Minnesota Wild General Discussion - 2023-24

Skimming through B's GDT, some of the posters wanted Maroon on their team as a tough guy, some even wanted Foligno. Some claimed to have wanted Foligno for a number of years now. Most people thought MAF was great, and I even read some who seemed to REALLY want Midds on their team.
Just thought that was funny, as many people here would do anything to get rid of those guys, except for maybe Midds.
But pretty please Foligno, they want you badly. Why not ask for a trade? ;)

I might be more inclined to want some of those guys too if they weren't all I had on my team and my team was also a true Cup contender. Like I think it's the equivalent of me wanting a McAvoy or Pastrnak as a Wild fan.

Maroon at 800K to a team lacking toughness, but having all else, would be a nice add. LAK would be perfect. BOS is less tough than it used to be, too.

Foligno would be a good add for many teams, though his contract length is not appealing. For us it's near appalling, considering our cap situation next year.

Toughness is still a thing, but in it's proper place.

Middleton has really stepped up in Spurge and Brodin's absence. If he had better footspeed going backwards and laterally he'd be a damn good Dman. He's actually ok going forward. As is he's an ok #4 who adds toughness... he is really tough. I'm not sure that he couldn't take Foligno in a fight.

So true. Diamonds to some, rust to others.
 
Hockey fan here, B's game was exciting for who stood out. Faber, Rossi, KK and Boldy. Maybe BG knows what he is doing. I am still skeptical. Several other WC teams on significant upticks especially LAK, DAL, ARIZ and ANA .
 
Omg. There are no tough guys on Wild. Kane wasted Bacon and absolutely NOTHING happened. Duhaime went after guy who beat up Dewar. Maybe a draw? Hardly retribution.
Play hard. Win the game.
If you need some North Stars fighting videos I’m sure there are tons on net. Players can’t really police themselves anymore. Game is way too fast and refs already have Wilds number as “ heavy dirty” team. So just penalties on a PK that is tenuous at best.
Foligno had his face broken in a fight before. . Had a cage. Got his goal for the month.
Duhaime was concussed.
Little Hartzy is hurt every second game.
Grit is fine when mixed with speed and quick decisions.

Foligno is definitely tough, he just gets wound up over dumb shit.
 
Excitable + dumb= penalties
Don’t test revitalized PK
Play hard. Score goals. Win the game.
Take a number. Pick your spots cleverly.
Fans will be happy with moose fighting for a short period. Wins are the goal.

Besides Moose isn’t really needed with Rossi the enforcer kicking ass. 😊

You do realize Hartman went right at Kane after the hit, right?

I couldn't find it on Hockey Fights website so it must have been short? Jus one lame fight from October with Duhaime. What was the outcome? Was Kane hurt? Doesn't feel like players like Bacon are getting protected by the refs. Dirty hits on the numbers seem commonplace...And that includes Foligno when he goes braindead once in awhile.

Went after him, but I don’t recall a fight.
 
Kane is a very tough fighter. Only guys who can survive a fight with him are Foligno, Maroon, and maybe Middleton.
