Kaprizov vs Doughty
Wake up, Doughty, it's 2021.
Kaprizov vs Doughty
No question that MN is by far the #1 hockey state. It's like football in Texas.Two points:
1) The term "State of Hockey" is just a slogan created by the Wild's marketing department back in 2000. It's corny and I almost wish they never came up with it.
2) Hockey at all levels (youth, high school, NCAA and NHL) is extremely popular in Minnesota. Per capita, my bet is that there more hockey fans in Minnesota than any other state in the US. How many other states have a similar number nationally ranked NCAA programs within their borders, an NHL team, AND a high school tournament that packs 18,000+ fans in the building?
couple of ridiculous plays tonight that didn't find the scoresheet. He seems tp have a few of these every game.
He was hooked on that play. It was shown on another angle, and it was really obvious. Lizard was complaining a lot to the refs afterwards, who were reluctant to call it because they had just called one on LA.You've been a bad doy, Zucc, a bad boy for not scoring there
Hence theHe was hooked on that play. It was shown on another angle, and it was really obvious. Lizard was complaining a lot to the refs afterwards, who were reluctant to call it because they had just called one on LA.
hmmHe was a monster again last night, looks like he could be near the Panarin level which is not something many expected. What a time to be a Wild fan.
For those who haven't seen him, his play style reminds me of Crosby. Same wide , strong, base, and great vision. Probably a tad less skilled, but who knows? He has only played 20 games or so in the NHL.
Still thou... each year it gets less and less likely that he will sign an NHL contract with the Wild.
He now plays for a team that competes from the Gagarin Cup each season,
why would he join the Wild and play for a team that doesn't have a chance to play for the Stanley Cup?.
What a draft. Not only was the depth terrific, so were the top picks. One of the best top 10s ever:Looking back, seems like it was a a very good 5th round in 2015. Garland, Bear, Simon,Terry, Gaudette, Balcers, Kaprizov....
Zacha is starting to look good aswell. Very good draft.What a draft. Not only was the depth terrific, so were the top picks. One of the best top 10s ever:
- McDavid
- Eichel
- Dylan Strome
- Marner
- Hanifin
- Zacha
- Provorov
- Werenski
- Meier
- Rantanen
And Strome is starting to look bad.Zacha is starting to look good aswell. Very good draft.
