Yeah it's pretty shocking that the Wild are one of the top teams off the backs of Kaprizov and Gus

In the old days, it would be a case of knocking on the door one year, and breaking it down the next, but I don't see it with EDM. Maybe if they get a hot goalie, but you could say that about a few teams. Too top heavy, and i think they got worse, not better, during the off season.
Finally beating us badly (with the help of all of our injuries) and beating the Knights has them acting like they're up on a pedestal above everyone else. It's hilarious, but sad. You can see their insecurities. All those years of tanking with poor results, but hey.....they almost.....almost won the Cup last year. So that's something I guess. 
I'm not throwing any stones, at least till we win one playoff series. Actually we could do a lot worse than play EDM.Finally beating us badly (with the help of all of our injuries) and beating the Knights has them acting like they're up on a pedestal above everyone else.

It's hard for Wild fans to laugh at other franchises. But Jesus, they've had McDavid and Draisaitl in their prime for several years now and still managed it not to win the cup.
That remembers me: Hockey is a teamsport & defense/goaltending also matters.

Oh for sure.....us not winning a playoff series is expected. But we haven't been swimming in #1 draft picks for years. I sure as heck wouldn't put us up on a pedestal right now. Just funny how mighty they can act when they really don't have much hardware to show for their years of tanking.

I wish him success because I love seeing talented players across the league, but I agree - glad the Wild didn’t trade for him. Too streaky and he’s bound to fall back to earth.

No it isn't. I'll dog my own favorite team when necessary, but at no point do I ever feel bad or out of line laughing at other teams and their ridiculousness. Edmonton. Maple Leafs. Montreal. Vancouver. All laughable.

To be fair I would trade this entire organization to be able to go back and draft him and have him from the start

It's an embarrassment that the Hawks are in it again. And judging by the score, they aren't doing a great job of showcasing Bedard. Well done, Gary.

Why would you? It's like the 8th time Chicago has been in it.

Well the only logical thing to do is keep giving them Winter Classics until their win percentage is respectable
STL has to be happy with Dylan Holloway's 14g, 12a in 39gp.
