You're finally getting it...

 

[Wabit]

@Wabit called it.

I was just following the coach's tendencies. He didn't juggles lines last year for an injuries, just plug and play the next man up.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Lines for Columbus 8 games ago, for reference:

Normal 1st line
Foligno - JEE - Boldy
Greenway - Gaudreau - Duhaime
Normal 4th line

As part of the group that wasn't "trashing" these lines (and still isn't), I'm a tad confused because they look pretty normal, but I also don't read through Russo twitter replies.

The lines have also averaged 2.25 goals per game since the Columbus game (maybe even less if some of the "goals" are shootout wins), so without .950+ goaltending, I'd have to wonder how many regulation losses we might have.

I think this might Russo slipping into a little bit of drama-queen mode on this one.

It's also the right thing to do if they expect Kaprizov back before the playoffs, at least to start.

I don't know about drama queen in this instance (I'm usually pretty harsh on Russo). He's been covering the Canes and his Wild coverage has been mostly fluff since then.

Right is a subjective or maybe a perspective thing. I'm mostly neutral on these lines, there are pros and cons that could be argued. I was just predicting what the coach would do.

Yeah, sorry, IMO.

Remember a while back when I brought up a rumored black jersey? Someone found some prototypes on eBay.

Bring back red.

 

[AKL]

Bring back red.

Depends on how it's done. I don't miss these:

There was a deeper red one right? With Minnesota Wild written along it or maybe just Minnesota? I think those were the ones i really enjoyed but i cant really remember

They might be able to do something with black. The jersey might look better if they switched the dark green with a red but id have to see it. The black and darker green just doesnt go well together.

Not that I can remember. The old, old red ones (pre-2007) were slightly different, but same basic template.

Black and red could be interesting. We'd basically just be the Devils at a certain point though.

Hmm i must be making something up then coulda sworn there was a deeper red one with Minnesota written along it like the black and green ones.

Those BHM warmup jerseys are so clean looking.

 

[AKL]

I guess if they wanna go black, I could see them lean into something like this a little bit. Depends on if they're actually cleared to keep going with the North Stars colors.

 

[Wabit]

There are a lot of strange/random things you can find from fanatics or the nhl shop.

Look at this monstrocity:

buy it here.

 

[AKL]

This one from this random tweet back in 2018

 

[DeagleJenkins]

This one from this random tweet back in 2018

i would buy that.

 

[TaLoN]

Just say no to a black jersey

 

[AKL]

Or this from that same account in 2021. I actually don't dislike this one, but I'm not sure I love it either.

 

[Wabit]

I think the black would be better with the neon retro colors somehow mixed in.

 

[Sad People]

Black needs a bright color to go along with it, imo. Black with a darkcolor isnt very aesthetically pleasing to me.

Like those black ones with the Northstar colorway that AKL posted are clean as hell.

 

[NHL1674]

No black jerseys!!!! Keep them green.

Evason after Wild's big win against the Sharks...

First game scoring 5 or more since January 7th comes in game 1 without Kaprizov. Bizarre stuff
