Minnesota Wild General Discussion 2024-25

  • Xenforo Cloud has upgraded us to version 2.3.6. Please report any issues you experience.
So Zucc is sick (flu symptoms), questionable for tomorrow. Same with Gaudreau.

Spurgeon to IR. Kaprizov still day to day.

Lambos, Boyd and Gaunce recalled.
 
So we're capable of winning even without Kap, Spurgs, Faber and Gus (was pulled last game).

So either we're incredibly lucky or this team is actually not as bad as some thought. Even I used to say that this team was carried by Gus & Kap. Maybe that statement isn't so true at all?

It was the blues , relax. Let me know when we win a game against the jets or knights or Avs even when we’re healthy.

We got lucky last night.

But, we now have two legit Cs for first time. And we have a lot of good defensive forwards in Foligno, Ek, Rossi, Gaudreau, Marat, Boldy, Trenin.

People underestimated the impact Faber would have. We sucked last year but basically added a 1D. Now Spurgeon is properly placed and we have a Top 5 blueline. A bounceback year was obviously coming, provided we got decent goaltending, which we have.

Yeah. We are bad against the good teams in the Central.

So far.

Record against Avs and above is currently 1-3-1
1-1-0 against the Stars
0-2-1 against the Jets
0-0-0 against the Avs

There are a couple games against the Avs coming up, so we'll see so how the Wild do against them. The record is far from irredeemable yet.

Their record against teams currently in playoff position as of today is a very respectable 12-8-1.
They need to be able to beat the best teams in their division, but this body of work shows they at least have the ability to play to that level.

Carried by Rossi and Zucc, with Boldy coming out of his yearly 1 month funk too. Also, Gordie back was huge

I really like our chances if we could skip rounds 1-3 to face an Eastern team. :jump:

I wish they would just seed thr conferences 1 to 8. This division stuff was a change that never needed to happen.

That was bad even as far as funks go, I never remember him ever taking penalties like that before.
 
Russo speculating Faber left due to a hit in the head from Neighbors in his first shift of the game. So assuming concussion?
 
Dr Jan Itor said:
Weird how most funks coincide with low shooting percentages.

Well, it was a low number of shots he was taking as well. From both the numbers and my eyes telling me the story, he wasn't getting to the high danger areas with the puck, so he wasn't shooting as often, and when he was shooting they were low danger leading to a lower shooting percentage.
