The biggest test will be how active Guerin is at the TDL to add depth scoring

There was a big test this summer and he decided to dump 4M on whatever Tronion is. What a massive failure that’s been and you might say it’s only 4M but that cap space could have been used at the deadline this year.

Took a swing on trying to fix our biggest problem and missed. Happens.

When is Ek supposed to be back?

Wild struggle against teams good on faceoffs like Dallas and Vegas. Our PK sucks because we can’t win a draw in our own end.

 

[north21]

Had to unblock him just to remind my self how much of a goof this guy is. You can all snort his unicorn fart dust.

I'll call a spade a spade.

Lost 3 of the last 5, there was bound to be an outburst.

 

[ctmagic]

I hear it only affects you for 3 good months.

He’s got Chronic Fialacosis, no cure

 

[BagHead]

It’s the same song and dance every single year. You all can buy in and blow unicorn farts up each others asses. I’ll call a spade a spade.

Let me ask you something. If the Wild somehow make it to the Cup finals, will you feel excitement or dread?

I will probably be entertained and excited.

 

[Arturia Pendragon]

Then please, no matter what, stay away from the unicorns.

I think it will be a while considering he still hasn't started skating.

 

[BagHead]

I will probably be entertained and excited.

Ok, then why not feel that way now? It's the same team.

 

[AKL]

Not to say I agree or disagree one way or the other, but we've seen this before, where the team excels in the regular season only to fizzle out immediately once the playoff starts. This isn't new territory nor is it the ultimate goal, and the team has only proven that they will let you down if you get your hopes up.

Making the Cup finals is completely different, it's uncharted territory for this team, and it's what you ultimately strive for. I completely understand being skeptical of this, now, while recognizing that if they do actually prove you wrong and make the Cup finals, you'd be excited and entertained.

Ok, I can see your point and I think it's a fair one, so maybe we need to narrow it in. Should we only get excited by the 3rd round of the playoffs? That leaves an awful lot of time where I'm not allowed to enjoy watching successful moments.

I don't understand being overly excited or gloomy at this point in the year. I'm happy they've won a lot, I understand they will likely regress to some degree, and I really don't care if they do. I want to see them win, but I won't lose sleep if they get swept in the first round of the playoffs and I won't lose sleep if they don't even make the playoffs. I might lose sleep if they win the Cup, but that'll be because I'm celebrating with friends and is a very different type of sleep loss.

 

[AKL]

Should we only get excited by the 3rd round of the playoffs?

I personally think that's up to each individual person and I don't necessarily think there's any right or wrong answer. I don't think anyone should tell you how to feel about the team and I don't think anyone should tell ben how to feel about the team either.

This.

One of the important lessons I’ve learned in life is to only worry about things that you can control. Honestly, life has been much more pleasurable since that realization.

Favorite sports team isn’t living up to expectations? Oh well, go find something else that brings you joy.

Enjoy the good times. Don’t fret the bad times; just find something else to give your attention.

Warms my heart reading this

I enjoy watching sports , I also enjoy playing the satirical role of perpetually grumpy pessimist who hates everything about everything lol.

What else could you be as a 44 year old having spent your entire life in MN. I’ve witnessed some of the most pathetic sporting existence in the world and very little actual success.

I like watching the Wild win , the issue is when the bulk of the winning comes against bad teams and the games against good teams are the same result year in and year out.

That would be fine if there was some coherent vision for what the front office is building towards but I’m just not seeing it.

F7, I say this with nothing but love.
But you make this way more complicated than it needs to be.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I can be entertained by something to today without needing to worry about 4-5 months from now.

Also, it helps that I don't truly care if we ever win the Cup.

if my fav sports team is losing, die die die everybody die!
