Minnesota Wild General Discussion XIV

[2Pair]

Final Roster. Mayhew on active as 13th forward, Bartowski to taxi squad.

I wonder if there's a reason why they wouldn't keep the kids on the taxi squad until the AHL actually starts?

AHL season is like 3 weeks away. Probably going straight to AHL training camp.

Minor point, but I don't get the fascination with Rau. When has he ever done anything?

I don't think anyone has a fascination with Rau. He's a body that could probably not get anihilated if he was forced into short 4th line work. They also don't care one bit if he sits without playing games for 5 months.

he spoke in that interview that the basics are fine and talking slower is fine its just when people talk too fast it is hard to keep up which is understandable.

I think it makes more sense to create an all Russian line...
And an all French Canadian line...
And an all Finnish line...
And an all Swedish line...

You know, so they can all talk to each other in their native tongues.

Talk about turning a mole hill into a mountain

truth hurts especially facts.

Yeah, I guess if Iowa is starting their camp in the next few days then it doesn't make much of a difference.

 

[ThatGuy22]

Gotta make sure it's a russian from Siberia as well. So they don't have different accents.

"You're awesome."

"No, you're awesome"

"You're awesome."

"No, you're awesome"

"Why don't we have any Centers?"

Fiala [in Swiss]: Hallo
Kaprisov [in Russian]: Здравствуйте

It's unfortunate they won't be able to understand each other.

I have heard that Iowa is starting to skate next week and they need a little time for housing, testing, etc

Stalock listed by the league as not able to play due to ‘COVID protocol’

Does that just mean he wouldn't be able to play tomorrow because he hasn't been through the league's testing recently? His health condition could be completely unrelated if that's the case.

No idea

No idea

There's some additional info in the press release, but we don't know the specifics obviously.
NHL.com Media Site


"Beginning today, and continuing for the balance of the season, the NHL will be sharing the names of Players who are “unavailable” to the Club (to practice, travel or play in games) due to COVID protocols. Such “COVID Protocol Related Absences” can be the result of a number of factors including, among others: (1) an initial positive test which remains unconfirmed until confirmatory testing is completed pursuant to the Positive Test Protocol; (2) mandated isolation for symptomatic individuals pursuant to the Positive Test Protocol; (3) required quarantine as a high-risk close contact in accordance with the Positive Test Protocol; (4) isolation based on a confirmed positive test result and/or; (5) quarantine for travel or other reasons as outlined in the COVID-19 Protocol."

He probably hasn't been following the protocols if he hasn't been around the team.

 

[ThatGuy22]

He probably hasn't been following the protocols if he hasn't been around the team.

Or he had to travel for treatment, etc.

Russo's initial tweets on it sure made it sound like it was injury or something else.

 

[Webster]

The league did say the identity of players who tested positive will be published.
I wonder why...shame on them?

Interesting HIPAA questions.
