GDT: Game 4: Wild @ Ducks - 8:30 PM CT - NBCSN

[Lapa]

​

Tuesday was supposed to be an off day in Southern California for the Wild.
And while players got some time alone in their hotel rooms, general manager Bill Guerin was hard at work, acquiring defenseman Ian Cole in a trade with the Colorado Avalanche.
Defenseman Greg Pateryn was headed the other way.
Guerin is familiar with Cole from his days as Assistant GM with the Pittsburgh Penguins, where Cole played for three seasons and was a part of two Stanley Cup Championships from 2015-18.
Cole is expected to be in the lineup and make his Wild debut on Wednesday when it plays the Anaheim Ducks at the Honda Center.

Uh not another one

 

[HotDish]

it would be neat if Cole could get a point in his debut. Do you know for sure he is playing or could hunt find himself in the lineup. My preference is Cole, but I could see them trying Hunt since he has been with the team and I could see them throwing him out on the PP.

[HotDish]

Cole is playing too, I only say that because I was wondering if he would play or Hunt would.

 

[EXTRAS]

Bow down for king kahk.

 

[57special]

So what's Kahkonen's nick name?

Predicting KK and KK as players of the game.

 

[a79krgm]

Good luck to Kähkönen. Also, want to see Nico Sturm get one. He's working hard and deserving.

 

[EXTRAS]

Big Kahk

The Big Kahk Cometh...

 

[Minnewildsota]

The Big Kahk Cometh...

Oh God Yes. The Big Kahk is coming.

 

[Prior]

Poor innuendos aside, should be a W.

Option for tonight.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Might win. Might not.

 

[Webster]

How smart is it to play Kahkonen when we can't even solve Gibson?

 

[Minnesnota]

Nice lighting.

 

[DeagleJenkins]

How smart is it to play Kahkonen when we can't even solve Gibson?

We can’t worry about that both goalies need to play and for all we know Kahk is better for us. Time will tell he still needs to play.

 

[AKL]

How smart is it to play Kahkonen when we can't even solve Gibson?

Oh yeah I forgot what a prolific goal scorer Cam Talbot is

 

[Blue Ox]

The Ducks are playing Ryan Miller.

 

[AKL]

The Ducks are playing Ryan Miller.

Damn I gotta change my prediction in the other thread, thanks for the heads up

 

[Webster]

The Ducks are playing Ryan Miller.

Good, then Kahkonen makes sense. Interesting backup goalie duel tonight..

For any game where the Wild play the Ducks, there should be a 'Can you stay awake til the 3rd period?' prediction thread. Watching the Ducks is like watching pond water hoping it'll do something interesting.

I like when you can see the fish pop up to the surface to eat something that's floating
