And yes, keep Carter in booth. Miles better than Walz.

Will we. I hate to go all CPAMAN, but I'm not that encouraged about last night. When I talked before about the guys like Staal, I said I expected them to have their moments during the year. Last night was one of those moments. The vets were nicely engaged and played a smart effective game. I also saw a lot of the same old same old. Missed breakaway chances, sloppy ass PP shifts etc. It was a good win against a quality opponent, but I'm going to need to see a hell of a lot more and I'm not holding my breath.

As nice as it was last night I saw a stat about how much scoring Edmonton does on their first line and how poor their 3rd and 4th lines are. We match up nicely with them. They probably aren't as good as their record but it was a nice win and a shutout.

We have to add Hunt to our bringing it list....4 goals this year already.

Phil Riewer -> RE: Wild 2019/2020 Season (10/23/2019 9:52:06 AM)
Michael Russo @RussoHockey 14h14 hours ago Brad Hunt is tied for 2nd in the NHL among defensemen with 4 goals, tied for 1st with 2 PPG's. When I wrote in the preseason Dumba would be pushing 30 goals this season, that was a typo. Should have read Hunt. @ZPathletic didn't catch it. We regret the error

Excuse my giddiness Its the first real NHL level hockey I've seen the local boys play this year Edmonton had every reason to be pissed off and on it last night, they have been the leagues best team so far and last night, they could get nothing going against us. Its in us to play very good hockey. Like I said, never know if we will or not, and that's the problem. Fun to see for one night however. Another good add … Hunt has been maybe the nicest surprise. Guy can play. Should be on every PP. with the #1 group.

And yes, keep Carter in booth. Miles better than Walz. And Walz is miles better than Greenlay. So just think of the universe-sized chasm between Greenlay and Carter. I agree with all of the above - I like what Carter brings to the commentary.

I agree with all of the above - I like what Carter brings to the commentary. Calmness of Morneau With the knowledge of Walz, and he doesn't make it about him, like Walz does. Just a nice, calm, description of the plays with some inside knowledge Its not as hard as some make it look.

I wasn't planning to watch the game last night just because of my fatigue in seeing them lose. But the game was on the tv when I came home from running an errand and I walked into the house just in time to see Stahl's second goal - so I got hooked. Again. It was good to see the team in the form we thought we remembered they were capable of.

SoMnFan -> RE: Wild 2019/2020 Season (10/23/2019 10:23:27 AM)
I'll stop with my optimism, but IF we go to Nashville and fight them to the finish … look out. I might be back in, with a vengance. [;)] Because, ya know... apparently we have to play Nashville THERE only. BETTMANN! [X(]

SoMnFan -> RE: Wild 2019/2020 Season (10/23/2019 10:24:31 AM)

By the way, Pretty hard to hit Greenway in the head without an effort to go high, esp. from little smurf who hit him. And Mr Stripes was standing right there. Hope that's a fine.

Hope that's a fine. The sad thing is that Greenway was having a great game after SMF and I did such a thorough job of motivating him.

Absolutely Deserved a penalty at the time and now should be a fine Basically smacked him right in the head Thought they were trying to fix that problem Sad, because he was (as BB said later) … in BEAST MODE up to that point. Something put a quarter into him and Staal last night. They were possessed from the opening puck drop. Thought Soucy was very good too.

You can bet if it was McDavid that took that hit something would have been done..... The more I see of Soucy the more I like his game. I can see why Seeler is having a hard time getting ice time the way Soucy is playing. Time to trade Brodin for a quality forward and make room for both Soucy and Seeler.....

We're # 30 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 30. Minnesota Wild Previous ranking: 28 Porous defense. Some predictive models had the Wild around the playoff bubble, for the fact that they had the lowest expected goals against (130.24) at 5-on-5 last season. This season, the Wild have stumbled early on the back end, surrendering 3.56 goals per game.

Tonight will tell us all we need to know. There's no middle ground with tonights result.

WILD (3-6-0) at PREDATORS (5-3-1) 8 p.m. ET; FS-TN, FS-N, FS-WI, NHL.TV The Game The Minnesota Wild look for their third straight win following a 1-6-0 start to the season when they visit the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena on Thursday. Goalie Alex Stalock will start; No. 1 goalie Devan Dubnyk will not play because of an upper-body injury sustained at 1:59 of the second period of a 3-0 victory against the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday. Stalock finished the game and made 16 saves for the combined shutout. Dubnyk could play against the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday, Wild coach Bruce Boudreau said. Defenseman Jordan Greenway will not face the Predators because of an illness. Nashville, 4-2-1 in its past seven games, could be without forward Filip Forsberg, who may miss his fourth consecutive game because of a lower-body injury. Players to watch Wild forward Eric Staal has four points (two goals, two assists) in his past two games. Predators defenseman Ryan Ellis has nine assists in a five-game point streak, with multiple points in four of them. They said it "It's a better feeling than losing. The last three games, I thought we've played pretty good. And we've just got to keep building on that and make it three in a row here. That'd be nice." -- Minnesota defenseman Jonas Brodin "Obviously we didn't get much time together during [training] camp but I've thought over the course of these last nine games, coming into 10, we've been pretty solid. We've been making plays, and I've been trying my best. Obviously he's such a great skater, so give him the puck at the right times to help him get up the ice. So far it's been pretty seamless." -- Nashville defenseman Dante Fabbro on being paired with Mattias Ekholm Wild projected lineup Mats Zuccarello -- Eric Staal -- Luke Kunin Zach Parise -- Mikko Koivu -- Jason Zucker Marcus Foligno -- Victor Rask -- Ryan Hartman Ryan Donato -- Gabriel Dumont -- Gerald Mayhew Ryan Suter -- Jared Spurgeon Jonas Brodin -- Matt Dumba Carson Soucy -- Brad Hunt Alex Stalock Kaapo Kahkonen Scratched: Nick Seeler Injured: Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body), Kevin Fiala (lower body), Greg Pateryn (core), Devan Dubnyk (upper body), Jordan Greenway (upper body) Predators projected lineup Calle Jarnkrok -- Ryan Johansen -- Viktor Arvidsson Mikael Granlund -- Kyle Turris -- Matt Duchene Rocco Grimaldi -- Nick Bonino -- Craig Smith Miikka Salomaki -- Colton Sissons -- Austin Watson Roman Josi -- Ryan Ellis Mattias Ekholm -- Dante Fabbro Dan Hamhuis -- Yannick Weber Pekka Rinne Juuse Saros Scratched: Matt Irwin Injured: Filip Forsberg (lower body) Status report Rask participated in the morning skate and could play. … Eriksson Ek could play Saturday, Boudreau said. … Kahkonen was recalled from Iowa of the American Hockey League on Wednesday. … Forsberg did not participate in the morning skate. Stat pack Koivu has 44 points (nine goals, 35 assists) in 49 games against the Predators. … Josi has eight points (four goals, four assists) in his past seven games. … Turris has five points (two goals, three assists) in a four-game point streak.

Wow, BB jumped Kunin from 3rd line center to 1st line RW. Next thing you know, he might 30 seconds on the power play.

stfrank -> RE: Wild 2019/2020 Season (10/24/2019 8:09:57 PM)
Jumping in to check the score and see we are out shooting them 14-5, but down 0-1......back to usual I guess.

stfrank -> RE: Wild 2019/2020 Season (10/24/2019 8:36:58 PM)
Tune in again only to watch us give up another goal with 29 seconds left in the 2nd period.....now 0-2.

SoMnFan -> RE: Wild 2019/2020 Season (10/25/2019 7:33:33 AM)
ugh. Right back to in-the-shitter Stalocks like having your own kid playing again … "you want him to do so well, but he just isn't quite good enough for this level ………" He's not good enough to replace Dubnyk, who's not good enough to be a starting NHL goalie So we have that going for us, which is, ya know … awful Renne is just so good, have no idea how they don't win more there. He looks unbeatable when we play him. I honestly don't think he even broke a sweat last night Makes it look so easy to shut us out. There really wasn't one puck that even got close to getting by him. That has to be kinda nice, eh.
