Post-Game Talk: Rangers @ Wild

[bl02]

Put us in any other division in the league and I think we have a 50/50 shot to make the playoffs. With the flyers having a real coach and the jackets performing miracles the metro is just ridiculous

 

[The Crypto Guy]

We need to lose more games. We can win games next year

 

[Crash Davis]

Panarin with that chel 2004 goal

 

[egelband]

The Miniscrotum Wild.

 

[bl02]

This win > draft position

I tend to agree especially if Shesterkin is gonna play like he’s playing. This team won’t end up bottom 7/8

Exactly. If we are in the west we are 2 points out of a playoff spot. It sucks the metro is so good.

This Wild team still smells like Lemaire.

If you kids out there want to know what hockey was like in the mid to late 90s, look no further.

The Wild have always been preservationists of boring hockey. It's why we love them and are sad for them.

Also may I steal the phrase "smells like Lemaire" and use it all the time?

I ain’t rooting for them to lose. Fate will decide where they end up.

Hell put us in the Atlantic. Florida or Toronto don’t scare me.

 

[Rempe73]

nice. @Buchnevich89

Oh I didn’t even see that haha

 

[GoAwayGiannone]

What a nice Character Building™ win! All I needed to see was a Kakko/Chytil goal and baby, we've got a stew.

This win > draft position

No. It’s really not. And, on top of that, ITS NOT EVEN CLOSE

Rewarding a team of kids for looking like hammered dog poo for 60 mins doesn’t do anything for #morale or #winningculture

 

[Pawnee Rangers]

Yea but I doubt we’ll feel the same once draft day comes.

Awful mentality. Losers attitude

 

[bl02]

Kakko zero time in the overtime. I understand but I don’t understand the decision at the same time lol

 

[DaBadGuy7]

I would agree if this draft wasn’t considered as good as if not better than 2003. Luckily, if Rangers stay around 10-12 spot they can still draft a good player.

I weep for you. You should try being part of a team someday.

What are you even talking about? They outplayed Minny the last 2 periods and by a wide margin in the second.

 

[Riche16]

Voted Panarin (always do) and Fox because I thought literally everyone else was awful or invisible

 

[will1066]

The Wild can go purify themselves in the waters of Lake Minnetonka

 

[Off Sides]

Buch last couple games is showing the ability to take a hit to make a play, show some strength, also going to the net and has some points.

Not totally sold but there is some improvement there.

 

[Rempe73]

Awful mentality. Losers attitude

I get that. I would rather have our young players progress than have a consistent losing culture, but I just really like Byfield and some of the other top forwards. And also I don’t want to be stuck in mediocrity. We need one more impact forward imo. Preferably a center.

 

[RickChartraw]

Last year I was rooting for losses. This year is different, such a young team...wins like this are nice.

Played through college but thanks for ur tears

 

[Maximus]

Did that really happen...a win in a game we were totally dominated?

Rare indeed but it did happen and tho likely undeserved, we'll take it as we snatched a victory from the jaws of defeat or something like that...lol

That Panarin shootout goal let's be honest, that should have been waved off but the Wild didn't score anyways.

Well that's 6 W's in the last 8 games and my hope that the boys will be playing meaningful games in the month of March would would be tremendous experience for our kids really does look like it's going to happen.

One last thing. Tho Georgie didn't have his A game, he showed how resilient he is as he made some big saves in the 3rd period and the OT to keep us in it.

I don't know what else to say...we stole one tonight but after losing plenty of games where we have dominated and lost f*** it...we'll take it gladly!!...

I bet your team sucked.
