I mean the fact Hayes is on PP1 and Malkin gets scraps and still can score better should get this coach fired..
Malkin finally has the two wingers he should vs last games line up.

Bumstrom is so ass and Hayes as his winger was just a super smooth brain move by a coach that has been wrinkle free with his brain for years.

How is Minnesota a playoff team? They look terrible lol
They're missing Kaprizov and that entire offense ran through him. It's why I think the Wild with a lot of cap back this off season will throw a ton of money at Boeser to come back home and also more scoring depth.

I have liked the Wild since expansion (same for Kraken I guess) so I watch them when I take a hiatus from watching Pens games which has been a lot the last 3 seasons.

But it's been a super down for their offense. Boldy and Rossi should have stepped up but really didn't as much as I'd hoped. Also Ek has been struggling with his injury.
 
Picked a real shit time to play like an NHL goalie, Jarry. Let's go, allow some goofy backbreaking goals please. :laugh:
Damn it!

Let me have a day with Jarry playing well and still have the team lose something like 2-1. He's a good lad, even if he's been brutal the last 2 seasons.

It should be very well noted - Ned had the same issues and eventually so did Blomqvist so I stated a while back several times - the Pens need a goalie coach change. For the sake of Blomqvist and Murashov.
 
We've beaten several playoff teams that look terrible for a game this year. 5-2 vs Leafs, 5-1 vs Kings, 5-3 vs Edmonton...

But yeah, no Kaprizov seems to wreck them.
No Kaprizov, Ek has been in and out. Boldy is struggling to carry the weight but has been doing fairly good still and Rossi is as well and let's remember, Guerin doesn't like Rossi lol. He seemingly tries to trade him every summer.

The buyouts hurt them and adding Nyquist as a depth winger wasn't enough.

Ohgren was so disappointing too, he had a prime opportunity to step up and just shit the bed. The wild have the 2nd best prospect pool, it's just they're not ready for NHL duty. But they're definitely going to be an insane team next season when they have a massive amount of cap space finally to add depth.

Back to Ohgren, to me has the Shane Wright feel, he should just stay in Iowa the rest of the season and he'll get that experience.

Edit: I should add, I hope Guerin is f***ing fired before he ruins this team. He's a moron. I used to like him as a GM and after the 4 nations, his fat ass can go f*** off. Brazeau for Khusnutdinov was just beyond stupid. They did that lad dirty with his development too.
 
Ok a few things I maybe missed with this update to the boards.

They finally added more reaction icons and still f***ed it up? Like how. It's not that hard. Like wtf is the angry face? Olli? I should be able to add the Sullivan head for disappointed and there should be an option for each board to have a set that are board exclusive that team board mods approve that are only in use when in the team board. Like reddit and "flair" for your team bs to lock you into a team board for that icon.

So I can fully show my disdain with a Sullivan head reaction to a post.

Also, finally adding the option to see ignored posts for contextual purposes. The fact it took this long is ridiculous but at least they got there finally.
 
Raks isn't getting traded this summer. Dubas made that pretty clear.
The same will apply to Rust and probably EK, because he's prioritizing guys who wanna be here for this re-tool.

In other words, 3 lost 1sts (and more) for no reason.
Who is going to give up a first for EK?
 
I wish this was a regulation loss but ain’t looking good…EK is the only one trying lol
