well its the right thing to do for the Wild.Worth noting that this is a little bit of a new look Wild as they are now a much heavier team with Middleton & D Lo setting the tone. The Greenway/Ek/Foligno line is always a nasty, physical, forecheck line. But from a Wild fan perspective, it's noticable how much more physical of a team we are now... we've always been fast with a high compete level... but it has a different feel now.
It's interesting to see opposing fans reactions to it.
Have to mention that we had absolutely shit scheduling. Didn’t arrive into Minny until 3am. They probably didn’t get to sleep until 4am+.
now they're bullying our television providersDid anyone else’s feed just switch over to the Minnesota one???
I really like these intermission analyses by Mayers
fake? no one pretends to be tough, except maybe OEL lol. We're openly soft lolWe are fake tough guys. Outside of Shenn, soft as babyshit
He's retired now but I always liked Thor Nelson. He was a linesman but he was 6'8. And his name is Thor.How big are these refs? They look the same size as Greenway lol
need our contending team to put our foot down on these pretendersWe're not far behind the Wild and thats with the absolute garbage reffing going their way and the horrible schedule we've had. We can take these guys in a fair series.
I have zero problem trading him for cheaper option up front or on defence
He’s more skilled than say Pearson but his style of play is only as effective as him.

With playoff reffing Minny could be a nasty piece of business for a 7 game seriesWe're not far behind the Wild and thats with the absolute garbage reffing going their way and the horrible schedule we've had. We can take these guys in a fair series.
Not at all. You missed the last decade where heavyweight fighters got phased out. you dont need a goon on the end of your bench. You need 6-8 guys that can play hockey and arent afraid to mix it up. As much as I HATE the guy, Ryan Kesler was a good hockey player that didnt get pushed around. Bieksa didnt get pushed around and played 2nd pairing minutes, Kassian can contribute and toss them, etc etc etc.Sounds like we need to bring back the boxing hobo on skates, Tom Sestito.
