Boldy leads all offensive categories for Wild.

IIRC Boldy was one guy we were interested in that draft but Zegras fell to us. Some time after the draft it seemed a no-brainer that Zegras will be much better, but now we see the reality a bit different.

Albeit who knows what wouldve happened if we hired a coach that does try to help Zegras flourish instead of trying to make him into a defensive forward

Yeah I can’t fault management on that one. Zegras was a fine pick, there have just been factors since (player and team) that have pushed him off course)

Tonight will be different…… I will be drinking for this one.

 

[AngelDuck]

By tomorrow night another ducks season will be in the books

Sad, but also ready for the offseason. Pretty curious to see where Verbeek goes from here

 

[Big Fat Rebound]

Given these guys gave up 4 goals in 8 minutes to a Colorado AHL team playing for nothing, I’m terrified as to what an actual desperate team looking to wrap up a playoff spot will put up

Going to have a lot of spectators for this tonight with Calgarys playoff hopes hanging on the result of this game. I know flames fans are used to disappointment but I'm sure this will be another level for them with the ducks veterans thinking more about their tee times than hockey.

So grab a ranch water!!!

 

[Static]

Looking forward to watching two new guys who will be motivated to play hard.

I'm disappointed that the end of this season is really leaving a bad taste in my mouth. For the most part, this year has at least been watchable and sometimes even very entertaining. We have had that, I think, twice in the last seven years.

This is where I'm at. The last month or so has been frustrating, but interspersed with nice moments. That game against the Avs was puke. I'd like to win these next two and go into the offseason with a nice feeling.

 

[Arthuros]

Ugh, the Wild.

Ugh, the Wild.

The standard by which the playoff line is measured

[HanSolo]

Bummer. Laguna Niguel born kid getting his debut against the Ducks would have been awesome.

 

[ohcomeonref]

Washe is exactly what some of us were looking for when it comes to re-vamping the 4th line. Hopefully he works out.

That's a lot of hot dish.

Agree.

It’s not like picking Nick Ritchie instead of David Pastrnak, or Alex Tuch, or Dylan Larkin.

Normally we play down to our opponents so I would expect us to be better in a game like tonight, but it seems pretty clear that the vets (and several of the young guys recently) have checked out so yeah, could get ugly.

I would honestly love to lose like 6-1 both tonight and tomorrow. I want the vibe around Cronin to be as low as possible at this point.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Minnesota is a team we usually look bad to awful against. Similar to STL, Kings, Calgary I feel like they suffocate us.

Did a quick search and looks like we have two wins against them since the beginning of the Covid season.
