Cardiac kids! Fun to win close games when we're outplayed and have a goalie who stands on his head. Nothing to be ashamed about. A win is a win.
My love for Gus knows no bounds.
Also... watching Freddy G on the shootout is weird. It feels a lot like when I'm on a shoot out in Nhl2k and I'm just spasticaly flailing my left thumb stick around while more calmly dragging around with my right... it works more often than not, but it sure doesn't feel like skill.

It's no different than Stewie on the SO to me. He was good at it. It's a nice skill to have, but meaningless when the Playoffs start.
Man, I forgot about Stewie in the SO. Lol.
I don't disagree. I mean, there's value so long as the NHL still has an OT SO during the regular season. the extra point can help get a team to the PO... but obviously meaningless from there. And Freddy has been, largely, useless outside of the SO this year.
Walz made a good point. I'm sure MAF is fine no matter who starts. He's a laid back guy...good, fun teammate without much of an ego. Hell, he said he was looking forward to rotating with Talbot before we moved him. Said he liked the idea of having more games off.
I think the one person who IS going to have a problem with this, especially if we make the playoffs, is Guerin. His fingerprints were all over the move to sit Talbot until the last game of the series last year.

in Texas. I tried ESPN plus . Not available.
so I listened to KFAN and it seemed the only thing I heard all game was Gustavsson “fought it off!”
Ottawa backup? Super small sample but that’s pretty incredible play. I sure hope GMBG runs with the hot hand.

Why would a GM have a problem with one of their players performing well?

You missed a good game if you like goalies playing well. The Kap line didn't show up tonight. The Boldy line was invisible. The o-zone play came from the bottom-6.
Backy yes. Gus maybe (depends on the rest of the season). Kemps and Harding no, nothing really special about their rookie years imo.

This reminded me, Boldy looked horrific in OT.
Why would we (Wild management) care about what his agent wants? I, personally, love MAF. He's a future HOF, Vezina winner, cup holder, and a genuinely cool / down to earth guy....but if his agent thinks there's something lucrative beyond this contract.... that's on him I guess.
My memories and hockey reference say otherwise, but ymmv. The first 4 seasons for harding and kuemper were at best 82 games but the numbers were very good. Wild D deserves substantial credit for that
We have different definitions of rookie. 25ish games in a season (full time backup numbers) is what I count as their rookie year.
I think MN would have had a 3 year window of being right there with CHI and LA fighting for Cups with a healthy Harding.
MN is now 2nd in the Central and 4th in the West:
-need 3p to be #1 in the West
-need 2p to be #1 in the Central
-up 2p from being WC2
-up 8p from being out of the Playoffs.
Regulation wins are the 1st tie breaker and MN is behind all but CGY (9th) of the top-9 teams in the West.
