Minnesota Wild General Discussion 2024-25

[NHL1674]

Russo said he is pretty sure it is a groin injury on Worst Seats. Easy to aggravate those

Brings back memories of Gabby's glass groin.

Did anyone see the cowboy hat they are giving away? I want that soooo bad

 

[Prior]

I can’t imagine wanting a cowboy hat.

 

[BagHead]

I can’t imagine wanting a cowboy hat.

I had a cowboy hat for a while, just after Red Dead Redemption came out. It even looked like John Marston's, minus the feather. It was the only time I've wished I lived in the south instead of Minnesota, just so I could wear it without drawing weird looks. Seems to me that you just need the right cowboy hat. Black leather, heavy, and warm, I loved it.

Yeah, but I'd rather not look like a twat

[GordieGallant]

Canada about to lose. Sweet!!

Of course that were screwed by the referees

 

[Forsbergaura21]

Any updates on Spurgeon? Is he out long term?


Thanks

Not as bad as they thought, week to week.

Vegas beaver is expensive

Russo said he saw Ek limping bad after the game and asked Hynes about it and Hynes said no....I didn't see that, you know more than me.....

When I was young i picked up a Borsalino at a thrift store. Loved that hat, and when you're young you don't give a crap what people think, or at least I didn't. Sort of a stylish Italian cowboy hat.

You're mistaken Russo, he has to walk that way because of the size of his balls.

 

[Minnewildsota]

Why would Ek have to walk that way because the size of Russo's balls?

Let's get back to talking about hats, guys...

 

[BagHead]

Let's get back to talking about hats, guys...

I've got a winter hat that hasn't fallen apart for 23 years, and I wear it every year as my main hat. I've never even had to resew anything. I just wash it a couple of times per winter, and it never dies. It's super warm, thick, and even matches my eyes. A simple, low maintenance, durable item that I never have to buy again - that makes it my favorite hat. I've never had any item of clothing last like my unkillable hat has.

When the top guys return, who should all be on the top power play unit?

 

[Nino Noderreiter]

When the top guys return, who should all be on the top power play unit?

I personally think I would like:

Kaprizov (halfwall/high slot)
Boldy (halfwall/high slot)
Rossi (net/side of the net)
Faber
Chisholm

I think both Faber and Chisholm do a really good job of flowing and rotating through the offensive zone and both make really quick decisions.

I would still have Zuccarello in for either Faber or Chisholm, so the other one can work the second unit.

Rossi
Kaprizov
Boldy
Zuccarello
Faber

Eriksson Ek
Hartman
Gaudreau
Johansson
Chisholm

Eh, put Spurgeon on the second unit. I don't really like Zuccarello on that unit... he's not really mobile and takes a long time to make decisions. He can command and have the second unit run through him.

 

[Luceni]

The ideal spot for Rossi on the PP would be Zucc's spot, imo. So when everybody is healthy, put him there on the 2nd PP. Or you put Zucc onto the 2nd PP, which we all know won't happen.

So my PP Lineup would be:

PP Unit 1:
Ek
Kaprizov
Boldy
Zuccarello
Faber

PP Unit 2:
Hartman
Johansson
Freddy / Ohgren
Rossi
Chisholm

 

[Sad People]

Any news on Ek?

 

[57special]

Let's face it, it's;

PP1
Kaprizov + 4 other people

PP2
Who cares?

I was curious on if people would have Rossi in over Boldy/Zucc. It was brought up on Worst Seats if Rossi could take Boldy’s spot on the top power play unit.

What about dropping Boldy to PP2 with Rossi?

Zucc, Ek, Kap, Mojo, Faber &
Boldy, Rossi, Freddy, Chisholm, Hartman

Mojo provides the zone entries and more touches for 36&97. Add more pop to PP2, while also sending a message to Boldy to get his s*** together
