Bad idea is bad.

Don't post ****** thing again please.

Eh?

 

[MK9]

Eh?

I second that.

What's that now?

 

[Wasted Talent]

I second that.

What's that now?

My awful April Fools joke, you didn't miss anything

 

[Haite]

Probably that April Fool's trade jokes etc. aren't allowed. Worth noting, though, that Wasted Talent was talking about a mistake made in a Finnish article and it wasn't necessarily April 1st dependent, albeit it did fit nicely.

 

[Randy BoBandy]

Ok. Refresh my admittedly poor memory. What'd they do the year or two prior?

And unless they put it together soon, this year isn't looking so great.

What does it matter what they did a 2 years ago. They are a great team with a TON of depth. The problem for them has been goaltending this year. They could easily go on a streak at any time.

They play the Wild tough every game and I expect tonight to be no different.

Wild lose
3-2

I completely agree with the bolded portion.

As far is the rest of it, I'm honestly just not convinced. Same as the Avs. I'm not denying they've got good young players. They obviously do. But, they've really yet to do anything to make anyone sit up and take major notice really of anything. And I don't get the feeling (as I didn't with the Avs) it's really going to gel and go anywhere. If you do, great. The media and all the announcers verbally ******* them anytime there is a game on. So obviously you're not alone. I just don't think they're as great as advertised.

They've done more than we have.

This is also mostly the same team that got them the 109 points last season.

Let's also keep in mind that our last week and a half has not been all that great. Our d has looked pretty bad overall, and our goaltending has been some of the worst it's been all year.

This game really could go either way.

 

[Randy BoBandy]

They have Piet and Shattenkirk two of the best young D-men in the league. Arguably the best rookie forward in Tarasenko. Then Oshie, Perron, Steen, Backes, McDonald, Stewart, Berglund are all great players. I love their roster.

 

[MuckOG]

With Oshie out of the line-up, I like the Wild's chances even more.

 

[BigT2002]

We play to the level of team we are going against. Phoenix should have been a walk in the park and it took a last minute heroic effort from Suter to tie it and Koivu to win it in OT.

I'm going 4-2 us. Seto, Heatley, Koivu, and Brodin

Suter with 4 assists

So...let me reiterate:

I'm not denying they've got good young players. They obviously do.

But whatever else I said, at this point I stand by it.

 

[Quicy]

I still remember David Perron embarrassing the Wild last game.

 

[DeuceMN]

I still remember David Perron embarrassing the Wild last game.

And the game before that, and the game before that...

If I were Yeo, I'ld tell Stoner and Konopka that they are to play that dude like glue all game long and staple his ass to the boards every chance they can get.

 

[TaLoN]

Wild win a close one 3-2.

 

[Fel 96]

No Oshie?

Well, I like our chances tonight.

 

[INTOTHEVOID]

I wonder how many times it will still get mentioned Oshie played highschool hockey in Minnesota even when he's not playing!

 

[TaLoN]

Oshie is such a good player, too bad he's so injury prone...

 

[Karl]

Crazy to think this is the last month of the regular season. Wild are playing at home, if they want to play past April they need to win at home. Period. Wild win 4-2

 

[DeuceMN]

I wonder how many times it will still get mentioned Oshie played highschool hockey in Minnesota even when he's not playing!

Well if Greenlay has his way, and it were a drinking game, we'll all be drunk before the game starts

 

[NHL1674]

Just gonna say this.....DON'T UNDERESTIMATE YOUR OPPONENT TONIGHT.

 

[Kaptain]

This is one we should win.
Anything can happen though.

 

[Avder]

I like our chances tonight, especially with Oshie out.

But I really want to see the Defense show up again. They've been absent for too long.

 

[Engebretson]

I might actually be able to post in this GDT tonight. Huzzah!

I'm predicting we win by a goal.

 

[THEALLKNOWING*]

Can you imagine Gorg's prep for this game? He is going to be beside himself with the Minnesota mention possibilities. My guess he's going to go after Leipold for the 2nd intermission, due to the trade. He can talk about where he's from, being a Gopher, and winning tge national championship.
