cooled off & JR said earlier in the year the captain koivu was in the mix for the selky (?) and now he just saw his face on a milk carton hes been missing for so long!
