Did you know that Zach Parise played at Shattuck St. Mary's, where Sidney Crosby played?
Crosby Crosby Crosby.

NBCSN Pierre McGuire Zack Parise Flowchart in bullet form:
- Zack played at Shattuck
- Sidney Crosby played there, too. Both of these guys worked really hard for their teams there, Doc.
- Nathan MacKinnon also played there. He's lighting the league on fire with his top-ranked team right now, y'know?
- Sidney Crosby set records there and won some championships after Zack was there
- Shattuck's in Faribault, Minnesota just south of here in the Twin Cities, Doc. Just a short drive.
- Hey, did you know that Sidney Crosby attended Shattuck, too? We can go right down and see his jersey hanging right outside the arena.
- Zack later played at University of North Dakota
- Jonathan Toews also played there. What a good ol' Canadian boy
- North Dakota is next to Minnesota. Heya doc, Sidney Crosby used to play in Minnesota and brought hockey to the State of Hockey in a way nobody else did before, Doc.
- Zack Parise in the NHL
- Drafted for New Jersey
- Captained them to the Stanley Cup Finals and then left in Free Agency
- Played a lot against division rival Pittsburgh Penguins and GOAT Sidney Crosby
- Yeah Sidney Crosby will be on NBCSN about 50 more times this season starting tomorrow, Doc.

I just noticed that on the Wild.com team roster page they have Dumba down has Matt. That's embarrassing.

Maybe it's just me but I think they should put his full first name in the official team website roster.

I honestly can only see 3, maybe 4 wins in that stretch and I think this is where Yeo gets fired.

This is how I see us doing.
I can't really see us doing well in that stretch, but I don't see Yeo getting fired either.

Like Daniel Heatley, Matthew Cooke, Michael Rupp and Joshua Harding? Maybe the players themselves want a say on what they're called?

I see the same thing, except maybe squeak out a win vs SJS/ANA. MAYBE.
But if the coach goes, say, 6-11 or 7-10 in that stretch, I can't see him lasting. That's not getting enough points. The Wild are in the first wild card spot right now and are dropping. If they are out of the playoffs by mid-to-late December, it's really hard to get back into it. And that's a step back from last year and Yeo is gone.

Really hope that Harding gets an Olympic nod for his play. He has the lowest GAA (1.45), third in save % (0.939), and tied for most wins among Canadian goalies.
100% comes down to if he's healthy. I'm honestly hoping his medical issue isn't what keeps them away from him. Although, knowing that market and how they "demand" excellence it'll be Broduer, Price, and Louongo lol
I'm selfishly hoping he doesn't make team and sits at home resting. His continued good play is critical to any Wild success this year.

With Granlund out long term, it's time to see what Haula can do at #2 center.
Parise - Koivu - Pominville
Nino - Haula - Heatley
Cooke - Brodziak - Coyle
Fontaine - Konopka - Mitchell
For now.

Eh? I would argue that that top line has been dominating since Pominville went back up to it. Not saying it's all Pominville's doing, but I think he's better than Coyle on that line, and Coyle seems to play the same no matter what line we put him on. Thing is, with Granlund back (whenever that happens) Pominville will also be better on the 2nd line than Coyle would be. It'll be interesting to see how things shake out at that time, now that our first line is beating teams.
In any case, once Granny is back, Haula is going to be sent back down, unless he turns into some ultra-scorer during the next couple weeks (or if we ship Dumba to Red Deer). On a side note, I did like his chemistry with Fontaine. The college line. Maybe in a few years a Lucia - Haula - Fontaine line could be good. Maybe.

Coyle is not good at center. He has a 37% FO% and his biggest asset is his strength, especially along the boards, playing Wing lets him play to his strengths.
Pominville has been better on the top line the last few games but I still would rather have Coyle there and not at Center.
