HAhaha in light of what everyone was saying about Steph Veillieux, i invite you to read Gogol's HF profile:
HAhaha in light of what everyone was saying about Steph Veillieux, i invite you to read Gogol's HF profile:
Worcester Sharks season ticket holder here - that profile is pretty much spot on - except for the fan fav part. People here either liked (not loved) or hated him. Too many stupid penalties. He thinks he's a fighter and that gets him into trouble. He's lost more than he's won. A few times he's had his teammates tell him to **** before he got a misconduct for yapping at the refs or not stopping the ****-stirring when told to do so. He should just stick to being the classic pest, and draw the penalties, or let someone else fight for him.
But on the upside, he really seemed to pick up his game this year. He appears to be much faster. He's go no issues going into the corners. He's done PK for us as well, and has worked on his backchecking with that new speed he's got. He'll always work hard and never take a shift off.
Naw, no problem. Avder did it too, which I found quite funny.

Stop tweeting me, #mnwild fans. I can give you a list of things in your life to be stressed over. Chad Rau for Curt Gogol is not one of them

Sadly, doesn't shock me
It worries me that people care so much about a player who was never ever gonna play for the Wild just because he's from the state.
Gotta get over this crush we have for hometown boys. They're no better than guys from Canada or elsehwhere
I'm guessing those who are complaining think the Wild traded away his more talented younger brother who isn't even a Wild asset.
Maybe I'm the only one who thinks Kyle won't fare much better than his brother in the pros.
Rau wasn't really in IA's plan this season. Giving him a new opportunity probably was the best move they could have done. Not to mention, IA GM Jim Mill said that he wasn't going to be in their call-up plans.
According to him, Gogol is a key for the Wild.
Did he, though? That's the question.I'm surprised how much Rau dropped off.
