Now that the defense have gone through a major overhaul, I hope Gus can trust his defenders to their job and clean out the garbage in front of him. Spurge coming back should energize the whole team. But it is still his first game of the season, and it would be unfair to expect him to be the saviour in his first game back.

It has been a really, really @#$!y day today. The least the Wild could do is not crap the bed.

And don't let Greenway score.

Nice to see we are reverting to stale cheerios for the first line.

Poor Ek daddy too.

Oh dear lord ...

I would given Evason the benefit of the doubt of changing up the first line but again, a coach without any sense of creativity or flexibility, can't even try out ...

Kaprizov - Rossi - Johansson
Kaprizov - Hartman - Boldy
Kaprizov - EKK - Boldy

He goes back to the proven line that struggled for 8 games. The new line struggles for 2 and he goes back. This guy cannot lead this team into any playoff series and win against a more active and flexible team. And even with my own optimism of the future prospects, when they arrive, I don't have any confidence Evason is going to utilize them properly.

Friday lights shining bright, time to bust out the booze, put on the dance shoes and get shitfaced.
Apologies in advance to the mods for all the cussing, hot takes and overly emotional stuff that may be posted on my part.
Let´s f***ing go wild!

Dean heard me, exactly the lineup I suggested :D

Johansson is the perfect veteran linemate for Rossi and Boldy imo. There will also be less pressure on the kids.

Kap and Zucc know each other inside out, those two should figure out problems together. I'm sure they will.

3 more years......

Hoping it's a lot sooner for Dean, and if a new coach comes in and plays Zuccarello where he belongs, it would kill both birds with one stone

Should also probably say I don't trust Guerin to bring in a coach that isn't a meatball

I being the forever contrarian (not sure if thats really the right term here) ... but it would be really ideal to have a player Zuccarello by the key piece of the 3rd line on a team has 3 skilled lines + 1 energy line. That would be a playoff team.

So can't wait until a prospect like Yurov replaces him ... but if we seen anything how Dean utilizes Boldy (who is a better player than Yurov will be), I doubt we will ever see it happen...

Here's a test for Dean, will he yank the leash as soon Zucc f***s up cause you know Zucc is going to f*** up.

Then Zucc and Kap should be the 2nd line with fewer minutes. They don't deserve more time over the other guys who have skated circles around their lazy, clueless arses.
