One of my favourite things to pop up on the internet lately.

I always get a giggle out of real tough guy shirts like they mean anything.

Anyway, we already got our one win this decade in Minnesota. Hopefully there's a second miracle in there.

I thought that the Wild would crater without Kaprizov, but they are still winning games and some against actual good teams.

It always seems to be Kaprizov that causes us major problems, so I don't think it's reasonable to write this one off like normal Wild games with him being out. I think we need to get the W here, because the Avalanche game will be a chore with it being the 3rd in 4, second of a back to back, and at high altitude.

I'd start Skinner against the Wild and try and get the points in the game that we'll probably be better positioned to win.

Remember Wild have some absurdly good young up, Rossi, Boldy, Faber, and maybe even Jiricek if he improves to his draft stature. Kaprizov actually has a very good core around him.

Not that I think any of those are bad players, I just don't see any of them as needle movers without a catalyst around them. Boldy more so than the others.

Outside of Kaprizov, their lineup up front is just a whole lot of "decent" IMO. Lots of guys with some game, but not star or elite game. The only time my butt clenches playing them is when Kaprizov is on the ice.

Watching the Wild play Vegas the other night was like watching hockey die. For two periods at least. Then Minny died and Vegas took over. For much of the game it looked like both teams weren't even remotely capable of scoring a goal and that it wasn't the intent of hockey.

In fairness neither Kaprisov or Eichel were playing but man it was some dim viewing.

It was. Even with an electrifying player like Kaprizov, Minny still can't shake the boring hockey characteristic they had for a very long time.

Not even sure the boys need me for this game

Skinner been rocking it in net. Let's see how far he can go !

 

[McAsuno]

Hope the boys didn't forget that dirty shit from Hartman last game.

Will be a very interesting stretch here.

Three really good teams (well maybe not Vancouver ) where we slaughtered all three of them in their home barns last time we played them (by a combined score of 18-5) with the 3 games being played in 4 nights while finishing off what is Game 6, 7 and 8 of what was essentially an 8 game road trip played over 15 days (also the 9th game in 16 days which represents the busiest 16 day stretch of the entire schedule for Edmonton only to be repeated again in the final 9 games of the schedule).

Basically a scheduled losing streak. Hopefully the team can find a way to grab at least 3 points out of this.

Some good news-

Oil call up Philp and hopefully he gets a run of a few games here.
