The Wild were near the top of the league for the first 6 weeks of the season. They have been dropping like dead weight ever since. I imagine it will continue with their best player out for weeks.

56 years and counting. #FireTheShanaClan!
I believe Fabor was out earlier but he hasn't hit the scoreboard much lately. One goal for January.
Pretty wild that there's a game tonight. Was a show last night at the SBA, same band also plays again tomorrow lol. Ice is gonna extra shitty tonight.

The Wednesday night game last week against CBJ also came after a few days off, the team/crowd were completely dead.

Just funny that they have to take down all the stage shit, just to put the exact same set up again Thursday. Tix for show went on sale last year, before the NHL schedule came out, so odd from the promoters side of things to not have just gotten the shows back to back.

Too bad Kaprizov isn’t playing. He’d have easily been the most entertaining player on the ice. He doesn’t do boring hockey.
We need to take advantage of his absence but they’ll still need to match the Wilds energy to pull out a win. We’ll struggle if we bring the usual effort they’ve been offering up lately.

That's our only hope. I mean if these 4 forwards taking up over half the cap can't score, it's hard to see some TDL addition being the guy that gets it done for us.

Combined for 33 goals this year.
Nylander - 28
Domi -3
Holmberg 2
We have two of them, just been an off year for OEL and Rielly in that department.
Fans don't seem to understand, that fowards play a big part in the defense too.
We can blame the D Corps all we want, but the fowards also need to be better.
Brodin being out also hurts, a lot. He is, at a minimum, a top 5 defensive Dman in the league. Spurgeon just got back from injury(ugly slew foot by L'Heureux), and is slowly getting his game back. Faber was also out with a concussion until recently.
Teams can lose top players for a week or two and get by, but eventually the absences show up on the scoresheet. You can't rely on working harder than other teams, night in, night out.
Hopefully the Leafs will have their classic colours on tonight, and not those weird black things?

He makes a lot of money but my God is Nylander earning it with those linemates

Team could really use Domi to step it up, contribute something positive.

Anybody not named Matthew's, Marner or Nylander stepping up seems like a big ask currently
Knies and McMann have been good but it's slim pickings after that
Yeah wouldn't that be nice?
He made some nice passes to Matthews when they played together for a stretch last year. I'm sure Nylander would appreciate it if Domi could get his game back together enough to do the same for him a few times tonight.
