Well the one positive about this team is that they win or lose in 60. They want nothing to do with extra curriculars
I think we got lucky they didn’t review our tying goal. Looked like 2 guys were offsides
I forget how brutal the Wilds cap situation is. They're still eating almost $15 million in dead cap between Suter and Parise. They gotta eat that number next year as well and then it goes down to a much more manageable $1.6 million until 28-29.
Our whites are the best. They’re so beautiful and that’s from someone who grew up with the goathead.BTW, those North Stars throwbacks were sensational.
That made for a GREAT looking game.
I consider the Sabres road (white) set the best of the non-Orginal Six team sets.
Finally saw the replay of that. I was more taken by Dahlin fumbling away the breakaway. Granted it was on his off side, but his bad hands at the blue line are becoming more frequent again like in his first few seasons. It was the first thing that ever worried me about him.Can someone help me understand how UPL getting taken out low isnt a trip? Puck is gone, player dove to initiate contact, legs taken out.
Idk, seems like a trip to me

I'm trying not to become overly critical of him, but with the standard of being in the conversation for best D in the league, his skill abandons him too often at inopportune times. He's whiffing on too many pucks, seems to not be sure-handed with his head up, etc. I think/hope it's mainly a confidence issue, but I'd like to see him rededicate himself to some fundamental skill work in the off-season.
The PK will be able to shut down just about any attack if it's predictable and they have time to prepare for it. The PP units should be able to execute on several different strategies (including setting up the one-timer) and be able to make in-game adjustments depending on what the PK is giving.Not really. The Ovie office crap doesn't work. The league hss adjusted. Yet they keep trying it instead of exploiting a size advantage to work pucks low.

It's like they are poorly coached, drilled and prepared or something...Not just Dahlin. I see WAY too many tape-to-tape passes bouncing off of recepient's sticks. And then there are WAY too many "easy" passes (ESPECIALLY out of the zone) that guys miss on that other teams don't miss.
There are fundamental issues with these guys that pop up way too often for this team to be truly competitive.
Great comment! I wanted to ask (then forgot) which franchise - Stars or Wild - should rightfully own that color scheme?BTW, those North Stars throwbacks were sensational.

"I don't want him (her), you can have him (her), (s)he's too fat for me..."Guys, in case you didn’t hear, I have officially broken up with Jeff Skinner. We’ve been separated for months, almost the entire season really. I’m just making it official. He’s all yours.
